Selecting a Tablet PC can be tough, with over 80 currently available and a rumored 150 to be ready by year’s end. There are so many different models, sizes, manufacturers and features. But you should be asking yourself another question entirely. You probably already own a laptop and a smartphone, so why buy a tablet anyway? Below is the Top 5 Reasons Tablet PCs are tops over smartphones and laptops and possibly the best mobile computer choice.
Better Portability
How can a larger tablet be more portable than a smartphone you can slip in your pocket? You have to consider what Tablets offer. Their feature-sets and abilities far outweigh what the tiny-screened smartphones can deliver. And there is no argument they do most everything a laptop does with nowhere near the weight or size. For all they can do, they are the most portable mobile PC by far.
More Productivity
A laptop can be productive, and so can a smartphone, but as a mobile PC, you just can’t beat what the Tablet PC offers. For that matter, a desktop can outperform all of the mobile PCs listed, but it just isn’t mobile. If you want to read an eBook, have a video-chat, or stay in real-time contact with the office, the perfectly sized and formed Tablet crushes the bulky laptop and smaller, less capable smartphone as a mobile device.
Better Mobile Entertainment
Now that tablets come in big 10 inch screens and offer all the Flash support and High Def ability that multimedia enjoyment has to have, why carry a big bulky laptop that you have to wait on for it to power up? And a smartphone doesn’t come close to the gaming and video experiences a tablet offers. Easy win here for best mobile entertainment system.
Better Battery Life
With anywhere from 8 to 14 hours of operation, battery life on a single charge offers more options in the tablet than smartphone or laptop. Laptops have nowhere near the run time, and smartphones can’t do as much. And battery life will only continue to improve as more competitors enter the tablet marketplace.
Mobile computing is all about what you can do with the greatest of ease. Acting as a phone, PC and eReader, as well as a multimedia and gaming centerpiece, there is no doubt that Tablet PCs are here to stay, and forecast tough times for laptops and smartphones as mobile PCs.
ThinkPad notebooks are already pushing the limits for battery life. This hardware optimization coupled with this new rapid charging technology for the batteries will usher in a new era in long battery life for mobile devices.
