Read before purchasing a laptop to your new life!Why a tablet should be included in an option

Many of the new university students and new members of society have been considering purchasing a notebook PC to create reports at universities and respond to teleworks.

Of course, a notebook PC is a convenient product in functionality and operability, but depending on how it is used, a tablet may be more suitable.

So, let's introduce what kind of tablet is recommended for laptops and what kind of tablet product is recommended.

Check before purchasing a notebook PC!Maybe a tablet is more suitable?

There are multiple reasons for recommended tablets rather than laptops.Of course, depending on how you use the device, a laptop may be more suitable, so let's check while thinking about how you use it.

Is tablet better than laptops if you value portability?

The big difference between a tablet and a laptop is portable.In the case of laptops, lightweight models have appeared in recent years, but the limit is still around 1㎏.If it is a tablet, some products are less than 500g depending on the size.

If you attach a "type cover" to be connected to a tablet and used as a keyboard, it will be a little heavier, but it is still lighter than many notebook PCs.If you want to carry it frequently in your bag, a tablet will be more suitable.

If you use it as a sub -terminal, do you recommend a tablet?

If you can use a shared PC in the university or pay a dedicated PC at the company, it is also recommended to use a tablet as a sub -terminal.

This is because, as introduced earlier, in addition to many products with excellent portability, it has a characteristic that the screen can be operated with finger like a smartphone.In addition, dedicated touch pens are often sold, so it is convenient to be able to handwrite notes and diagrams.

Therefore, it is easy to check the reports and materials created on the PC during the gap time, but also change the position of the image.

I use a PC when I work at home or at work, but when I go outside for interviews, I carry a tablet, check materials and manuscripts, and make memos.

If you want to use it in private, a tablet is recommended!?

Tablets are best not only as report creation and business tools, but also for using videos at home and browsing e -books.

The keyboard is separated from the notebook PC, so it is also a point that you can operate in a free posture, such as lying down in bed.I often use tablets for watching soccer games.

Introducing recommended tablet products for new university students and new members of society

Let's introduce some tablet products recommended for new university students and new members of society.When choosing a tablet, there are several points such as "price", "performance", and "size".

This is a tablet!"IPad Air (4th generation)" that can be recommended for everyone

The first thing I want to introduce is "iPad Air (4th generation)".There are rumors that the latest model of the upper model "iPad Pro" will soon be released at the time of writing (March 15, 2021), but iPad Air is sufficient for applications such as reporting and creating materials.Yes.

The screen size is 10.9 inches, lightweight with 458g (Wi-Fi model).Like the iPhone 12 series, the latest "A14 Bionic" chipset is built -in, so the processing performance is also high.

It also features high compatibility with Apple products such as iPhone, such as being able to share photos and files immediately using AirDrop.It will also be useful for recording the presentation in class and the contents of the meeting on the iPhone, and the data is immediately transferred to the iPad Air and edited it.

In the case of a Wi-Fi model, the storage 64GB model can be purchased for 69,080 yen and the 256GB model can be purchased for 87,780 yen.In the case of a Wi-Fi+Cellular model that can insert a SIM card to perform data communication, the storage 64GB model is 85,5580 yen, and the 256GB model is 104,280 yen.

A versatile device that can be used as a tablet or as a PC [Surface Go 2]

It is an intermediate position between a tablet and a laptop, but 10."Surface Go 2", which is 5 inches and 544g of mass, is also a recommended product.Since it is equipped with a Windows OS, it is also recommended to operate it as a sub -terminal synchronized with the main Windows PC.

Memory can be selected at 4GB or 8GB, and you can also purchase a model that can insert a SIM card to perform data communication.Both price and performance are specifications of middle range, but this is also a product that can be used enough if the application is decided.

The selling price varies depending on the CPU, memory, and storage configuration, but the lowest configuration of 4GB/storage 64GB is 65,780 yen.

No problem even if you can't use the Google app![Huawei MatePad Pro]

Lastly, "Huawei MatePad Pro" is introduced.About 10.Equipped with a 8 -inch display, the screen occupancy rate is about 90 %, and the edge of the screen is designed with a narrow design, so you can enjoy powerful images.

Speaking of HUAWEI, some people may be able to install Google apps in recent years while selling high -cost smartphones.This product is the same, but it is not a problem with the operation as a tablet.

Because services such as Google Drive and Google Document can log in via a browser.You can operate like a PC, so you won't feel inconvenient to use it.

The tip set is an outstanding operability because the "Huawei Kirin 990" is used for high -end.Since it can be purchased for 65,780 yen, it is a product that I would recommend to those who are looking for a good cospa tablet.
