Choosing a Tablet to Fit Your Needs
The first step to find a tablet that will suit your needs is to figure out how you plan to use it. Is it going to be a work device? Perhaps it's going to be for general home use, for online gaming, or a way to keep the kids entertained. Once you have figured out how you will use the tablet, it's time to look at the various sizes and different features to see which will benefit you the most.
Which Features Should You Consider When Looking at Tablets?
- Memory - Supersonic tablets average between 8 GB and 16 GB of built-in storage. However, if that isn't enough, a memory card slot is available for you to add more GB memory to your device.
- Display - Tablets that feature an HD 1920 by 1080 resolution, touchscreen display makes surfing the web and watching movies more enjoyable.
- Connectivity - Connect to the Internet via Wi-Fi. Charge your unit with a USB cable.
- Mini USB - The USB connection is a mini USB cable.
- Mini HDMI - Later models include a mini HDMI connection option.
- Battery life - The amount of time you can use your device between charges varies depending on what you are doing and the brightness setting you are using. On average, you will get between 8 and 15 hours per full charge.
- Operating System - Supersonic uses an Android OS on its tablets. The version depends on which model of tablet you own.
What Size Tablet Should You Get?
- 7-inch - Larger than a smartphone, but still small enough to fit into your pocket. It's often labeled as a "kid's tablet" because it fits little hands.
- 9-inch - Depending on the model, you might have an option to get a 9-inch device. Later models come as 10-inch, but some of the earlier ones are 9 inches.
- 10-inch - A 10-inch screen size is an average size for tablets. It's big enough to decrease eye strain yet small enough to fit into your backpack or purse without taking up much space or adding much weight.
Which Accessories Work with a Tablet?
- Case - Just like you protect your phone with a phone case, it's essential to use a tablet case. Not only are you preventing it from breaking if you drop it, but you are also keeping it from becoming scratched or dinged when you put it on a table or carry it in your bag.
- Keyboard - Another accessory that works with a tablet is a keyboard. Often, you'll find a keyboard and case combo, but there are also standalone keyboards that connect to the device with a magnetic joint.
- Stylus - Those not wanting to use their finger to type or write on the screen can opt for a stylus.
