The Battle of the Portables
Should I Sell My Used Laptop
for a Tablet?
Every day, people are becoming more aware
of the new technologies available on the
market. It encompasses age limits, races,
industries and borderlines.
We're witnessing a revolution here, not merely
an evolution of technology or trends. And I'm
pretty sure about that.
The world now revolves around the world of
technological advancement. Every month
promises a new release, a new discovery, a
new perspective and a new marketing
scheme. But it can't be stopped, nor can it be
helped.
Every day, people are becoming more aware
of the new technologies available on the
market. It encompasses age limits, races,
industries and borderlines.
Let's take the tablet PC for an instance; a few
years ago tablets were for high profile
consumers in the U.S. Now, tablets like iPads
are in high demand in China, U.K., Japan and
in other countries.
People all over the world are selling
electronics for cash just to get the touch
experience that the tablet PC can create. But
apart from the new technological experience,
the tablet PC also created a battle for all kinds
of portable platforms including the laptop.
Tablet PC: From Multimedia
Toy to Enterprise Powerhouse
   Since Microsoft's introduction of the
    tablet in 1999, people have known the
    tablet PC as the expensive toy that is
    good for multimedia viewing (e.g. movie
    watching,    music    playing,     internet
    browsing, eBook reading) and is fitted
    only for people who have a lot of time left
    in their daily schedules for playing.
    Today, however, the tablet PC is proving
    to be a strong desktop and laptop
    competitor even in the enterprise and
    business setting.
Tablet PC: From Multimedia
Toy to Enterprise Powerhouse
   In fact a study in 2011 showed that almost 72
    percent of enterprises and business in
    America use tablets. What for? Sixty-two
    percent of the respondents of the study said
    they use their tablet PC in the office several
    times a day and the most common use is to
    check their emails every once in a while (37
    percent of responders). Meanwhile, tablets
    are becoming handier for office people and
    executives with 13 percent of the
    respondents saying they use their tablets for
    giving presentations and 8 percent says they
    use it for taking notes during meetings.
I’m a busy Tablet 
Tablet PC: From Multimedia
Toy to Enterprise Powerhouse
   The tablet is increasingly becoming a
    reason for people to sell laptops for cash
    because of so many advantages
    including mobility. The most important
    and beneficial characteristic of the tablet
    PC is that it is very easy to carry around.
    I wouldn't need big, bulky laptop bags to
    take my tablet with me, all I need is a
    trusty and durable leather case and I can
    easily put it in my tote bag, and 31
    percent of the respondents of the study
    agree with this.
NOW WHO’S THE REAL
BETTER
Tablet PC: From Multimedia
Toy to Enterprise Powerhouse
   The size of this mobile device also makes it more
    desirable over the laptop because it ranges from
    only 7 inches to 10 inches at max. It's also very
    light. Most tablets barely weigh a pound as
    compared with a heavy 3 pounds (minimum)
    laptop. But probably the best part about the
    tablet is that it's easier to use (via non-complex
    UI, OS and apps) and it is more interactive than
    a laptop. A tablet owner can also enjoy a more
    tactile and controllable experience with a full
    screen to work on. But that's also a weakness for
    this portable device. Selling used laptops for an
    expensive tablet that can easily break isn't really
    a smart thing to do (especially if you're a clumsy
    person by nature). Dropping your tablet and
    breaking its screen will render this portable
    device useless.
