Laptops Vs Tablets: What to Buy & Choose?

Laptops Vs Tablets: What to Buy & How do I Decide?

With the advent of so many new gadgets every season it’s a tough call for an inexperienced customer to decide what he wants. Starting from smartphones, slate tablets, netbooks, kindle, laptops or high end gaming devices there are plenty of gadgets available depending on your needs

I own an iPhone since quite long, but with Apple announcing iPad and recent explosion of multi-touch slate tablets, I did some research on feasibility of these gadgets. Whether I really need a tablet or will a small netbook or a laptop will solve my purpose ?
Following is the table that we came up with for novice people who can see their purpose of buying a new gadget and assign a score (1-3) for each of the purpose.

Purpose	Tablet(Slate) score	Laptop/Netbook score
Listen to Music	3	2
Travelling	3	2
Browsing	3	2
Casual Gaming	2	1
Portability	3	3
Data Processing	1	3
Official Work	1	3
Programming	1	3
School Homework	1	3
Watching movies	3	2
Economical	1	3

Using this table is quite simple, just see the purpose you want to use your gadget and keep adding the score for tablet slate and laptop. For example, if your main purpose of getting a new gadget is to listen to music, browsing, watching movies and portability, then you may decide on a good tablet instead of getting a laptop.
However the table is for novice people, they should carefully review the list and also plan for how much time are they going to use their new device as with age technology gets better and cheaper.
Good Luck! in buying your New Technology Toy…!!
