View all posts. Hello Timothy. I wonder if you could help me further please. The sound has gone on this Apple I pad and I need to replace it with something easy to use. I looked at the Samsung S6 light P yesterday. I am 70 and not very good with todays technology. Hey, it depends on your budget and preferred operating system. Personally, I think Android tablets are very easy to use. I found this one, Galaxy Tab A7 that looks like it has what you need.
As i prefer compact but worry What if 8. Of course 8. Pam Parker here, I am 75 and hVe decided to write my memoirs. Mostly for family and friends, but not being tech-savvy I need to get a tablet or another easy peasy device for the dumb founded to record into and it will write for me and then I can edit it latter.
Then I need to know how many gigabit I need in a tablet to write my book…i had a big life! Hope you can help me find what I need. Thanks P. Hey Pam, that sounds like a big project! How about using the Voice Typing feature on Google Docs? Your email address will not be published. That's not awful, but it's still a while to wait for an update to a premium device.
Meanwhile, you can forget about Android updates altogether if you buy a cheap device. Those will likely come with an old version of Android, and rarely, if ever, see any upgrades past what ships on it.
Assuming you already have an Android phone, you're probably looking to get a tablet for secondary use. A common purpose for a tablet is playing mobile games.
But if this is why you want a tablet, you're much better off getting an iPad. We've looked at why iPhone and iPad are better for mobile games before. Games often launch first or exclusively on iOS, sometimes months before they see an Android release.
Because Apple only makes a few phones and tablets, compared to the thousands of Android devices available, game developers tend to focus on iOS due to easier development. Often, game performance is better on iPad as well. This is especially true when you compare a modern iPad to most of the cheap or outdated Android tablets available now. Another big benefit of an iPad is that you can take advantage of Apple Arcade. You can download these for offline play and even share your subscription with your family.
Google Play Pass is a similar service on Android, if you do end up going with an Android tablet. Which service is better for you depends on the games you want to play. Now that we've seen why Android tablets really aren't worth the cost, what should you get instead? Think about what you want to buy a tablet for, and you'll likely find a device that does it better for the same or a lower cost. If you want to get the cheapest tablet possible for your kids or as a throwaway device, the Fire 7 Tablet is a great choice.
It integrates with your Amazon Prime account for all kinds of goodies, offers expandable storage, and often goes on sale for a steep discount. But for the price, you won't find a better value. Let's say you decide to get an Android tablet. Technology, tips and advice Is there a reason to buy a tablet anymore? By buzzpoint-admin 1 March No Comments. For Tablets are a lot easier to use and more productive than a smartphone, mainly because of the bigger screen making it easier to view websites and watch videos.
This also makes it easier to use them for work-related tasks while you are out of the office and even doing small presentations at meetings. They are generally more powerful than a smartphone so performance should be better. Cheaper to buy than a laptop and still as good to use, especially if you buy a tablet that has a wireless keyboard too. Good for travel, easily fit into a bag when travelling and a good addition to any trip whether you want to read your favourite ebook on the beach on holiday or watch a movie while you are waiting for a flight.
With very few physical buttons other than power, home, and volume they are very easy devices for kids to interact with using the large touchscreen. They can use them to watch their favourite cartoons or play the latest game. As IDC found for two quarters in a row , while tablet sales are shrinking, sales are growing for 2-in-1 tablets that mimic PCs. From the Microsoft Surface to iPad Pro, people are buying tablets that come with a detachable keyboard because they can be replacements for PCs or laptops.
Tablets have one big problem right now, which is writing and input. As good as virtual keyboards and touch gestures are, they still don't match up to a physical keyboard and mouse or trackpad for pinpoint accuracy and speed. More importantly, 2-in-1s give you the best of both worlds. A tablet that can be used as a tablet, and a laptop that can be used as a laptop, both shifting into their own roles as required. If the primary use of your tablet is going to be to read ebooks, you need to rethink this.
E-readers are better for your eyes due to e-ink , can store all the ebooks you could ever need at a time, and are much lighter and therefore more comfortable. In fact, the lightness of e-readers matters a lot. You are going to hold this device in your hand for a long time as you flip through the pages, and even 7-inch tablets are heavy enough that your arm will feel strained after a few minutes.
That's not the case with most e-readers. In fact, a Kindle will get you to read more , so if you're a bibliophile, forget about using a tablet. The one exception to this rule is when reading comics, for which tablets are still better than e-readers.
A bigger screen does make it more pleasant to play games like Infinity Blade 3 or Dead Trigger. If you're a serious gamer, then getting a tablet to play games makes sense. But if you're a serious gamer, ask yourself if you are going to enjoy tablet games over a PS4, Xbox, or a better graphics card for your PC. Unless you're already covered with all your other gaming needs, your money will probably be better spent elsewhere. For casual gamers, buying a tablet for the games alone isn't the best option.
There are some games so beautiful you'll forget they're played on phones.
