Tablets are typically larger than smart phones or personal digital assistants at 7 inches (18 cm) or larger, measured diagonally

Reasons why tablets thrive while PCs dive

Lower cost, lighter weight and greater ease of use are big draws to tablets

As the PC desktop and laptop market slumps and the tablet market grows, it might seem obvious to tablet users why that's so. However, details shared by analysts dramatically highlight three reasons behind robust tablet growth.



Tablets are a powerful tool for enhancing your productivity and online experience whether for business use, or life in general.

Smaller than a laptop and bigger than a Smartphone, the tablet is perfect to take with you on the go. You can browse the internet, create and share presentations, videos conference with clients, stay connected with corporate email, download books, games and videos, watch movies, share photos and much more with your tablet.



1. First, tablets, on average, cost less than laptops or desktops -- about 60% as much.

2. Second, tablets are lighter and smaller, on average, and, therefore, more mobile, than laptops. Tablets with screen sizes that are less than 8 inches will make up 55% of the market in 2013,

3.Third, tablets function differently from laptops and desktops and are regarded as easier to use. They have instant-on capabilities, longer battery life and touchscreens that users, so far, don't seem to want on desktops or laptops.



Why a tablet?

In today’s high tech and high demand world the tablet offers a wide variety of versatile and effective tools to use with about any of today’s demands.

In layman’s words, it works better than your old desktop, and you can take this one home to do your work.

Isn’t this a sweet deal or what?



That is really all there is to know about a tablet that makes it so different than a desktop or normal laptop.
