    It seems ambiguous whether the Kindle Fire can be categorized as a tablet or e-reader. Nowadays, these two terms are looking and performing quite similarly thus making it difficult to tell them apart. There are some important differences between the two that will prove useful in making this distinction. The first is screen size as the Kindle Fire has a 7-ich screen, which is consistent with most other e-readers. In contrast, tablets come in a range of sizes but some of the more popular ones such as the i-Pad can have 10-iche screens. Another key differentiator is the software in each product; the i-Pad runs on the iOS, which has extensive online stores that have thousands of apps. They allow for a lot of options when you can have the option to download a second web browser outside of the one pre-installed. The Kindle Fire runs a special proprietary version of Android owned by Amazon with fewer features and available apps.…

    Screen Evaluation Research Paper

    There are ways to make tablet better than the phone because the tablet have books that are easier to read in than phone. The phones models improve with bigger screens like the iPhones. The bigger screens of the phones make more people buy them, so they can read better. Tablet has a brightness option to make the screen easier to read from in some places that are dark. The glass that I like on the screen for tablet is the Gorilla glass. The Gorilla glass strengthens the resistance of the glass, so it doesn’t break easily, allows very light screens to last longer on tablets, and is very popular to the world. The tablet that I want is a screen with a size of 18 inches. Twelve screen tablets are great because they allow multiple apps to run at the same time and handle lots of tasks like a computer does. One of the tablets that has a screen size of 18 inches is Samsung Galaxy View. The tablet is very nice to watch videos from, read from, and look at the Internet sources. The speakers are high-quality with the ability to hear the sound from anywhere near the…

    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.…
