It should be understood that the tablet is not a laptop replacement. Tablet is very fitting used to surf the internet, replying to e-mails, or doing simple tasks. However, it is not replacing the laptop, including those based Windows 8 as Microsoft's Surface. In fact, if your tablet has a USB port, not a driver causes a limited selection of peripherals are not compatible.

Keyboards, flash drives, or the mouse is okay. However, the tablet may not work with HSDPA or DVD writer. If you intend to perform tasks out of town or overseas, you should bring a laptop or netbook.

Select the appropriate size screen

The device is the smallest of the tablet category with 5-inch Dell Streak. Additionally, you can choose a 7 inch, 8.9 inch, 9.7 inch, to 10.1 inches. Compromise between portability and screen size is an individual choice.

 Storage Capacity

Some tablet provides a slot to add external memory, if the capacity of the internal memory does not match the needs of the user. Thus, the storage capacity can be upgraded as the user desires. But some do not provide it, such as the Apple iPad. When users buy the iPad with a capacity of 16 GB, so memory cannot be increased anymore.

 If this saves a lot of photos and video that requires large storage, choose a tablet that has an external memory slot. Option of external memory card up to 32 GB is usually still reliable. However, now some tablets even started offering the ability to read external storage media up to 2 TB.

 Camera Quality

Camera quality is another aspect to consider. Many users use a tablet for family photos, vacation photos, and many other things. If you hooked the photos, choose a tablet that has a decent quality camera and a large number of megapixels.

 Battery

The use of tablet PCs in general takes a lot of battery power. Consider the quality and quantity of battery prior to purchase. Choose the tablet that has long battery life.

Weights and Measures

Tablet weight is not less important. Tablets are heavier and tend to discourage the use of intrusive mobility. Similarly, the sizes because users might have trouble getting protective gloves or keep it in a briefcase. Choose tablet with a weight and size that can be tolerated.

You do not need to be confused when choosing between laptops, netbooks, ultrabook or tablet. You have to understand what your needs, so you can make the right decision. My advice, you can own both, laptops and tablets. We know the price of the laptop and the tablet is now available at affordable prices.

Ultra Portable: For those of you who are highly mobile, laptop-sized species is usually small and very thin and very lightweight, has a maximum 12-inch screen. The processor used is a power-efficient processor to be used as long as possible. Such as the Intel Atom, Intel ULV or AMD Neo and higher. Battery life for laptops of this type is very good, could reach more than 7 hours of operation without needing an electrical outlet. Of course, performance or capability computing is not a flagship feature of this type of laptop. Keep in mind, the laptop of this type are usually not equipped with an optical drive. Price range also varies from 3 million (Intel atom) up to tens of millions (Intel core 2 duo ULV)
