Lenovo tablet functions. Tablet computer functions and capabilities

An Internet tablet is the most simplified and lightweight tablet computer, the main function of which is to provide the ability to work on the Internet. Although, additional features, such as watching videos and reading e-books, have not been canceled.

Externally, an Internet tablet is something like a large smartphone, which can be controlled with your fingers and that’s all... It has become almost a standard that these screens support multi-touch gestures (more on them below).

By the way, if you wish, you can connect an external keyboard and even a mouse to your tablet... but this depends on the model and usually additional accessories must be purchased separately

Internet tablets run on mobile operating systems. In fact, today there are two of these operating systems - iOS for tablets from Apple and Android for everyone else. Although, there are a few exceptions, for example, a Windows 7 tablet that is successfully selling on the market

Tablet computer market today

The history of modern Internet tablets began in 2010 when Steve Jobs introduced the first model of the legendary Apple iPad to the world.

The advantage of the iPad (now iPad2) is not only the big show-off, but the fact that the device’s interface is really as convenient as possible, and the tablet is very high quality, fast and productive.

The downside is, firstly, Flash technology, which Apple does not support and which is why it always turns out to be necessary! Secondly, there is no slot for a memory card, which is still a serious limitation. Third, it is inconvenient to synchronize the tablet and computer - only through a special iTunes program, which is not so simple and has its own “problems”.

The fourth and main disadvantage that may prevent you from choosing an iPad is the price. Still, this is an expensive “toy”.

But, as they say, not just the iPad. Quite often, the super-functions of the “main” tablet turn out to be simply unnecessary... and practical people choose ideal alternative devices for themselves. Let's do this too.

Tablet characteristics:

Size

When we say tablet size, we mean screen size and vice versa. Because in fact, besides the screen, the tablet has nothing else components and no... The Internet tablet market is dominated by three standard displays: 7 inches, 8 inches, 9.7 and 10 inches.

Of course, the larger the screen, the more comfortable it is to watch movies, play games, read books... But a large screen also has one drawback - using a large device, for example, in transport, is not always convenient. You have to get it, hold it, control it so that it doesn’t get snatched from your hands...

Therefore, if you plan to use your tablet on the go, then pay attention to models with a 7-8 inch screen. Well, we’ll talk about what the screen should be like below.

Screen

Screen Size:
There are four standard screen sizes - 7", 8", 9.7" and 10"-10.1". At the same time, 7" and 10" screens have an aspect ratio of 16:9, and 8" and 9.7" have an aspect ratio of 4:3 (let me remind you that The iPad screen has a size of 9.7" and an aspect ratio of 4:3).

A 16:9 wide screen is better for watching movies. For browsing the Internet and reading, a narrow one is more convenient - 4:3.

A huge advantage of a seven-inch tablet is its light weight and size. It is easy to hold in your hands for a long time and fits into a jacket pocket or handbag.

The 7" screen size is quite sufficient for games (after all, almost all of them were created for mobile phones with much smaller screens) and watching movies on the go. For the Internet and reading, the wide 7" screen is too small. Yes, everything is visible and you can use it, but 8"-9.7" is much more convenient. Tablets with a wide screen 10"-10.1" are not very practical in my opinion.

There are two main types of screens used in tablets - IPS and TN. IPS has maximum viewing angles and excellent picture parameters, but it is expensive. TNs come in very different quality: on some screens the picture may darken when the angle is deviated downwards by as much as 5 degrees, on others it looks quite decent when viewed at large angles.

1. Screen type

Firstly, there are two types of touch screens - capacitive and resistive. A capacitive screen responds only to finger pressure, a resistive screen responds to the pressure of anything in the hand, and most often the owners of such screens have a special stick in their hand - a stylus.

A resistive screen has one big plus over a capacitive screen - it is cheaper, and three big disadvantages: firstly, it is less reliable, and secondly, it has low light transmission, so you have to use a strong backlight and, as a result, the battery runs out faster. And the third minus is especially important for tablets because... very significantly limits their functionality - it is impossible to implement multi-touch gesture control technology on a resistive screen! About her below

2. What is multitouch

The presence of multi-touch support means that the tablet's touch screen perceives not one, but several touches at once. This makes control even more convenient, makes it possible to scale, move, rotate, group objects using standard gestures, and opens up wide scope for games.

Fortunately, resistive screens and the lack of multi-touch are already a thing of the past and remain the lot of very cheap tablets.

3. Screen expansion

Seven-inch tablets most often use screens with resolutions of 800x480 and 1024x600 pixels. Most tablets have a screen of 800x480 pixels, but recently inexpensive tablets with screens 1024x600 pixels. If you plan to use the tablet for browsing the Internet and reading, I highly recommend looking for a tablet with a 1024x600 pixel screen, because the text on it looks much clearer.

The vast majority of 8" tablets have a resolution of 800x600 pixels, but tablets with screens of 1024x768 pixels and even higher resolution are starting to appear. Of course, I do not recommend taking a tablet with a screen of 800x600 pixels, because 800 pixels in width is not enough even for a 7-inch screen.

The same thing happens with 9.7" tablets: the standard screen is 1024x768 pixels (like the iPad 2), but tablets with 1280x768 screens have begun to appear.

Processor and RAM

Just like in laptops, the processor in tablets is the heart of the entire mechanism. The speed and stability of all applications depends on it!

If you don't plan to perform super-complex tasks like processing graphics or saving the world from a cosmic threat, then a processor with a frequency of about 600 MHz will be enough for you.

If you need fast work applications, wide gaming capabilities and the ability to watch FullHD video, it is better to choose a tablet with a processor with a frequency of more than 1 GHz. The standard solution for today is Cortex A8 and A9 processors. Cortex is not a processor model, but an architecture from ARM, which does not make processors itself. The AllWinner A10 chip is very popular, including an A8 core operating at a frequency of 1000-1200Mhz and a Mali-400 graphics core. Cortex A9 comes in single-core and dual-core versions. Of course, the more, the better, but a single-core A8 at 1Ghz is already good - the Internet, video, toys will work fine.

RAM also affects the speed of the device:
1. RAM - random access memory necessary for running programs. Available in sizes from 256MB to 1GB. It should be at least 512 MB, but 1 GB won’t hurt.
2. System flash memory on which the operating system and programs are installed. It is desirable that this memory also be 1GB.
3. MicroSD card slot. The card can store video files, music, data, and also install some large programs and games.
4. Internal storage. Replaces or supplements a memory card. Typically it has a capacity of 8GB or 16GB, but the actual capacity will be 6 or 14GB. In this case, it is not at all necessary to strive for 16GB, because you can always use a MicroSD card.

Internet

All tablets have WI-FI. Bluetooth is quite rare, and is it really needed? There are tablets with a built-in 3G modem and a SIM card slot, but there are very few of them. Therefore, you should hardly hope to find a tablet with 3G that is good in all respects, but there are two solutions that replace the tablet’s built-in 3G:
1. Most tablets support an external USB modem. You don’t even need to configure anything: after connecting the modem, the tablet goes online on its own. It is only important that your modem is included in the list of supported ones. The most standard modems that support everything are Huawei E1550, E1750. To connect the modem, you may need an OTG cable, which may not be included with the tablet.
2. All Android smartphones (and iPhone too) can work in access point mode. In this case, the phone becomes a wi-fi router. Setting up this mode on your phone is very simple.

Additional features

Additional functions and modules that the tablet may have:
1. GSM– this module makes it possible to make calls and write SMS, i.e. Use your tablet like a big phone. Nowadays this module is no longer uncommon in tablets.

2. bluetooth– this interface allows you to connect various wireless devices, most often wireless headsets.

3. GPS– the module for determining coordinates, by far the most useful. Will allow the Owner to determine his position and speed. Allows you to use the tablet as a car navigator. And the author of these lines personally went mushroom hunting with a tablet and GPS.

4. USB– something that Apple doesn’t have, but others do. Used to connect anything and everything: flash drive, mouse, keyboard, player, printer, phone, external hard drive, etc. It all depends on the capabilities and tasks. Since a tablet is a mobile device, it most often has one USB. This is often mini-USB. All tablets have a USB port for connecting to a computer, but not all have OTG mode (connecting USB devices to the tablet). For OTG there can be either a large USB connector, a separate MiniUSB connector, or even a single MiniUSB connector used both for connecting to a computer and for OTG through a special OTG adapter. Some tablets come with an adapter, some need to be purchased separately.

5. HDMI– used to display images from a tablet on a screen, such as a TV, in high definition Full HD – to watch HD movies in stunning quality.

operating system

Almost all tablets run on Android. There are versions 2.2, 2.3 and 4.0. Android tablets below version 2.3 are no longer worth buying, but 2.3 is quite possible: Android 4 ICS does not have significant advantages for the user, but it does have disadvantages, in particular, there are problems with connecting the tablet to a computer in USB drive mode. Not all tablets running Android 4 have this implemented, and in some cases there may be instability in the operation of the tablet software after such a connection. In any case, all new tablets come with Android 4.0.3, so there is no choice.

Tablet weight

When choosing the size of your tablet, you should pay attention to its weight. A good weight for a seven-inch tablet is 320-330 grams. There are also 400-gram monsters, but it’s better not to take them.
A 9.7" tablet weighs 586-730 grams (iPads weigh from 601 to 662 grams depending on the model). 662 grams of the New iPad 4G are quite noticeable - it’s hard to hold it for a long time. Therefore, I definitely don’t recommend buying 700-gram tablets.
In theory, the golden mean should be an eight-inch tablet - from 490 to 600 grams.

Specific tips

In conclusion, I would like to move from vague descriptions of characteristics and other demagoguery to specific advice. Namely, to advise - the most proven models, those with which we ourselves have worked and which are in particular demand!

1. 7" IPS or TN 1024x600, Cortex A9, OTG, up to 330 grams, known model.
2. 8" 1024x768, Cortex A9, OTG, up to 500 grams, brand presence.
3. 9.7" IPS 1280x768, Cortex A9, OTG, up to 650 grams, branded.
If nothing can be found with the given characteristics, the processor bar can be lowered to A8, and the screen resolution of the 9.7" model can be lowered to 1024x768.

Tablet computers have already firmly won their place in the computer market. And today tablets are becoming more widespread throughout the world. Their data makes them suitable for use by many people. There is a lot of information about external data in other sections, but here we will consider other possibilities tablet computer, which allow him to have such popularity.

The main technical data of tablets that allow them to compete with other mobile computing devices are the amount of RAM and permanent memory, the presence of connectors for communication with other devices, the presence of video cameras for video recording and for video communication, and audio support. More and more tablets are being produced with various Internet connection modules. The processors used in tablets today are already built using multi-core technology, and modern models have two cores, and top models also have quad-core processors. Displays are increasingly moving into the high-resolution area and have already reached Full HD parameters. Such hardware only expands the capabilities of tablet computers.

Tablet computers also differ in the installed operating system. For Apple tablets or Android tablets, there are application stores online where you can install various programs, expanding the capabilities of tablets. And if Windows is already installed, then you can use programs and applications from your regular device on this device. desktop computer, you just need to look at the hardware requirements.

Modern tablet computers can access the Internet using Wi-Fi, 3G, 4G modules. There are various options for using a Wi-Fi module to connect to a 3G network or communicate via an Ethernet cable connection, but more on that in another article. The main thing is that you can work on the Internet. Hardware capabilities allow tablets to view video in high resolution, and the amount of permanent memory to store HD movies. To listen to audio, you can use either the built-in speakers or the headphone output. Installed applications will allow you to create, read and edit Word, Excel, etc. documents. Cameras allow you to take photos and videos, but if you want quality, it is better to use a photo camera or video camera. The cameras will also allow you to make video calls, for example, via Skype. You can download and install many games from stores for various operating systems. Reading e-books, viewing photos and simply editing them, and many other computer tasks that do not require large computing power can be performed using a tablet.

Every year, the hardware capabilities of tablets are only increasing, which leads to an increase in their capabilities.

Many people are interested in what a tablet is. This device appeared in our stores quite recently and not everyone understands how to use it.

So, what is a tablet? A tablet or tablet computer is a new subspecies modern computers. The main distinguishing feature of the tablet is the touch screen, which occupies most of the device's area. In addition, the screen acts as the only input device.

Since tablets are not equipped with a mouse, typing and program control is performed exclusively using your fingers on the device’s touchpad.

The history of the development of tablets, in the form in which we can see them now, began in January 2010. Then Apple introduced its tablet called iPad. The device was a huge success and quickly gained popularity among users. This did not go unnoticed, and a large number of computer equipment manufacturers began to produce their tablet computers. This is how the tablet market appeared, which is growing and developing very quickly. More and more manufacturers are releasing their solutions on various operating systems.

Tablets received a new round of development after the release of the second generation iPad tablet. This device further cemented Apple's dominance in the tablet market and increased competition.

What is a tablet: operating systems

Nowadays you can find tablet computers on the market that run on the following operating systems: Apple iOS, Android and Windows 7.

• Apple iOS is the operating system that powers iPad tablets.
• Android is the second most popular operating system on the tablet market. Most of the devices that compete with the iPad run on the Android OS. The most popular tablets based on this OS are: HTC Flyer, Acer Iconia Tab A501, Samsung Galaxy Tab P1000, DELL Streak 5, Viewsonic ViewPad 7.
• Windows 7 – There aren’t too many Windows 7 tablets, but they do exist. The main advantage of Windows tablets is their compatibility with all applications developed for this operating system. The most popular tablets based on this OS are: Acer Iconia Tab W500, Impression ImPAD 0111, Archos 9 PCtablet Atom, MSI WindPad, ASUS Eee Slate

What is a tablet and why is it needed?

A tablet is primarily a device for consuming digital content. Using a tablet is very convenient to read e-books, documents, websites, view videos, photos, presentations. In addition, it is very convenient and fun to play games on the tablet. To date, hundreds of high-quality games have been developed for tablets, regardless of the operating system.

But creating documents on your own or working on a tablet is quite difficult. The lack of a keyboard and mouse greatly limits the tablet in this regard. Therefore, if you need a computer primarily for work, pay attention to laptops; a tablet most likely will not suit you.

However, the tablet has a number of advantages over.

• The tablet consumes less electricity, which means it can work offline much longer than a laptop.
• Tablets are much more compact and lighter than laptops. This makes using them on the road much more convenient.
• Most often, tablets are cheaper than laptops.

I hope this article helped you understand what a tablet is, and you have already decided whether you need this device.

Which tablet should you choose? Tablet class

The functionality of the tablet is becoming increasingly developed. But the various characteristics of tablets are not always necessary for a particular person with his needs. Therefore, when wondering which tablet to buy, you should select the device based on its main functions.

- Basic level tablet Suitable for simple stationary web surfing, undemanding games and multimedia use. It has gained particular relevance as a tablet for a child, which can be used as a textbook. A tablet for a child can replace all textbooks; you just need to upload a digital or scanned copy of them. The varied design of devices allows you to choose both a tablet for girls and a tablet for boys.

- Gaming tablet . A large screen, a powerful processor and video card, a large amount of memory - these are the distinctive characteristics of tablets for a wide variety of games without losing the quality of video and graphics.

- Tablet with 3G. Constant mode“on-line” in the city, outside the city, in nature, in another region where there is operator network coverage and Wi-Fi. Therefore, for a given purpose, how to choose a tablet, you must be guided by the built-in 3G and 4G module.

- Tablet withGPS-navigation. When asked which tablet to choose, for example, for business trips, the best option The answer will be a talking tablet with a GPS module. By uploading maps and navigation programs to a talking tablet, you will get a full-fledged navigator, but with a wider display and many additional useful functions.

- Tablet-laptop. The ability to connect a keyboard and mouse, the Windows operating system and the availability of installation of various programs make the tablet an optimal replacement for a bulky laptop. And for even greater ergonomics, you can purchase a special case for your tablet with a built-in keyboard.

How to choose a tablet? Tablet operating system

Which tablet is better? With the usual Windows OS or mobile Android? It all depends on what functionality will be used on the tablet.

- OS Android from Google is installed on almost 75-80% of all mobile devices. It features a simple interface, a convenient hint system and the ability to change appearance systems to suit your taste.

- iOS from Apple is installed only on their branded devices and has a “closed” form, not allowing third-party applications and firmware to be installed on the tablet, unlike Android.

- OS Windows is the most common system for PCs, but for mobile devices the percentage of its use is very limited. The company is currently rectifying the situation by making new OS developments for mobile devices.

But which tablet is better? operating system each user will have to decide individually depending on his preferences. After all, the main difference between all systems is in the features of the interface and the organization of work with the tablet.

Which tablet should you choose? Tablet form factor

Before looking for where to buy a tablet, decide on the dimensions and design of the device. For example, a larger device is suitable for watching movies or games than for simple web surfing or on-the-go operation. You should also select the form factor of the device depending on the user’s personality. For example, a tablet for girls and boys in school can be about 10 inches (the size of an average book), as it makes it easier to work with it in class as with a textbook.

Which tablet should I buy? Tablet screen resolution and size

When wondering how to choose a tablet, you should consider the ratio of the device's screen resolution to its size. The higher the resolution, the more clearly graphic and text images will be displayed. Also an important factor in ergonomic work is the type of display (TFT, LCD, PLS and others).

But it should be taken into account that the high characteristics of the tablet also contribute to high energy costs, which reduces the battery life of the tablet.

Which tablet should you choose? Tablet performance

The choice of which tablet to buy is greatly influenced by the performance of the processor and memory card. Not only the speed of its operation, but also multitasking per unit of time depends on the frequency and number of processor cores. The minimum amount of memory used in basic devices is 512 or 768 MB. For more comfortable work with the tablet, a memory capacity of 1 GB or higher is relevant. The more internal memory the tablet has, the better its performance will be. Also, many devices have support for additional memory cards up to 64 GB.

How to choose a tablet? Battery and operating time

For simple operations with a tablet, such as reading an e-book or listening to music, a battery capacity of 1000 mA will be quite relevant. But to watch videos or games, the tablet’s battery life will require a capacity of 2000 mA. Therefore, when thinking about which tablet to choose, consider your future work needs.

Which tablet should I buy? Tablet Specifications

Audio and video players, cameras, radios, touch controls, the ability to connect external interfaces, a wide selection of accessories and other characteristics of tablets can be found from sellers or on the branded packaging. How to choose a tablet based on the available characteristics will have to be decided independently, depending on your needs.

Which tablet is better? Choosing a manufacturer

The rightful leaders in the market are Samsung tablets (Samsung tablet), Asus tablet(Asus tablet), Apple tablet, Acer tablet and Texet tablet. Also, the review of tablets showed the average popularity of devices such as Lenovo tablet (Lenovo tablet), Huawei tablet, Sony tablet and Xperia tablet.

Where to buy a tablet? Chinese tablets or branded stores

Many people are wondering where to buy a tablet: in a company store or at a lower cost through Chinese sites? The answer is simple. If a tablet is needed for work for six months, then Chinese sites fully satisfy such requirements. For long-term operation with a guarantee for the operation of the device and high-quality service, you should opt for branded stores.

Which tablet to choose in the end is up to you. A modern market Technicians has taken care of a wide range of devices, both in terms of characteristics and design.

Functions of tablet computers (iPad and the like). Functions of a tablet computer

What features does the tablet have?

Considering the rapid development of technology, as well as the huge selection of tablets on the Russian market, the question arises, what functions does the tablet perform? I would like to immediately note that there are so many different models of tablets that it is sometimes very difficult to make a choice specific device.

Each manufacturer tries to get ahead of its competitors by developing and implementing all sorts of “chips” into the device that expand the capabilities of the tablet. Of course, there are tablet PCs that have a narrow specialization, for example, a graphics tablet. However, it is worth noting that this does not mean that such a tablet is not capable of performing tasks not related to processing photos and video files. This suggests that this device will cope with these tasks faster than a regular tablet, providing the user with a more convenient interface.

At the same time, the device is quite capable of performing all other functions. In general, to understand what functions a tablet has, you should understand what it is and why it is needed.

1. What is a tablet

Essentially, a tablet is a mini computer. Accordingly, it is capable of performing the same tasks as a personal computer. Main feature The tablet has a touch screen that takes up most of the device. At the same time, all applications, web browsers and programs are fully optimized, which makes work much more convenient and efficient.

Of course, tasks such as typing or working with spreadsheets are much more convenient to perform using regular computer and keyboards, but there are other tasks that are better done with a tablet.

Modern stores are filled with a wide variety of tablets. In Russia you can easily find a tablet with a TV function. In addition, tablets with cell phone functions and many other models are very common. Regardless of their name or specialization, they are capable of performing any task. The difference between specialized tablets is that they initially have installed applications that allow you to perform certain tasks.

2. So, what functions does the tablet have?

Modern tablets and their functions depend only on your imagination and access to the Internet. As mentioned earlier, a tablet is essentially the same computer, only in a compact “package”. This means that it is capable of performing a wide variety of tasks. To do this, you just need to install the required software - the so-called application. If we talk about the hardware, modern tablets have quite powerful processors and video cards, which allows them to perform any tasks, on par with personal computers.

3. Tablet its functions and capabilities

You already know that there are also specialized tablets. Let's take a closer look at their functions and capabilities.

First of all, it is worth considering tablets with 3G function. This is a regular tablet that has a built-in 3G modem. However, this does not mean that you can make calls using such a device. In most cases, a 3G modem is used to access the mobile Internet. Despite the fact that today we can already observe the active implementation of new generation 4G networks, third generation communications will remain relevant for quite a long time and occupy a leading position. Although, of course, it is better to be prepared for anything and purchase a tablet with a 4G/3G modem.

3.1. Tablets with cell phone function

Of course, there are models that allow you to make calls to other subscribers. As a rule, they have a small display diagonal for greater convenience. The advantage of such tablets is that they eliminate the need to carry your phone with you.

Don't be upset if your tablet doesn't have this capability, because you can make calls over the Internet. To do this, you just need to install a program, for example, Skype, and have a constant Internet connection. 3G speed is quite enough for voice calls. The only caveat is that the subscriber you are going to call must also be connected to the Internet and also have installed program. However, there are also advantages - calls are completely free all over the world. In this case, the program can be installed on a laptop, computer, smartphone or tablet.

3.2. Tablet with e-reader function

Many people like to read on the road, on vacation, or just at home before bed. In the latter case, of course, you can buy an ordinary book, but in the rest, constantly carrying books with you is inconvenient, impractical and, finally, simply difficult. This problem was solved by the tablet. The e-reader function on your tablet saves you from such inconveniences and also allows you to create personal libraries for every taste. It is worth noting that downloading a book is much easier than finding it in a store and buying it. In addition, you can download literature absolutely free.

Don't think that a tablet with an e-reader function is not capable of performing other tasks. It's the same device. The only difference is that it initially includes an application that allows you to read books with maximum comfort. In addition, they are natively capable of supporting all existing e-book formats.

3.3. LTE function in the tablet

LTE is a new generation of communications that is being actively implemented into existing networks. We have already talked about 4G communications. LTE is one of the standards for this communication. Moreover, it is the most common and promising.

Thus, the LTE function in the tablet opens up new possibilities for users. High speed internet, new operator services, higher quality communications and so on. In addition, as a rule, such tablets work quite successfully in networks of previous generations.

However, when choosing a tablet with LTE function, you should carefully study the technical specifications, since each country has its own frequency range to build of this type communications. For example, iPad 3 has an LTE module, but it is not capable of working in Russian networks, since it operates at a different frequency.

3.4. Tablet with TV function

Like any other specialized tablet, this model has one difference from other models, which is that it has built-in programs that allow you to watch TV programs. In some models, these capabilities are implemented via an Internet connection, and in some there is a built-in TV tuner. In the latter case, to watch TV programs you just need to configure the channels. However, the presence of the Internet is not at all necessary.

In addition, such tablets allow you to view programs with greater comfort and have more flexible video image settings.

3.5. What functions does a tablet computer perform?

Very often, when talking about a tablet computer, people understand this term as an ordinary tablet. This is a little wrong. A tablet PC and a tablet have some differences. In fact, both of these devices are mobile and compact, and also perform almost the same functions. However, the difference between them lies in speed and additional features.

A tablet PC has the most powerful “stuffing” (processor, video card, as well as RAM, and so on). Thanks to this, such tablets are able to perform the most complex tasks as quickly as possible. Typically, a tablet PC has more connectors for connection additional equipment and a more capacious battery.

Of course, it is not superior in functionality to conventional tablets, but it performs tasks much faster.

3.6. Tablet with navigator function

Of course, you can install the navigator on a regular tablet with GPS, but, as a rule, such programs are paid or extremely difficult to find. A tablet with a navigator function eliminates the need for the user to search for and purchase navigation programs.

It is worth considering that the tablet is quite large, which is why such a device should not be mounted on the windshield, as it will limit your view. A more suitable location should be identified, with easy and quick access.

Don't be upset if your tablet doesn't have a GPS module. You can use maps and navigation using an Internet connection, and 3G speed is more than enough for this.

4. Tablet - why is it needed: Video

5. What other functions should a tablet have?

As mentioned earlier, a tablet is a mini computer that is capable of performing any tasks available to a regular PC. Therefore, what functions the tablet has depends only on you. To solve certain problems, you only need to install the appropriate program.

Of course, a tablet cannot fully replace a computer, because on a stationary PC it is much more convenient to work, for example, with texts or tables. However, there are a number of functions and tasks that are much more convenient to perform using a tablet. In addition, you can take the tablet with you on trips and business trips.

A modern tablet and its functions allow you to perform almost any task. Moreover, tablets have a range of entertainment features. Games, movies, music - all this will allow you to have fun while traveling or on vacation. And if necessary, at any time you have the opportunity to go online and check your email or contact business partners, colleagues or subordinates.

Weight additional functions allow you to record future plans, with a reminder at the right time. Thanks to all its capabilities, the tablet has become an indispensable assistant in the daily life of almost every person.

What can you do on your tablet?

Modern world It’s hard to imagine without the Internet and computers. Every day, millions of users go online, communicate, exchange information, and every year new computer models appear in all their diversity. We are interested in the tablet, but let's first figure out what exactly we mean, and only then we will tell you what you can do on the tablet.

The very tablet that we see on the counter is a type of tablet computer and is correctly called an Internet tablet. It looks like an enlarged smartphone, in fact, this is its main difference. Tablets tend to be more powerful than their smaller cousins, but that doesn't have to be the case. You need to understand that all the capabilities listed below are the same capabilities of a smartphone, but, for various reasons, using a tablet in some cases is much more convenient and productive.

Internet

The main purpose of an Internet tablet, oddly enough, is surfing the Internet, communicating on social networks and instant messengers. All tablets can connect to the Internet via a 3G/4G network or Wi-Fi. This is where the main advantage of small portable devices from desktop PCs or bulky laptops - mobility. A tablet allows you to access the Internet anywhere and anytime: outdoors, in a car, on a train or on an airplane. Even at home, it is much more convenient to lie down on the sofa with a light device than to sit at the computer.

Regarding regular surfing, everything is clear - navigation and control occurs as on a regular smartphone, but a larger screen provides more opportunities for “maneuvering” and, undoubtedly, a more comfortable pastime. You no longer need to enlarge photos to see your friend’s face, everything is clearly visible. Relatively social networks and messengers, everything again depends on the screen size. It is much more convenient to press large buttons, read incoming messages, and make video calls on the big screen.

Reading books

Many people believe that you can only read books from a paper original or a special e-book. Yes, indeed, in most cases, a specialized device provides a clearer picture and does not put much strain on the eye, but tablets in this sector also have their advantages. Firstly, an e-reader is another gadget that will take up space in your bag; a tablet in this sense is a universal thing and can be used for many purposes. Secondly, the tablet can convey color, which electronic black and white books cannot do.

All the owner of a tablet needs is to go online and download a program for reading books in various formats, and, in fact, the book itself. Most books are distributed free of charge, but there are also plenty of paid ones; you can find them in Play Market(for Android gadget owners) and App Store (for Apple).

Reading video and audio files

The availability of films and various videos allows you to pass a huge amount of time. In this regard, the tablet can be considered the golden mean - it is large enough to comfortably watch a movie on it, and small enough to take it with you. A long trip to another city or a long line at the hospital no longer seems so boring. Many take this opportunity to keep a naughty child occupied.

Games

What else do you need a tablet for if not for games? Many people buy a tablet just because of them. Hardware capacity is growing every year, games are being ported from desktop PCs to mobile devices, and ardent gamers cannot miss the extra opportunity to play their favorite game on the way to school or work.

The Play Market and App Store present millions of gaming applications for every taste and color; the user can choose something special for himself by sorting the games by genre.

Job

Last but not least, Internet tablets are used for work. Sales representatives no longer need to carry piles of promotional materials with them, and office workers no longer need to draw graphs on a whiteboard. Showing everything you need on a tablet is an ideal option. There are a huge number of office programs for Android and iOS, which are quite convenient to work with. The user can easily write a short text, edit an image or video, draw a graph or fill out a table. Naturally, work in office programs It goes much faster if you use a mouse and keyboard; in this aspect, the tablet is inferior to laptops and PCs.

The tablet is able to connect to cloud storage, which can be an indispensable feature when traveling. The design of the interface of mobile operating systems implies easy-to-manage case management and maintaining statistics on assigned and completed tasks.

Navigation

Lost in the city? No problem, the tablet will help you get to the metro station or cafe. For some reason, many people forget about this method and simply look for the right place on the map. A large number of drivers, including taxi drivers, very often use a tablet as a navigator.

Creation

What else can you do with a tablet? Developers mobile applications They did a great job for creative people, creating a huge number of programs for musicians, artists and even sculptors.

Having installed the desired program, you can play and keep a fresh tune even when you're on the go. If the tablet supports a stylus or a virtual pencil, you are able to sketch a sketch. Naturally, for professional work This method will not work, but to make a small note when you need to quickly capture a thought - a tablet is irreplaceable.

Sport

For people looking after their body, there are also a huge number of applications that can help you exercise effectively and eat right. Some applications perform individual functions, for example, counting calories or distance traveled per day, while others provide a whole range of capabilities. In any case, extra control helps a person achieve his goal and motivates him to practice.

Conclusion

All capabilities of the tablet are limited by the operating system. The majority of the market is occupied by Android and IOS, so all the functions described apply to them. If you want to have the functionality full-fledged computer, you can install Windows on your tablet. This means that you can install the same programs and operate the system in the same way as on your computer. If necessary, you can connect a keyboard and mouse, turning your device into almost a laptop.

Notes from System AdministratorFunctions of tablet computers (iPad and the like)

A tablet computer is a widely used device. It is a computer with a touch screen. There are tablets with docking stations, ultramobile PCs, and just tablet PCs. Any type of this device is multifunctional.

Multi-touch opens up enormous possibilities for games, and moreover, if necessary, allows several users to simultaneously work synchronously on one device. An equally important function is connecting to the Internet. Each tablet has a built-in module that guarantees wireless Internet WiFi, of course, if you forgot to take such a thing as an iPad charger with you, then with a wireless connection you can quickly drain the battery and wait for the Internet, as they say, until you get home. If there is no WiFi, then it is most likely not a tablet, but a simple e-reader (although they already have “Waffle”).

Another important Internet interface, which is not present in all models, is the 3G module. Using it, you can connect to the mobile Internet when it is impossible to connect to the regular Internet. In this case, you need to buy a SIM card from any cellular operator, select the appropriate tariff, from those that are offered specifically for tablet computers and in places where the cellular communication, the user will be able to use the Internet. Among the additional functions that tablets may have, it is worth noting the GSM function, which allows you to write SMS and receive and make calls. Thanks to this, the computer can be used like a cell phone.

Today this module is not found in all models. Another Bluetooth function allows you to connect various wireless devices, including wireless headsets. GPS helps determine the user's coordinates, location, and speed. USB is used to connect a keyboard, printer, mouse, player, external hard drive, flash drive, phone, and so on. The HDMI function is needed to display Full HD high-definition images from a tablet computer to a screen, such as a TV. This will allow you to watch HD movies in excellent quality. Thus, thanks to its many functions, the tablet becomes a real assistant. These devices are the future and, most likely, in the near future, they will become even more accessible and will gradually replace laptops and netbooks.

Tablet PC Features Overview

The idea of ​​a compact computer with a touch screen, which could be controlled without a mouse and keyboard, has been exciting people's minds for a long time. The first attempts to create such a product were made back in the late 90s, but none of the projects could gain any significant popularity. The reason for this was technical imperfection and the completely exorbitant prices of tablets of that time.

And suddenly such a boom! Why suddenly now and why so suddenly? In order to understand the phenomenon of the wild popularity of tablets, let's first take a closer look at the tablet computer itself - what it is and why.

Text: Andrey SAMKOV.

Let's start with the fact that often the same term “tablet computer” or simply “tablet” refers to slightly different devices. Often when we say “tablet” we mean:

Unfortunately, what they came up with was of little use for practical application: using such tablets “on the run” was not particularly convenient, since in size and weight they differed little from laptops of that time (suffice it to say that the weight of a tablet in the 90s was about 3 kg).

This is understandable, because the developers tried to create just the same laptop, but with a different control system. Additional problem the computing power of the computers of that time was small, and the control system was touch screen requires much more calculations than a banal keyboard.

Therefore, control using such a “dumb” touch screen was, to put it mildly, inconvenient. In general, this class of technology quickly disappointed both consumers and developers.

The developers quickly realized that if a complex and expensive tablet still turns into a laptop, then why not do the opposite? Give a “regular” laptop a touch screen and a rotating hinge.

So, without any extra hassle, you can get a hybrid that combines the features of both classes of technology: the user can choose control using a touch screen and a classic keyboard. Such devices took their share of the market, but, naturally, they did not become a sensation.

With the advent of a special compact variety of laptops on the market, called “netbooks,” the developers repeated their trick with a rotating screen.

The convertible netbook appeared, but made even less impression on users than the convertible laptop. The fact is that Internet tablets are looming on the horizon. But more about them a little later.

Another class of mobile computers that paved the way for the emergence of Internet tablets are ultra-mobile computers (UMPCs).

Their roots go back to the Origami PC project, organized by such well-known companies as Intel, Microsoft, Sony, Samsung and some others.

The goal of the project was to develop a computer specification with the characteristics of a netbook and at the same time small enough to be carried in a pocket.

The project was a partial success in the sense that the specifications were created, mass models were even developed on their basis (in Russia, the Samsung Q1 is probably the most famous), but they did not really gain widespread popularity, remaining a “toy” for enthusiasts.

Go to the Internet with one touch!

And finally, Internet tablets. It is these devices that have become the most widespread type of tablet computers, rapidly conquering the minds of people all over the world. It is the Internet tablet that is most often meant when simply saying “tablet”.

So what is the internet tablet phenomenon? Most likely, the demand for such products has matured naturally; it is not for nothing that netbooks were so popular immediately before the mass appearance of Internet tablets. But these are essentially computers of the same class, differing in the control system.

Naturally, the increase in the popularity of tablets was facilitated by the growth of their consumer qualities: the capabilities of computing technology have increased significantly, making it possible to build more compact and convenient portable computers.

On the other hand, marketing should not be dismissed out of hand: Apple is famous for independently creating entire market segments.

So on the Internet tablet market, everything was quite quiet and calm; for several years there were products from other companies, for example, Nokia tablets of the n700 and n800 series were relatively popular.

But it was the release Apple tablet The iPad literally blew up the markets; on the wave of popularity, interest in tablets as a “new” class of computer equipment began to grow like an avalanche.

Tablets from the present

The current tablet market is experiencing an avalanche-like growth, and therefore the variety of different variations of devices dazzles the eyes. Let's try to restore relative order.

Screen

The first thing a person encounters with a tablet pays attention to is its screen, which occupies almost the entire front panel of the device. Based on screen characteristics, tablets can be divided into two groups:

Compact tablets with screens from 4 to 7 inches. These tablets are very convenient to carry due to their modest size; often these tablets have advanced mobile phone functions, and therefore such tablets usually act in this capacity. Typical representatives of this type of tablet are Nokia n770, Archos 7 and Samsung Galaxy Tab.

Tablets with a screen of 7-10 inches. This is the most common and popular screen size. Of course, you can no longer carry such a tablet in your pocket, but watching videos or reading from such a screen is much more pleasant. Exactly 10.1 inches diagonal of the Apple iPad. This also includes Motorola XOOM, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, and ODEON TPC-10.

The appearance of tablets with a screen larger than 10 inches is, in principle, possible, but unlikely: such a tablet will become too bulky, calling it a mobile device will become difficult, and this, after all, is one of the advantages of Internet tablets.

operating system

Another thing that a tablet user constantly has to deal with is the operating system. It is this that provides the human interface and the internal functionality of the tablet.

In addition, the operating system determines the set of software with which this tablet will work. Most tablets run various versions of mobile operating systems originally developed for smartphones:

Since the most popular tablet in the world is the iPad, one of the most common software platforms is iOS, originally developed by Apple for iPhone smartphones and iPod players.

The operating system is rapidly gaining weight in the tablet market Google Android, namely its version for Android 3 tablets (and its modification 3.1).

Google's operating system is free (when used, tablet manufacturers do not have to pay royalties to Google) and is easily portable from one hardware platform to another, so it is not surprising that many tablet and smartphone manufacturers use it.

Since many manufacturers make tablets based on this operating system (the most significant of them are Samsung, Sony Ericsson, and until recently Motorola), it is quite natural that today Android is the most popular OS in this market in the world.

Samsung Galaxy Tab is built on Android, Sony Tablet S, Motorola XOOM, Archos 7 and 9 and many others.

Tablets based on the MS Windows 7 operating system stand somewhat apart. Moreover, as a rule, this is desktop Windows, and not Windows Phone.

In principle, this can be understood: desktop Windows is installed on tablets so that the user receives mobile computer familiar working environment, this is perhaps the main (and almost the only) argument in favor of Windows 7 on a tablet.

Due to the fact that Windows Phone is not widespread and continues to lose popularity, according to the analytical company Comscore, the share of WP7 has decreased by 38% since the launch of this system last fall. If at that time it owned about 8% of the US market, now it owns only 5.8%.

Most manufacturers do not want to connect their devices to an outsider, and even quite an expensive one, when there is a free alternative in the form of the rapidly ascending Android.

One of the representatives of the class of tablets based on Windows 7 is already described in the magazine Consumer.Video&Audio ODEON TPC-10, as well as new model ODEON, which should enter the Russian market in early 2012.

If we continue to compare operating systems in the context of Internet tablets, we discover another big plus in favor of mobile operating systems: Apple and Google have created huge software distribution centers specifically for mobile users.

iPad (as well as iPhone) users have access to the App Store (as of October 2011, more than 500,000 programs are available for download, the total number of downloads exceeded 18 billion).

For owners of tablets and smartphones based on Android, there is the Android Market (as of July 2011, more than 250,000 programs are available, the total number of downloads exceeded 4.5 billion).

For Windows users Phone also has a Windows Marketplace store; unfortunately, there are no exact statistics on it, but it is clearly several times smaller than the App Store and Android Market.

However, desktop users Windows versions 7 are deprived of even this and are forced to search for the programs they need on their own.

CPU

Finally, let's not forget that a tablet is still a computer, which means its functionality directly depends on the computing power provided by its processor, as well as on its architectural features:

Of all the manufacturers of processors for Internet tablets, only Intel makes chips compatible with the usual IBM PC platform (x86-compatible).

Since Windows 7 can only run on this platform, therefore, all Windows tablets are based on Intel Atom. Currently, the most advanced representative of the Atom family is the Z670 processor. All other tablet microprocessors are based on ARM architecture.

IN iPad tablets The A5 (iPad2) and A4 (iPad) processor developed specifically for Apple are used.

The development is based on a dual ARM Cortex-A9 (A5) core or an ARM Cortex-A8 (A4) core. The A5 contains two main cores with a modified ARM Cortex A9 architecture running at 1 GHz, and a powerful PowerVR SGX 543MP2 graphics coprocessor, which is 9 times more powerful graphics core PowerVR SGX 535 (from A4), used in the previous Apple A4 processor.

Because A4/A5 architecture details by Apple are not disclosed, these processors are used anywhere other than the company's products, and only iOS is installed there, an objective comparison of these processors with competitors is difficult. What is known is that, according to Apple, new processor twice as powerful as A4.

Nvidia Tegra 2 is rising as a new star in the market of hardware platforms for mobile devices. According to the results of independent comparisons (in particular, at Computex 2011) when comparing two tablets built on the basis of Nvidia Tegra2 (Motorola XOOM) and Z670 (Inte Marco Polo 2), when running OS Android 3.1, the first one showed significantly better performance.

This is understandable: the ARM architecture was originally created for mobile applications, while Intel architecture x86 in the process of long evolution on desktop computers has acquired a large number of different additional sets teams and other “improvements”.

So now even the procedure of decoding commands before executing them becomes a non-trivial matter, especially in conditions of limited power supply (a powerful processor requires capacious and heavy batteries, as well as a powerful and equally heavy cooling system).

As you can see, the variety of modern tablets is quite impressive. Undoubtedly, everyone who wants to buy an Internet tablet will find a device “for themselves.” We hope that our article will help you make the right choice.

Tablet structure - how the “inner” world works

Today, such a convenient and multifunctional mobile device as a tablet will not surprise anyone. Everyone knows approximately what functionality this device has, what can be done with it, how long is the approximate time continuous operation... But few people looked inside. Let's try to eliminate this shortcoming and briefly consider the internal structure of the tablet.

Internal content

Opening the case, you can see that there are very few components inside. The main motherboard takes up about half of the case space, and the same amount is reserved for the battery. The entire plane in front is occupied by a thin screen plate. And that's all - other small parts like sockets and connectors are often located directly on the motherboard. Only the vibration motor stands separately. Let's take a closer look at how the tablet works.

Motherboard

The secret to the small size of the device is minimal conversion and low energy consumption. The motherboard of a regular computer carries many voltage matching and conversion circuits; there are even blocks responsible for these processes. The tablet's design, on the other hand, is the result of a maximum compatibility approach.

CPU

The small chip in the center of the printed circuit board is the computer center. The size of a bridge controller for a “large” computer, this small chip is not equipped with a heatsink, much less a fan. It produces very little heat. But at the same time, it is a multi-core computing structure capable of performing hundreds of thousands of operations per second and more.

Around the processor personal computer- dozens of capacitors and power control circuits. Next to the tablet processor there is only one block - the master oscillator. Even compared to a small processor chip, it looks tiny and unnoticeable.

Read Only Memory

The place where the operating system is “flashed” and user data is stored. This is just one rewritable flash memory chip. Depending on the tablet model, it may have a different volume.

RAM

Memory block for intermediate data and calculations. Typically this is a pair of chips even smaller than ROM. Programs and services of the operating system work with the amount of this memory during the operation of the tablet. Intermediate processing of data received from cameras or microphones is also carried out here.

Wireless modules

Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are usually located at the very edge of the motherboard, most often in the corner. This is caused by the need for an additional antenna and a buffer power supply. The antenna is a strip of plastic coated with copper. A small 3.3 V battery acts as a power buffer.

Power management

The unit that really works hard is the power distribution center. The functions of this module include voltage conversion, monitoring the battery charge level, as well as voltage parameters coming “from the outside” - from a charger, a connected computer or an external device. The functioning of all external ports and cameras depends on the correct operation of this module. This block is built on a single chip. No wonder it often breaks down.

Touchscreen processing system

The screen, or more precisely, the working complex of the matrix is ​​connected to its controller using a rather thin cable. It transmits all the data from the capacitive layer sensors about the movements of the user’s fingers. The task of the touchscreen controller is to process and convert the received signals into digital format. This data, in turn, is processed by the operating system and converted into visual reactions visible to the user, as well as corresponding actions.

These were devices and blocks that are located on the motherboard.

Tablet screen device

Structurally, the display consists of several layers. Today there are practically no screens with resistive technology, so we will not consider them.

Capacitive screens A simple principle is used to detect touch. The sensitive element is, roughly speaking, a grid of two layers of perpendicularly located conductors. They are very thin, and the mesh is so fine that it is not perceived by the eye. When voltage is applied to the conductors, the touchscreen controller records the level of the resulting field. The user raises his finger. It is also conductive, so it changes the field of the conductors. By changing two signals - from different layers of the grid - the controller determines at what coordinates the touch occurred.

Another layer forms the image. There are several technologies based on different crystal orientations. For example, the IPS matrix when turned off is black and opaque. When voltage is applied, the crystals rotate, allowing light to pass through. Depending on the angle by which a cell of one of the three composite colors is “rotated,” a dot of the desired color is formed.

A matrix like TN-Film, roughly speaking, “twists the crystals in the other direction.” When turned off, it is transparent.

The bottom layer is the backlight. Without going into detail, this is a panel that glows at different levels depending on the voltage applied. This is where her work ends.

And the main layer, which you constantly run your fingers over, is protective. Due to the fact that the capacitive sensor does not require deformation to detect a touch, today we can find all kinds of designs - plastic film, plate, even a layer of tempered or sapphire glass.

Battery

If you describe the internal structure and operating principle of a lithium-polymer source, you can write a scientific article. The tablet battery design is complex; it necessarily includes a unit of energy cells and status monitoring. Data comes from the monitoring unit to the motherboard.

The control module can prohibit the operation of the battery if its charge drops below the technically permissible limit. The battery can be “started” from a more powerful power source, but the tablet will burn out if you try. Therefore, the motherboard power control and the battery status monitoring unit work in tandem to prevent emergency modes.

Why are tablets different?

One might ask: why are the designs so different if everything is the same inside? Some tablets have all the connectors on one side, while others have them evenly distributed. Somewhere there are cameras in the center, somewhere below or in the corner.

The answer is simple. It all depends on the developer and assemblers. Easier to set up production line, where the machine will assemble the motherboard with all the ports and connectors. The assembler will need to install the display, snap on the board, battery and connect everything with cables. And it turns out - ports and buttons are a bunch, but cheap.

You can make separate boards for the connectors, provide space for them, and move the cameras to separate locations. In short, hire qualified and careful staff. But you will get a convenient device with well-thought-out ergonomics.

So the main thing in a tablet is not only the filling, but also the level of qualification of the assemblers and the diligence of the developers.

Tablet functions - Let's talk about tablets

Internet tablets are gaining popularity every day. This symbiosis of a phone and a netbook has entered our lives well because of its convenient capabilities.

What can a web tablet offer us? Let's look at the main functions of the tablet?

Using a tablet for the Internet.

Of course, this is the main function of the tablet - access to the Internet. What exactly is done in the tablet for convenient use on the Internet?

Touch screen. On the one hand, it can be not very convenient to move your fingers across the screen, somewhat blocking the view, but on the other hand, with one movement of your hand, you can interact with the site, you can even say “feel” it.

Built-in Wi-fi modules, 3G. All tablets have wi-fi, which allows you to connect to points and use fast internet. It cannot be said that 3G is a new product, but undoubtedly, over the past 3-4 years, the popularity of 3G has increased significantly. Almost all major mobile operators offer 3G Internet at good prices and with excellent speed. And, unlike wi-fi, 3G reaches almost everywhere, which undoubtedly gives it great potential.

Webcam. It is useful not only for looking like in a mirror. Client programs like Skype or FaceTime can use it to make video calls. Very convenient function By the way.

Using a tablet for reading.

Again, the screen size of the tablet makes it convenient for reading books or newspapers. The function of automatically rotating the screen in any direction will make reading even more convenient.

The tablet's operating system allows you to install various reading programs on it. Different programs offer different functions and different interface types.

Using a tablet to take notes.

The relatively small size of the tablet allows you to take it with you almost everywhere. You can make your own notes and attach photos, videos or music to them. You can install programs to easily create a to-do or shopping list and take it with you to the store, for example.

Using a tablet as a GPS navigator.

Many Internet tablets have a GPS module. If you install maps or navigation programs, you can track your location, speed, choose a convenient route, find the right buildings and streets, and much more.

Using a tablet for photos and videos.

The tablet combines the functions of a camera and a player. Of course, you can’t compare the quality of photos and videos from the tablet’s built-in camera with the quality of even the cheapest camera or video camera. But you don’t take a camera with you if you’re not sure it’ll be useful? The quality of the tablet's built-in camera will be quite sufficient for ordinary, everyday tasks.

Using your tablet for entertainment and music.

Having a fairly powerful tablet, you can install 3D games on it. There are many genres of games: racing, action, strategy, logic, children's, and so on.

The tablet is also convenient to use for music. Of course, if you don't need to run. Still, the size of the tablet will not always allow you to listen to music as conveniently as on a small player.

In general, tablets today have great potential for development and use. Processors and memory are becoming faster and more powerful, which makes the tablet smaller and more comfortable to use.

You can use a tablet for work, planning, and entertainment, one might even say relaxation.

A tablet computer is a compact device whose characteristics are similar to a regular netbook. But unlike the latter, the tablet does not have a keyboard - all commands are entered through the touch screen. Despite this, this portable gadget allows you to surf the Internet, read e-books, watch video files, listen to music, and spend time playing games. Next, we will look at the main features of a tablet computer, which have become the reason for its great popularity.

Unlike other mobile devices, the tablet has an increased amount of RAM and permanent memory, almost all the necessary connectors for communication with other devices, as well as a camera and audio support. These compact computers are equipped with Internet communication modules. Most of the processors used in them are made using multi-core technology. All of this hardware greatly enhances the capabilities of your tablet computer.

Each tablet runs on an operating system. For models from Apple and Android, online stores have been created where you can download different programs, expanding the capabilities of a laptop computer. Having installed special applications, it becomes possible to create and edit text documents, images. If the mobile device uses a Windows system, then the same programs that are designed for a regular PC with Windows OS are suitable for it. The main thing is that the tablet’s hardware can handle the installed application.

The hardware capabilities of the tablet computer allow you to store and view videos in HD quality. To listen to audio recordings, you can use the internal speaker or connect to mobile device speakers or headphones. The built-in camera in top models allows you to take photographs and record videos of very high quality. In addition to the main camera, tablet computers are equipped additional camera on the front panel, which is called the front panel. It is used to make video calls, for example via Skype.

The presence of a touch screen makes working with a tablet a complete pleasure. It replaces the keyboard and mouse. Such screens are incredibly convenient, so they can be seen on modern cameras, payment terminals, game consoles etc. The control is extremely simple - you just need to touch it with your finger or stylus and the computer will immediately respond as if you had pressed a button on the PC keyboard. Even a child can use such a screen, because the built-in interface with beautiful pictures interesting and understandable even for him.

Applying a function wireless transmission content expanded the capabilities of the tablet computer, allowing one touch to play any multimedia files on audio and video equipment that supports the data transfer standard. Just touch the icon on the touch screen, and the movie stored in memory can be watched on a large LCD TV. Thanks to its compactness, the tablet has become the ideal companion for a modern person on business trips and travel. If you carry a laptop with you, you still need to find a place to work on it. This problem is absent with the little assistant - you can use it even on the go, when you are riding while standing on public transport. The main thing is to lean your back against something so as not to fall.

Every year, the capabilities of a tablet computer increase due to improved hardware capabilities and the release of new applications.
