In April 2010, Apple changed the game again. Swiftly after revolutionizing the mobile space with the iPhone, the innovative tech firm unleashed the iPad onto the world. With a bigger screen and much greater power than a smartphone, the pioneering tablet took the world by storm. However, in the 15 years since the first iPad, tablets have remained their own rather niche category.
Tablets are tablets, rather than pieces of hardware that have been able to overtake smartphones or laptops, for most people. If you have a tablet, you likely won’t use it as a replacement for either a smartphone or laptop, but rather a supplementary piece for certain kinds of work, or just something to turn to for a convenient, high-quality entertainment experience. Now, with the latest collection of premium tablets, perceptions might be about the change.
What You Want from a Premium Tablet
Given how far tablet technology has come, we should be able to expect an experience greater than that of smartphones, and with many of our prime laptop uses being viable. Some people found that tablets were viable replacements for smartphones over five years ago, and we have since seen many high-end accessories to enhance tablets for productivity released, such as a keyboard and mouse, enabling full use of utility apps.
It’s been said that distractions tend to be fewer without the presence of a smartphone when working. So, perhaps one of the subtle benefits of a tablet in lieu of a phone is that being a bit less convenient than smartphones when it comes to mobile functionality, tablets are devices more conducive to productivity as well as entertainment.
Of course, many people turn to tablets purely to get a better entertainment experience than they can on smartphones. On both kinds of devices, you can get apps like Netflix for watching movies, or a myriad of mobile games, but if you wished to download a bingo app and play all its games, for example, you’ll likely find the experience more rewarding on a bigger screen, allowing you the proper dexterity to swap between playing live bingo, partaking in rooms, and playing slots. The screen is bigger, the picture is clearer – it’s just a better experience overall.
Premium Tablets to Target for the Total Top-Tier Experience
Today, there’s a huge range of tablets out there. However, a couple of flagship brands and models headline each of the main operating systems. The Samsung Galaxy Tab tends to steal the spotlight on the Android side. For iOS tablets, Apple has expanded from the core iPad line to iPad Air and iPad Pro. Between the two variants, both versions have 11-inch and 13-inch tablets, but one line offers slight improvements in key areas. As shown by some comparisons done for the two tablet types, the iPad Pro 13’’ has a slightly better display resolution than the iPad Air 13’’. The brightness is also significantly higher, even getting into the realm of HDR, while the storage is doubled and the processor is better.
That’s just one example, but the key takeaway here is that you can easily have a tablet that’s viable for work and play in today’s tech-saturated market. These modern devices are powerful and large enough to cover all bases, while the sheer range of apps and supplementary accessories available on the market is sure to cover most needs of professionals and hobbyists alike.
