You are probably sitting on the fence deciding whether you should get a tablet computer or not. After all, you already have a smart phone and a laptop. So what are the uses of a tablet and why should you get one? Or not?
Major Uses of a Tablet
The major uses of a tablet is to consume information. It is used to surf the web, watching video, playing games, accessing Facebook, reading email, etc. There are of course keyboard accessories that you can purchase if you want to do data entry. If you do a lot of travelling, a tablet, especially the 7″ versions will be perfect as they are really “portable” and can easily fit in your hand. Other uses of a tablet includes reading eBooks with your tablet. Now, if all you want is just to read Ebooks, consider an eBook reader which is much cheaper than a full-blown tablet. The good thing with the eReaders is that most of them come with built-in wifi so that you can surf the web.
If you already have a laptop, you can sync information between the two devices. With many devices, you can also share information by having access to “cloud” computing services. “Cloud computing” is the latest buzzword for storing your information on remote servers so that you can easily access your files (music, video, documents, etc.) securely and safely from anywhere. So if you lose your laptop or tablet, your information is not lost. Apple provides free cloud computing with their latest iOS 5.1 and above.
