11 best Windows tablets based on customer reviews

Key benefits of Windows tablets

What do the devices discussed in this top resemble most? For laptops. Indeed, tablet computers running Windows are essentially stripped-down laptops. Often they even come with a QWERTY keyboard.

, fastened by one method or another. By the way, its presence greatly simplifies typing and also frees up space on the screen at this moment.

Windows tablets, like laptops, are based on an x86 processor

. This means that all the same programs are launched here. As a result, the device becomes the best choice for a professional - designer, architect, musician, web developer or photographer. It can also be used to teach students computer literacy.

Unlike Android devices, Windows tablets usually have a large screen

. Ideal if you buy a device with a 12- or even 13-inch display. It is on it that the interface will be most convenient, and multitasking will be implemented in the most comfortable way. There are also more compact models, but you should only look at them if you are short on budget.

Tips for choosing

When choosing, pay attention to several criteria:

• Memory. The higher its capacity, the faster the tablet will work. In addition, with the expansion of memory, the functionality will also expand.
• Equipment. Today, the most basic component is the keyboard, but some tablets are acceptable without it, because the owners are looking for a tablet, and not a netbook or laptop.
• Screen sizes. Focus on your purchasing goals. If you plan to work with small elements, images and graphics, you will need a larger size. Standard devices with a diagonal of 10.1" are suitable for operation.
• CPU. Intel offers constant expansion of device capabilities, and therefore we recommend selecting new generation processors. They are much more powerful and support complex functions.

For the rest (module support, design and colors), rely on your preferences and wishes. You can also focus on the types of work that you plan to perform on the tablet. This may be a purchase for a child, then we advise you to opt for an inexpensive version of the device.

FAQ:

Which is better: a Windows tablet or an Android tablet? These devices have different tasks. An Android tablet is suitable for Internet surfing, watching movies and photos, simple casual toys, social networks and calls via Skype. A Windows tablet is a device for those who need a full-fledged desktop operating system to solve specific problems, such as using desktop software that is not available on either Android or iOS. In general, if you don’t know why you need a Windows tablet, choose Android.

Is it possible to use a Windows tablet for games? Not only is it possible, but it is also necessary. Windows is the most popular gaming platform, and there are tons of games coming to it. Unfortunately, a tablet is not suitable for modern AAA projects: the hardware is not right. But there are a lot of indie projects, not to mention gaming classics and a huge selection of console emulators.

Pros and cons of models on Windows 10

Important! First, let's talk about the pleasant sides of Windows 10 tablets:

1. Firstly, it is multi-window;
2. secondly, the programs of this operating system are considered the best and it is difficult to find a full-fledged replacement for them;
3. thirdly, integration with peripheral devices (keyboard, mouse, USB flash drive, etc.) is much better expressed.

As for the disadvantages :

• These tablets do not differ in variety, because they are made according to a single pattern.
• The applications are good, but there are few of them. Just like games.
• These tablets are significantly more expensive than Android devices. Of course, there are exceptions here, but not everyone trusts third-tier Chinese brands.

Reference! Start from what you need specifically at the present time.

An Android tablet is ideal for entertainment: games, movies, music, hanging out on social networks.

But as a work tool, a tablet with Windows 10 OS clearly wins.
