Tablets: 3 things to consider before buying
When choosing tablets, screen size and resolution are crucial factors. A larger screen, such as 10″ or more, is ideal for watching videos or multitasking, while smaller screens around 7″ to 8″ are more portable and easier to handle. Resolution is equally important; a higher resolution means sharper images and text. For instance, a Full HD display (1920x1080 pixels) offers a clear and detailed viewing experience. Consider your primary use of tablets to find the right balance between size and resolution.
The operating system (OS) of tablets affects app availability and user experience. There are three main OS options: iOS, Android, and Windows. iOS is known for its smooth performance and wide range of apps but is exclusive to Apple products. Android offers flexibility and customization, with a variety of devices to choose from. Windows tablets provide a desktop-like experience, which can be beneficial for productivity tasks. Reflect on what you need most from tablets in terms of apps and functionality before making a decision.
If you're opting for active 3D glasses, battery life is an important factor. Some models offer up to 40 hours of viewing time on a single charge, while others may only last a few hours. Consider how often you'll use the glasses and choose a pair with a battery life that suits your needs. Additionally, check the charging options—USB charging can be more convenient than replacing disposable batteries.
