Q. I am a high school student. I need some sort of portable device to do my work. I can spend $500 at most $600 on this device. I'm stuck between buying a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 or a Laptop for around the same price ($500-$600). Can anyone give me advice, pros and cons of each, and/or which one will benefit me the most and why plz? All answers a really appreciated! Thanks in advance!!!
A. Tablets are capable of many
tasks that were previously only
possible with a laptop or PC. But
that doesnât necessarily mean
laptops are obsolete. There are still
limitations to what you can do with
a tablet. The obvious difference is that all
laptops have a physical keyboard.
Typing long documents is easier
and more comfortable on real keys,
rather than tapping away at a
screen for extended periods.
However, it's possible to buy
keyboards for tablets, too. You can
use a Bluetooth keyboards
such as the Asus Transformer have
an optional keyboard with a second
battery built in.
Tablets can't compete with laptops
on storage, though. Most laptops
have hard disks with capacities
around ten times larger than a
tablet's memory. With a tablet,
you'll have to be choosy about
which photos, videos, music and
documents you store locally. The
rest has to be stored online, or on
a PC or laptop.
Sometimes, tablets can be tripped
up by small things such as drop-
down boxes or other controls on
web pages which are fiddly to use
with a touch-sensitive display. In
general, some websites work better
on a laptop, such as personal
banking and online shopping, since
these sites make heavy use of
Javascript. If a website uses Flash,
a laptopâs browser wonât have any
problem displaying the content,
but youâll run into issues with an
iPad (see below). You may be
fortunate and find an app which
takes care of your banking or
shopping, but on other occasions
the only way to get something
done is to resort to a laptop.
Printing documents is easier on a
laptop too, as itâs closely tied to
the operating system and works
with a wider range of software.
Printing is still possible from a
tablet, but it isnât as easy or
versatile.
Of course, few laptops can match
the portability and long battery life
that most tablets offer. While a
laptop might be too bulky to take
on holiday, a tablet adds little
weight to your hand luggage, and is
ideal when the in-flight
entertainment isnât very good.
Ultimately, laptops and tablets are
complementary devices: it's not a
case of one or the other. Each has
its strengths and weaknesses and is
suitable for different tasks.
Manufacturers are certain to come
up with new ways to make data
even more device independent than
it currently is, with elaborate
docking stations for keyboards and
additional storage, and online
services that mean you never have
to consider which device youâll
need to carry with you. Itâs still
early days for tablets, and while
they havenât yet made laptops
redundant, this might not remain
true forever.
