In the 21st century, "smart" devices are increasingly intertwined with the everyday tasks of modern man. Our world accelerates its run, and in this rhythm only those who will make decisions and act just as quickly will survive. Ordering pizza, video-talks with colleagues and friends, watching the latest news, creating documents and presentations on the go, constant access to the Internet, weather reports - all this is only a small part of what a modern person needs every day. So, at hand there should always be a universal device that can easily cope with everyday tasks. This device is a tablet based on Android OS.

Today, the market for these devices is represented by almost 1500 models, from which there are few more than five hundred models available in Russia. But how to choose a really good device that will meet all the requirements for it?

Before choosing a tablet, you need to determine the main purpose of the tablet, i.e. Where and when it will be needed.

• for work;
• for fun;
• For the Internet;
• Universal;
• Budgetary.

Tablets for work

These are tablets, the main purpose of which is to view documents and create them, monitor e-mail and access to the Internet. The device should be convenient and fit into the business portfolio, i.e. The diagonal of its screen should not exceed nine inches. An important factor for such devices is the capacity of the battery, because if it is not large, the owner can be in an extremely awkward situation, being in the middle of a working day with a "dead" device on the eve of an important meeting, the documentation for which remained in the bowels of the file system of the tablet.

It is worth noting that some devices have the function of outputting images to the screen through the projector, which is especially true if the presentation is created directly on the tablet.

Thus, the optimal for a business person will be a tablet that has the following parameters:

• Screen 7-8 ";
• The battery capacity is not less than 4000 mAh;
• 512-1024 MB of RAM;
• Frequency of the processor is not less than 1 GHz;
• HDMI-out.

Estimated cost will be about 4000-6000 rubles.

Tablets for entertainment

These devices are designed, at least for resource-intensive and demanding games, viewing multimedia content, surfing the Internet and watching movies.

Such tablets have relatively larger screen sizes than those discussed above. They are characterized by the presence of a large amount of RAM and a powerful processor, most often dual-core. High screen resolution and good viewing angles will make the game process and watching movies more comfortable.

It turns out that when choosing a "game" tablet should rely on the following data:

• Diagonal screen 9-11 ";
• A dual-core processor with a frequency of 1.2-1.4 GHz;
• 1-1.5 GB of RAM;
• At least 8 GB of internal memory;
• The battery capacity is not less than 4000 mAh;
• Powerful video card. Tegra 3, for example.

Estimated cost will be 10-22 thousand rubles.

Tablets for the Internet

This, the so-called nettab (ang) is an Internet tablet. Their main task is Internet surfing. Most often they do not have either a powerful processor or a large amount of memory. Their main task is to provide the user with comfortable access to the Internet, which is achieved by observing certain points when buying a tablet:

- screen diagonal 7-9 "- 1GB of RAM - 1 GHz processor - support for external 3G modems or SIM card slot - support for Wi-Fi

The price fluctuates around 7-10 thousand rubles.

Universal tablet computers

These are tablets that are used for both games, and for surfing, and for work. Such devices today in the electronics market the vast majority. They pay special attention to the processor, the presence of Wi-Fi, GPS and battery capacity. For more comfortable use is not recommended to chase the size of the screen. 10-inch tablet - bulky and uncomfortable thing with an approximate size of 35 * 25 cm: wearing something like this in a bag or briefcase is just dangerous, because they are very fragile. The most optimal option for a universal tablet will be a diagonal of 8 ".

Thus, the device should correspond approximately to such characteristics:

• Diagonal 8 "- processor with a frequency of 1.2-1.4 GHz;
• 1 GB of RAM;
• The battery capacity is not less than 4500 mAh;
• Availability of Wi-Fi and 3G.

The cost will be about 7-14 thousand rubles.

Budget Tablet

This category includes tablets, the price of which does not exceed 5000 rubles. Of course, their capabilities are not as wide as those that are 2-3 times more expensive, but they also take place. Such devices will be a good gift for a student or a person who will use the tablet as a reader (e-book) or to run simple games that do not require high system performance. At the time of writing the article for 4500 rubles you can buy a tablet that has the following characteristics:

• Diagonal screen 8 ";
• IPS TFT matrix;
• Wi-Fi, 3G, GPS;
• A dual-core processor with a frequency of 1.6 GHz;
• 1 GB of RAM;
• 16 GB of internal memory.

Not bad, right? But in what a dirty trick, after all devices with similar parameters are built in 2-3 times more expensive? And the catch is that the company-manufacturer does not have a world-wide reputation and in the event of a breakdown, spare parts for it will be almost impossible to find.

Tablet of which category to choose is for the reader to decide. The main thing is that he becomes a reliable and reliable assistant, on whom you can rely!
