Reasons Why Tablets Will Overtake Laptops

The laptop has been around for quite some time, but it will more than likely be replaced as the tool for computing. The successor of it will be the tablet which is commonly used. Tablets have been incredibly helpful that is technologically developed at present, reports Jack Wallen of Tech Public.

As tablets have more features than that of laptops, it is afforded by businessmen and others in the society as it helps to finish work in a lot more comfortable manner. Here are some reasons why tablets will replace the laptops as the mobile device of choice.

Power consumption

The tablet blows away the laptop with regard to power consumption. With a single charge, it can be used at least for a day. Regarding laptops, this is completely different and losing power is just another obstacle that interferes with work. With a tablet this can be solved as it would be a rare occasion that you would burn through your power before getting access to a means of recharging.

Viruses

It's pretty safe to have tablets that will never suffer from the same deluge of viruses that plagues a Windows laptop. A tablet can safely work on without concern for viruses and malware. Having antivirus software in the Android Market, which is pointless, cannot be trusted. Anyone in the world wants to work with a portable device that is not vulnerable to the masses of viruses and malware out in the present world which is moving with competitiveness.

Portability

It is not easy to carry a 4 to 12 pound laptop, but a 5 pound tablet is easily portable. It is helpful while travelling to places like airports, taxis, hotels, conferences, meetings etc. The choice of the users will be the tablet every time. But it is not just because of weight. The ability to work with a tablet in confined spaces totally overshadows the laptop. You can't beat the tablet for portability which is the selection of all masses in the society.

Cost effectiveness

A really good tablet will cost about the same as a low to mid range laptop. So a user is getting more for his money at the outset. On the other hand, when it is figured about the price of an extra battery and software for the laptop and quickly the cost will add up and gradually rises which makes users pay more unnecessarily. Tablets are fast becoming one of the most cost effective office tools which are increasing in the market concentrating on users as to what exactly they need.

Online Connection

By paying the extra fee, a user can get the tablet with a 4G connection, and don't have to worry about finding a Wi-Fi connection to access whatever cloud or service they need. Most models can be purchased with a constant network connection (to the tune of 3G or 4G), which makes the tablet a step ahead of most laptops. Though a user can purchase aircards for laptops, but that's just another piece of hardware to worry about and has to be paid for it also.

Available applications

There are thousands of applications now available for tablets. So many in number and variety are these applications, it almost makes going back to a laptop a real pain. A good portion of those apps are worthless, but not all of them. And a good portion of the solid, useful apps are free. Best of all, those apps can be installed from anywhere without installation media. If there is a network connection, a user can install software. By these apps a user can make use of it in his work in the ways it supports.

User friendliness

Tablet interfaces are probably some of the single most user-friendly desktops that a user will come across. They are simple, elegant, and don't get in the way of work. The applications were also designed with amazing user friendliness in mind. Simple to use, very little clutter to the interface and singular in purpose.

So a user might have more apps installed than he would have on a laptop, but because of the ease of installation/removal, this doesn't emerge as a problem.

Bluetooth connectivity

Headphones, headsets, keyboards, can be easily connected to it within no time and tablets make the connection between these devices a breeze. Connecting those same devices to a laptop is not an easy task. Even with a built in card, the connection process is not nearly as easy as it is when done from a tablet. Laptops when considered of doing these jobs lags behind because of the lack of getting connectivity as faster than compared to the pace of a tablet.

Efficiency

Getting a laptop and a tablet and checking its competence in efficiency will bring neck to neck competition which finally ends tablet in winning for its fast working. Tablets are as close to an instant on tool that has been in the industry and when on the go, nothing beats instant on. Need to write a note or send off a fast email, you will be able to complete it much more quickly when doing it from a tablet rather than laptop.

Social integration

According to some, social networking is not ideal for business use. But in the real context, it's different. Even when anyone moves out for work, they need to remain in contact with co-workers, family, and friends. It can be done with the ease of nearly seamless integration by forgetting having to use a browser for everything. Instead, one can use an Android tablet that can quickly have you Facebooking, Tweeting, and others. And remember that many small businesses depend upon social networking tools for free marketing.
