The Different Kinds Of Computer Tablet Sizes
Tablet manufacturers are employing several strategies in an attempt to boost their market share. One such strategy is the parallel marketing of several different tablet models in a variety of sizes. It's a tactic they hope will give them the edge in an increasingly competitive market.
Consumers is now faced with unprecedented choice when it comes to buying a tablet, with manufacturers vying to appeal to potential customers by releasing a wide variety of models in different sizes. Manufacturers recognize that there are as many "ideal" tablet sizes as there are consumers, and this has led to an explosion of different options on the market.
The three most popular tablet sizes are the 5-inch, 7-inch and 10-inch. The old adage "size isn't everything" doesn't apply when it comes to tablets, however. The difference between a 7-inch and 10-inch tablet, for example, may seem negligible, but it's actually quite significant.
Bear in mind that screen sizes are normally measured diagonally. This means that in reality, a 10-inch tablet will be almost twice as big as its 7-inch counterpart. Indeed, each extra inch will make a major difference in terms of screen real estate.
Of course, each size has its advantages and disadvantages. A 10-inch tablet, for example, will be less compact and therefore less portable than a smaller version. On the other hand, its bigger size has several advantages; the higher resolution and bigger screen makes web browsing more convenient. It is also superior in terms of document creation and sharing, legibility, bigger keyboard, and of course gaming.
The next size down, the 7-inch display tablet, offers many of the larger screen advantages. Watching videos, gaming, photo sharing, etc. will be easy enough but this tablet offers the advantage of being half the size of the 10-inch tablet.
If a consumer needs document viewing capability without resizing or needs greater ease for navigation on the web, the 7-inch would not be the best choice even with the lighter portability. Also, if the consumer needs a tablet that can be placed in their pocket for portability, this display would be too large.
Of course the biggest advantage to buying a tablet that is five inches or less is that it will be very portable. You can put your personal computer in your back pocket in essence! Naturally you'll be zooming in often but it will be larger than a smart phone and will have many more capabilities and functions to make use of.
