Powerful, portable and very convenient,
tablets are the new generation of computers. You will be astonished at what you
can do with it.
During the last year there’s has been an upsurge in
the use of portable computers; the old work horse desktop computer is granular
losing ground to the tablets and other portable computers. We are now moving
into the era of hand held, portable, and powerful touch screen computers. With
nearly 13 million bought in the UK alone in 2013, the majority over the
Christmas period. One large store chain in the UK are reported as saying they
were selling one every 15 seconds during the Christmas season.
It’s easy to see just why they have become so
popular. Easy to carry around some even will fit into your pocket, light and
easy to use, as powerful as laptops and desktop computers. They range in price
from as low as £30 pounds (approx $47USD) to around the £650 mark
($1027USD)(USD are approximation costs), tablets are within the reach of even
the smallest budget.
Tablets can be used for just about any task that
you would use a Laptop or Desktop.
Here’s just some that I can think of;
·
Buy, read and store hundreds of books on one easy to carry device.You
can even get some books FREE!
·
Catch up on TV shows you may have missed.
·
Box sets and blockbuster films are also available were ever you are.
·
Daily newspaper no problem you can even download that to your tablet.
·
Shopping online – easy!
·
Download your favourite music and sound tracks and listen on the go.
·
Talk face to face with your family and friends.
·
Play games - that is when you have a spare moment taking into account
all the things you will be doing with your new tablet.
·
Capture those special moments with the camera, edit them and store them
in one place.
·
Keep up to date no matter where you are with your e-mails and social
networks.
The list can go on forever, if you use a laptop or
desktop for your work you can even keep up with this on your tablet.
In short they are marvellous devices and you will begin
to wonder how you managed in the past without one.
Tablets are very easy to use and you do not need to
have any experience of computers before you get one, in fact your children will
be able to point you in the right direction, they are probable using them at
school.
If you new to tablets/computers, it can very hard
to know what to buy so over the next couple of posts we will try to make this a
little easier for you, so stay tuned.
However you will need an internet connection to
really enjoy your tablet. The quickest one to have is called “Broadband” which
you can usually get via your telephone provider, a word of caution before you
go rushing out and getting your present provider to get your internet
connection. Competition for your business among telephone, TV and broadband
providers is high, so as long as you are not signed into any contract I would
advise you to shop around for the best deal you can get. It is for this reason
I am not going to quote charges, just remember they want your business so it is
you who is in the driving seat.
If I can help I am only to happy to just leave a
comment and I will reply as soon as I am able.
