You see them everywhere now, on the news, on billboards, buses, subways and so on. The top tablet PCs are everywhere and they keep growing in numbers. But I am sure there are a lot of people out there that wonder how this happened, how it came to be and more importantly what are the best parts of these devices that make them so desirable.
These devices are the result of a natural evolution of the increasingly powerful smart phones. Capable hardware and light weight design makes them perfect to have around wherever we may go. The heavy laptops are falling behind in popularity when they get compared to a 600-700 gram sheet of paper that lets you listen to music, watch high definition movies, read books and go online to all of your favorite websites.
The best tablets PCs right now have dual-core processors of 1GHz and even better. One of the main providers is NVIDIA with their Tegra 2 Chipset that is the most popular choice for a high end tablet PC right now.
Companies on the other hand are still a bit reluctant to take these in, because of the security risks, but producers are working on this as well. Fujitsu launched a unit with specific systems designed to assure security even in the case of theft or the loss of the device. Systems and modules like Advanced Theft Protection (ATP) and Trusted Platform Module (TPM) keep the information safeguarded from the latest hacking tools and methods.
When it comes to a tablet PC review, the most important thing to take into consideration is the operating system. This assures you get the most out of it and also gives you the best runtime, in the case of Apple’s iOS even up to ten hours, making it worthwhile to use it for a whole work day.
It is very hard to award any tablet the title of best tablet PC because improvements are discovered almost daily.
What we can look for is good reviews and what models are the most popular on big webstores like Amazon and Best Buy. One of the best Android tablets is the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. Selling figures are growing steady and it is at the moment one of the most popular.
Provided with a large 10.1 inch touchscreen and an NVIDIA Tegra 2 chipset there is nothing this tablet is not up for. Completed with two cameras, it can also render and record videos in 1080p.
In the end we just have to wait and see how far this new technology will go, but so far, tablets at least make for fun toys and easy Internet access devices, all in a light attractive touch screen shell. But they have the potential to become so much more, replacing computers as we knew them before.
