Are you broke? Is money very tight for you? Do you want to save
money? Do you want me to tell you how to save money on technology?
After all we all have to have technology to survive college.
Hurricane Matthew……..A bad storm……………..had a lightning strike caused me to lose
half my studio so I have to replace the equipment so I need to decide whether
to buy laptops or tablets. I want to tell you why I think laptops are the best
choice.
Although tablets are convenient Laptops are much better
still.
So let’s look at the differences between the two devices:
1.

‘Amazon.com’

$400-$3000
3.

internet ‘Verizon’ was the first phone service to have “HOTSPOT” technology

Survey Results. Here
Tablets
have their place though I am not here to tell you do not buy one, just take
some time to think of what you are doing with the device you are buying to make
sure you purchase the correct device.
PC Magazine Digital Edition the electronic side of the
well-known PC Magazine print edition says:
Bottom line: If you need to do
serious work, need powerful processing or multitasking, or need compatibility
with a specific accessory or storage device, there's no good alternative to the
laptop. Tablets can fulfill some of these needs some of the time, but when it's
time to get things done, the laptop still reigns.
USA Today Newspaper Electronic edition, a certainly well-known
newspaper says:
Perhaps most importantly —
especially for those who do a lot of typing — a physical keyboard is more
comfortable, accurate and fast than a tablet's "virtual" (on-screen)
keyboard.
In conclusion: With money
being tight I want you to go away from here as college students that you will
be doing a lot of homework and being able to have one device that fits all for
learning with very little compromising, A laptop is the way to go. But whatever
you decide please do research first before you spend your money!
