Are Tablet PC's Worth it?

It’s been 3 years since I have been using this HP’s Tablet PC, and I want to change it now.


You might be thinking why I bought it in the first place? Well, Coz you can twist the screen around, and it has touch Screen. But Have I Ever used the touch screen? No. Does Twisting the screen gave me any benefits? No. Did it cost more? Yes.


If you are looking for a laptop, and don’t have money to throw around(like me:) then don’t go for fancy stuffs like this. Stick to the specification you want.


Pros -


~ This tablet is quite small - 12 inches, and very lightweight too. That was one of the main reasons I bought it as I am a student. So if you are someone whose gonna carry a laptop a lot, you might think of it.


~ Its touchpad is the best. Its metallic rather than those grey ones with rubber buttons who get bad after a point.


~ With this laptop you get one extra battery free, so you can interchange the batteries every 15 days to preserve battery life longer


Cons -


~ Its got AMD! Stay AWAY from AMD. AMD is not meant for indian weather. It heats up a LOT. My laptop is joked off as a heater. You’ll need to buy a cooling pad for it as a must. For people who use this on there lap is a bad idea. AMD Cause a lot of heat, Specially in Summer and if your places temperature goes beyond 35-40 normally its a very bad idea to take this one.


(AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL - 60 2.00 Ghz)


~ Intel is expensive then AMD, but its worth the investment! If you getting Intel version for it go for that not for AMD. You’ll regret saving a few bucks.


~ Because of its two layer technology for touch screen, you can’t see anything if you are using this laptop anywhere outside in the sun. The light get reflected in a way that even with max brightness you can see hardly anything. Although we use laptops indoors mostly, but rarely whenever you do use, its very Annoying!

  • Keyboard is different from standard, can be annoying at start but you get used to it.

Final Verdict -


Don’t Buy it. There are many more laptops which you can go for. I Say it again. Go For Specification First. Stick to Simple and Easy. Don’t go for this one.


Have A Nice Day:)
