Tablets

Tablets are portable computers suitable for business people, students, and people who use their devices on-the-go. These devices are equipped with a large touch screen. Tablets don't particularly have keyboards or any physical drives. They run on smart phone operating systems such as Apple iOS or Google's Android. Although these devices seem like a "new thing" the very first device similar to the tablet was created in the early 1980's. In the early 2000's Microsoft revived the project and released a tablet PC running on a special Windows operating system. They're improvement didn't seem to make an impact on consumers.
 * About Tablets **

Tablets can replace laptops for on the go people. But is a tablet really better than a laptop? Laptops have a wider variety of uses that can be used for different situations. The most obvious difference between a tablet and a laptop is a tablet's lack of keyboard making it harder to type things fast when you need to get things researched or essays to type. Which would make a laptop better for a college student that types essays for their English class. Tablets might be more suitable for people who aren't working on important projects. Laptops also run off of a more powerful hardware. Which makes the battery drain much easier and faster. While a tablet can stay running for ten hours without a charge, a laptop dies within the 3-5 hour range with a system that could maybe stretch it out to 8 hours but that's still less than a tablet.
 * Laptops and Tablets**

In order to keep their size and prices low, tablets have had to rely on new solid state storage memory as a means to store programs and data. These have the usage of faster data use and lower power usage but it has a huge disadvantage in the amount of information that can be stored. Most tablets offer 16 and 64 gigabytes of storage. Comparing the two, most laptops use traditional hard drives that hold far much more information and files. Affordable net books can hold up to 160 gigabytes of storage which allows ten times more data to be stored and saved.
 * Storage Capacity Laptops vs. Tablets**

Laptops generally run faster than tablets. For example, if a tablet and a laptop had Windows 7 processor, the laptop would run faster than the laptop getting more tasks done at a quicker pace. Which makes laptops a suitable fit for both business people and college students.
 * Software **

Laptops seem to me more productive than tablets are. Although tablets are portable and have a long lasting battery, laptops are more suitable for students and easier to figure out. They also can get projects done faster, and save more memory on their laptops.
