What you can do with a tablet

Koyama

"Tablets are basically used like a smartphone or less than a personal computer. You can enjoy videos and games on a larger screen than your smartphone, or input pen as if you write in a normal notebook. Semi -professionals draw pictures.I can also use it. In my case, when I don't bring a personal computer, I sometimes bring it as I can see the work materials.Is the main usage. "

How to choose a tablet

There are five points that should be noted to choose a tablet that suits you: OS, size, connection method, storage capacity, and usage.

OS(iPad・ Android・ Windows)

The OS is an abbreviation of "Operating System", and translated it directly.Three types of OSs on the tablet are roughly divided: "iPad", "Android", and "Windows".Explains the features and advantages and disadvantages of each OS.

・ IPados (iOS)

iPados is an OS that customizes iOS for iPad.It is only installed in Apple products such as iPad.It is highly compatible with the iPhone and can be used on the iPad with a paid app downloaded on the iPhone.It is attractive that the operation is easy and the security is safe.

"The iPad has a very good pend device, and the app is enriched. Recently, the flow of iPad has become a little stronger.You need to choose. The price is higher than that of Android, but it is recommended for those who value quality. "

・ Android

Android is a license -free OS developed by Google.It is highly compatible with Android's smartphone, and data migration can be smooth.

There are many types because various manufacturers sell various models.The specifications vary in specifications, from those with excellent cospa and performance to those who are somewhat uneasy about security.It is attractive that you can add capacity later because there are many cheaper prices than iPad and SD card compatible models.

"Unlike the iPad, which can be operated by intuition, Android needs to be used by himself. From the person who knows it, it can be used close to the iPad."

・ Windows

Windows is an OS provided by Microsoft.Office products such as Word and Excel are available, and can be used in the same way as laptops.Recommended for work.

"It may be better to think of a tablet PC and consider it as a different genre from iPad or Android. It is for those who want to use it as a personal computer."

size

・ 7-8 inches

7-8 inches is a size for cospa and portability -oriented.Recommended for e -books because it is lightweight and hard to get tired and easy to carry.It is also suitable for making effective use of the gap time, such as learning English words in the app while going to school by train.The performance tends to be low, so it is not suitable for video editing or playing heavy games.

・ 9-10 inches

9-10 inches is large, perfect for enjoying videos and games.Because it is heavy, it is easy to get tired when you hold it for a long time.Recommended for those who value realism and ease of viewing.If you are considering e -books, please choose in consideration of the balance between portability and easy -to -read.

"The mainstream size is around 10 inches. Unlike TV, you look at a distance of about 30cm, so youtube and Netflix also have a sufficient immersive feeling. Electronic magazines are displayed in almost the same size as paper.Because it will be done, you can read it without scaling each time. "

・ 11 inches or more

For more than 11 inches, the screen is very large, so it is easy to see even for presbyopia.There are many high -performance terminals and can be used like a laptop.

"The size and how to use it will be close to a personal computer. I have an impression that it is often used as a business tool. For those who want to work with a pen, those who want to use a keyboard together."

Communication method (Wi-Fi / LTE)

There are two types of communication methods for tablets: "Wi-Fi" and "LTE".

·Wifi

The Wi-Fi model is connected by wireless LAN.If you use your home internet environment or free Wi-Fi spot, you can use it for free communication costs.

It cannot be used in places where there is no Wi-Fi environment, so it is not suitable for those who want to use it anytime, anywhere.

・ LTE (SIM free)

LTE is connected using a mobile phone communication system.Since it is necessary to sign a contract with a mobile company, a monthly communication fee will be charged.

In Japan, it can be used almost anywhere.For those who frequently use it on the go.

"If you want to reduce running costs, Wi-Fi. You should choose whether to use it in a place where there is no Wi-Fi environment."

Storage capacity

Storage is the place to save data such as photos and videos.The larger the capacity, the higher the data that can be stored, but the higher the price.Choose in consideration of the balance between applications and budgets.

32GB or less: Not much data

64GB: Save videos and photos a little

128GB: Save a lot of videos, large -capacity games

256GB ~: For work, used like a computer

"Most Android devices can add micro SDs. If you don't have enough, you don't have to worry about the capacity. You can't add storage for iPads, so you have to decide first.32GB is not recommended because I use it. I will hardly save data! It will be used. If you want to download manga and movies, I would like 128GB if possible. Recently, the capacity is filled with photos of iPhone.There are many cases, so you may feel less 64GB. If it is an iPad Air, it is safe if it is a 256GB model. "

Other check items

Depending on the application, there are points that should be checked in advance.Please check each item according to the purpose of use.

・ Whether it can be used as a notebook PC

Tablets are basically not as good as laptops, so the range of work they can do is limited.If you want to use it for a wide range of applications, we recommend a high -performance model such as a terminal with Windows OS or an iPad Pro.Also, make sure that you can install the apps you want to use, such as Microsoft Office and Illustrator.

・ Keyboard support

There are two types of keyboards: "type to connect with Bluetooth" and "type to connect with USB".Check your tablet for "Bluetooth compatible" or "USB port" and choose the keyboard.Also, if the OS is not supported, some unusable keys will appear, so you need to check them carefully.

・ Is it equipped with waterproof / dustproof / impact resistance?

If you want to use a bath or outdoors, it is important to check if it has a waterproof and dustproof function so that it does not break down due to wet or dust.For children's learning, it is recommended to have a strong impact resistance so that inadvertently dropped it.If your desired terminal is not good for waterproofing and dustproof functions, one of the options is to complement the function in a dedicated case.

Use

The optimal tablet depends on the application.Introducing the best tablets for each purpose.

・ Video viewing

"The larger the screen, the more powerful. When watching a movie on a travel destination or a Shinkansen, if you want to download it, it would be nice to have 128GB. If you watch it in a hotel room, the sound side is solid.It would be better to do it. One hand is to choose a model equipped with 4 speakers and Dolby sound. "

·game

"In competitive online games and games with heavy loads such as Micra, if the performance is low, the movement will be jerky. The performance class is roughly determined in the price range, so beginners will distinguish the performance level when paying attention to the price.It will be easy to do. Android can enjoy some games if the model costs 30,000 yen or more and the iPad is 50,000 yen or more. "

·E-book

"E -books are not enough performance if novels or paperbacks are the main, so cheap models are enough. In the case of manga, it is better to have a higher resolution. HD's 1280 x 720 model.Then you can read it neatly. We do not recommend a cheap model with 1024 × 600.

·jobs

"Windows terminals are suitable for work. Cheap Android terminals are scary, including security, so I don't recommend it. IPAD is easy to use at work. I recommend it.There are plenty of business apps. "

・ Study, illustration

"The iPad is an excellent terminal that can use a pen. It is also recommended for illustrations, and people who are not satisfied with this will use a pen tablet like Wacom. The learning app is enriched.It's good for studying. If your child wants to calculate it with a character practice or app, it might be the cheapest iPad for the time being. "
