Personal computers is the next cutting edge gadget that has completely taken over the minds of many and how they carry out their daily activities.

With Tablet PC and Laptop on the front line, it is some worth difficult to choose exactly which one to use. Both are packed with amazing features, elegant design and portability to match.

Are you wondering which of these devices you would like to buy? Well wonder no more, this post outlines the main features and things to consider in this two devices. Make sure you read this post before you choose.



Cost Implication

The tablet PC is relatively new in the market thus the production is low making the price slightly higher than that of a Laptop. It is possible to get a good laptop to meet your every need for about $250 to $320 but this is different for Tablets.

The average selling price of a tab is $490 while the average price of laptop is $650. At a glance, it looks like laptops are more expensive but when you compare their performance and features you would see that the tablet PC is way more expensive.

While with $300 you can get a good laptop, you will need up to &450 to buy a Tablet of similar performance and capabilities.

Size, Portability and Shape
Tablets are usually more portable as compared to laptops. You do not need any special bags to carry them or move around.

They come in different sizes and shapes and some are small enough to fit into a purse.

The laptop on the other hand is bigger than the tab and does not allow certain mobility and mostly has to be carried in a bag. This is one area which the Tab tops the Lap top.

Power Consumption, Battery Life and Durability

If you are someone who is always on the move, then the Tablet PC is definitely for you. It can last up to 17 hours without any connection to power. This is way better compared to the lap to 2 to 5 hours of power life.

The power consumption on laptop is due to the presence of fans, coolers and other power consuming devices. In terms of durability, the lap top tends to last more than the Tab. The screen of the tap is more prone to breaking and other hazards related to software that may arise

Tablet PC is the way of the future

tablet PC all the way ... upgrade, step up ... if you can of course

For me tablets are not yet powerful enough to replace a laptop completely. Their power is growing though so in perhaps in about 3 years we may see a true paradigm shift once again in computing form factor. For now I will be sticking with a laptop.

Not true at all, what about the Surface Pro 2 and 3? What about the Asus T300LA? What about the Lenovo Thinkpad Helix. All of which come with core i5 or i7 processors. Windows tablets can easily replace laptops. They run the exact same OS with the same amount of power.

True but none of them carry dedicated GPUs which for me is key to the kind of performance I want from my machine. The alternative will be for the integrated GPUs to be as good as those in the AMD A10 apus. I know that within 2-3years tablets will be very capable of the kind of performance I like.

Intel integrated GPUs are quickly catching up and some are as good as the AMD A10 Kaveri APU. Watch videos on the Intel Iris 5100 or the Intel Iris Pro 5200. Or would you like me to link a video here bro.

Serve different purpose.

Do people still use Laptops?

Laptops of course. Tablets are just for surfing the web, chatting, watching movies, etc. Mainly for entertainment purposes. You'd need a laptop if you want to do real work. Microsoft is trying to make an exception with the surface pro 3 tho.

Both

both is needed at least there things u can do with laptop that u cant do with tablet eg multiple file sharing i connect my tab and usb card reader and copy files to both at same time.

Tablet as in capsule?

If I wanna use a phone, I use a phone, if I want something larger in display and functionability , I stick to a Laptop, Tabs are short on size in full scale functionability as compared to a Laptop and short on portability when compared to a phone.

I'll go for dis

U guys can also compare this two dudes
