Do you still need a laptop in the world of tablets?

It seems the computing world is moving on. According to research firm NPD, tablets will out-ship laptops in 2013. While laptops will still outnumber tablets in terms of active usage for the foreseeable future, the tide is certainly shifting. It appears that consumers are really starting to ask themselves whether they really need a new laptop, of if they can get by with a tablet as their portable device. If you are planning to purchase a new portable computer in 2013, you might be asking the same question. As with any technology purchase, which usually has long-term implications, the answer is never simple. There are many factors that determine whether an individual is better off with a laptop or a tablet.

Is it your primary device?

Tablets run mobile operating systems, which gives them many advantages. Since they're less resources intensive, tablets can be much smaller and lighter weight than laptops. But with those advantages come some downsides. The limitations on mobile operating systems makes them poor primary devices. Tablet buyers should also have a PC, whether a desktop or a laptop, as a primary device. The tablet might do the bulk of the work, occupying most of a user's browsing and internet-based computer time. But the desktop is there to do heavy lifting tasks, such as word processing and other tasks familiar to PC users. Downloading and syncing files also becomes much easier when using a primary PC.

Are you word processing heavy?

Tablets have come a long way in terms of typing. The on-screen keyboards on the iPad and Android tablets are quite usable. They might take a few weeks of acclimation, but for the most part users will grow accustomed to typing on the virtual keyboard. Even better, users can connect Bluetooth keyboards to tablets, making typing more familiar. Yet there are still big word processing problems with tablets.

• Common functions, such as Control-A, Control-C, and Control-V, will not work with most Bluetooth keyboards. The tablet operating systems just aren't programmed for them.
• If there is not some kind of connecting apparatus, as with the keyboard on the Microsoft Surface tablet, you'll have to find a solid surface on which to place the tablet and the keyboard. While that might not be a problem in some places, typing somewhere like a train or bus becomes problematic.
• Word processing works well when combined with a mouse, since it gives the user precise control. Most mice are not compatible with tablets, complicating a usually simple procedure.

If you type a lot, a tablet might not be for you.

Are you a gamer?

Gaming on tablets has come a long way. In fact, the developing world of mobile games will soon become a major selling point for tablets. Yet those games are aimed at casual gamers and people looking to kill time. Because of a tablet's limitations, it simply cannot match the nuance of console or PC games. Even as tablets become more powerful, they still won't touch specialty gaming PCs. The Lenovo IdeaPad Y480, considered by many to be the best gaming laptop, will always be a few steps ahead of tablets, mainly because it has the capacity to hold a more powerful processor and video card. Serious gamers will still need that PC or laptop for the required power.

Do you need Flash?

For the sake of your sanity, the answer to this is hopefully No. Adobe's Flash became the primary video platform on the web some years ago, but has since fallen into disfavor. That's for good reason: Flash constantly crashes and causes many problems. It can bring a PC (and especially a Mac) to a grinding halt, and it crashes all the time. Everyone's life will become much easier once Flash is completely phased out in favor of HTML5 video standards. If you are one of the unfortunate souls who still relies on Flash for whatever reason, a tablet might not be the answer for you. The iPad completely lacks Flash in any capacity. While there is a legacy Flash application for Android, it is no longer actively supported. Even when it was supported, it was just as buggy and terrible as Flash on a PC. If you happen to need Flash for whatever reason, a laptop will likely serve you better. Many consumers will flock to replace their laptops with tablets in 2013, but it's not a trend everyone needs to follow. There are certain consumers for whom a laptop will work much better. Still, it is encouraging to see the move towards tablets. Perhaps the increased demand will lead to greater tablet functionality in the future.

2. Customize your background image

When using LED and AMOLED screens dims the backlight when the screen is dark colors to display. This seem dark colors even darker.

4. Turn off Bluetooth when not in use

The Bluetooth sensor consumes relatively much energy. Turn bluetooth always off when you're not using.

5. Turn off GPS when you are not using

The GPS receiver consumes energy unnecessarily when GPS is enabled. Turn off GPS so when you're not using.

6. Avoid unnecessary synchronization

Some applications search with a fixed regular contact with other systems via the Internet. For example, to send messages to retrieve or send. Each time a synchronization occurs, the Internet consumes energy. Late applications so only synchronize when you really need. When a synchronization adds nothing to use your tablet, then you should follow the synchronization off.

7. Remove apps you do not use

Because each app in the background processes can run or synchronizations can execute, it never hurts to clean up unused apps. In addition to the disk space that it brings, it also provides certainty about your energy consumption.

8. Do not use animated backgrounds

Animated backgrounds make use of your CPU and graphics chip. This obviously creates unnecessary burden for unnecessary energy consumption.

9. Turn your Internet connection when you are not using

Once you do not need Internet, it is advisable to turn off the data connection and thus valuable energy savings.

10. Use Android's built-in battery usage report

Android has a built-in feature that some users may not even know exists. This battery consumption report shows you exactly where the energy of your battery going. Go to Settings> Device Info> Battery use and see which process is the most energy.

Four Main Advantages Of Windows RT Tablets

» The price

One of the main advantages is probably the price. RT Windows tablets running on an ARM processor with a Windows RT license. The combination of these elements allows in many cases for Windows RT tablets at a lower price in the market are then put Windows 8 tablets with an Intel processor. With a budget of 500-700 euros you can pretty well from the feet.

» Office 2012 RT is included for free

An important advantage of Windows RT tablets is that the Office 2013 RT package is included for free. Initially, it is still a preview version, but Microsoft will sometime in the next few weeks the full version roll (free update). This gives you direct, and without additional cost, access to the popular word processing, spreadsheet and presentation programs (One Note, Word, Excel and PowerPoint). If you have a Windows 8 tablet buy Office 2013, you will need to purchase separately.

» Longer battery life

RT Windows tablets run as stated on an ARM processor, a processor that we have so far only Android tablets and iPads ran. Now the ARM processors from Nvidia and Qualcomm among others, also for Windows can be used to cause a few extra advantages. Thus, the ARM processor is generally much more energy efficient than the Intel (x86/x64) processor. Since the battery life of tablets is an important part, this is an important advantage of Windows RT tablets. There are tablets with an ARM processor often just be thinner and lighter than the Intel / AMD variants, something that the device in some cases just a little more mobile.

» No malware

A "bonus advantage 'is the fact that the probability of (certain) malware - malicious and / or damaging software - Windows RT tablets is much smaller than in Windows 8 tablets, at least provisionally. Simply put, this is because the malware is now distributed aimed at and designed for x86/x64 (Intel / AMD) devices and therefore can not be rotated on a Windows tablet RT. As mentioned, this advantage is temporary as the attackers at a rapid adoption of Windows RT course just getting started with malware that is devoted to this.
