Reliable performance in a neat little package
Equipped with durable hardware and efficient operating systems, tablets make quick work of many business-related computing tasks. Tablets and tablet PCs are available with a wide variety of specifications, but most tablet models share common features that contribute to the device’s reliable performance.
Touchscreen technology
Most tablets are designed to be ready for touch input through their screens. These tablets often have capacitive touchscreens, which enable finger-driven touch input and can typically facilitate multi-touch gestures. Some tablet PC models also have touchscreens that are capable of handwriting recognition through the use of styluses.
Wireless connectivity
To complement their highly mobile nature, tablets are also designed to be WiFi-ready. This feature allows users to connect to wireless networks as needed and wherever possible. Bluetooth also enables the connection of tablet PCs and peripherals without the need for wired USB connections.
Expandable data storageDue to their compact size, tablets are often fitted with on-board flash memory. On-board flash memory on these gadgets tends to have a smaller capacity compared to notebooks, but you can easily expand a tablet’s storage capacity through removable storage devices. Tablets are usually equipped with ports for SD cards of varying capacities.
Highly efficient operating systems
Different tablet brands offer their own operating systems. Despite the diversity, these operating systems allow users to install their tablets with a multitude of specialized applications. Through these applications, professionals can use tablets for video-teleconferencing, email management, and Web browsing. Applications for creating documents and presentations are also available for download.
Long battery life
Tablets can be used off the plug for up to twelve hours, depending on usage. This makes out-of-office tablet use even more convenient.
