Laptop vs tablet
When I consider Laptop versus tablet, I think of what I will be using it for the most. When it comes to my laptop I use it for all of my school purposes. When it comes to my tablet, it is used for pretty much everything else. I actually have both, compliments of my awesome gift giving husband. The laptop was specifically purchased for me for school, while the iPad was more for personal use/pleasure. To be honest, I rely a lot on my husband to make these types of choices for me. When he first gave me the iPad for Christmas, it was nice but felt really unnatural when I used it. I was already used to my laptop that he got me for the previous Christmas. When comparing the two, I do feel the iPad is so much more convenient, and so much less maintenance. My laptop literally requires updates daily, and if I do not so them it kicks me off of the internet. This has happened several times, and it is not fun when you are right in the middle of an assignment. Even so, the laptop is so much easier to complete and submit assignments because of the keyboard. The iPad on the other hand, once I got used to it, is so much easier to do things like reading emails and social networking. I surf the internet and look on Pinterest as well, but that pretty much it when it comes to the iPad. The thing I love most about the iPad is it is so convenient to move about the house with, and you can take it anywhere with you. It is perfect for road trips. I do like my laptop for all of the storage purposes, and the different programs I can access for school. I guess if I had to post my thoughts on one versus the other, I would say, buy both if you can. I think they both have their pros and cons and you really can’t compare the two because they both serve very different purposes. My iPad is so easy to use, my nine year old has pretty much taken it over, and so that would be a big selling point on the iPad. Overall, I am happy with both of these products and feel they were both very good

    While the iPad has an abundance of appealing features, I find it hard to want to join in the hype and rush out and buy one. In my research of the product I find it has an undeniable appeal but, it just doesn’t appear to be practical or necessary. The iPad has some major downsides including its inability to load flash pages and perform some tasks. It offers applications for basic word processing and office tasks but, at a price of 9.99 each.…

    Typically laptops come with more memory (4-8GB) than tablets. Tablets typically come with an average of 1GB of RAM. If the purchase is for memory purposes then the laptop would be a better option. However, the tablet can have increased memory it just comes at a steeper price ($2000) than the laptop. The battery life of the device is important depending on how much the device will be used. The average battery life for a laptop is about six hours. Let’s keep in perspective it takes more “juice” to run a laptop than a small tablet which has an average battery life of ten hours. The main focus for a purchase would be price, memory, and battery life. Laptops, like desktop PCs before them, have a built-in benefit over tablets, and that benefit is power. As a rule, laptops have more powerful processing hardware, allowing for a wider range of uses, faster performance and better multitasking. Laptops can easily handle common tablet uses—like Web browsing and media streaming—and then go significantly further, with uses ranging from simple data entry to complex tasks like photo and video editing.…

    Laptops vs Tablets

    In this paragraph/section of the essay we are going to focus on the portability of tablets vs. laptops. Because laptops have a physical keyboard, it makes it a lot easier to complete your work whether it be for school, work, or even just personal use. Having a physical keyboard allows the device to have more space on the screen so you can really see what you are needing to do, or are doing. Although laptops do have a physical keyboard, they are less portable than tablets are because of how big they are. Laptops tend vary in size anywhere from 5 pounds to 6 or 7 pounds. Tablets on the other hand are great portable devices because of how small they are. Yes, they lack the keyboard but it does cut out most of the weight. Tablets in most cases weigh less than 2 pounds, and some are even less than 1 pound. Tablets may be more portable that laptops are but because of how small they are, the capabilities lack those of the laptop. I believe that because laptops are not as portable as tablets are, people usually tend to sit down and fully concentrate on their work rather than being able to just grab the tablet and doing it on the go. So portability would have to go the tablets, due to their sleek and small design. You can just throw your tablet in your bag or even just hold on to without having your arm get tired. Not only are tablets small and sleek and portable, but also they are also great for kids that are stuck in the car on a long car ride. All you have to do is just turn on Netflix, or…
