With all of the students going back to school the question is up in the air, can you use a tablet in place of a laptop and if so are the functions and software there to support using one.
Personally we say yes a tablet has the same features as most laptops with many advantages. Of course the first and most important aspect of a tablet is ease of transporting followed closely with the incredible battery life that tablets possess.
Some of the Advantages of a Tablet over a Laptop:
- Weight and Size
- Battery Life
- Fast wake up
- Speed because of lightweight OS
- Ability to have 4G built in
“It depends on how much content creation they’re going to be doing versus consumption,” said Nick Stam, director of technical marketing at NVIDIA. “That holds true for not just the back to school kids but for everyone.”
Of course we are thinking high end tablets when we are talking about replacing your laptop. This would include tablets like the Motorola Xoom, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, ASUS Transformer, etc.
While many users such as engineering majors and businesses that require more intense processor speeds this would not be a viable option. Those that are using it for school and basic business functions will easily be able to do everything if not more on a tablet. We have no doubt that in the near future tablets will fully replace laptops and desktops alike.
