wildfire in the world. With multiple companies jumping in the market, it has become quite difficult to

But before that, take a look at our quick, easy and informative guide to help you buy a tablet:

1. Operating System

Tablets come with various types of operating systems ranging from iOS, Android 4.0 to Microsoft's

Windows 7 and Windows 8. Also, Blackberry and HP offer some operating systems for tablets. Out of all,

most popular is iOS, but with HCL introducing some excellent Android tablets under its ME range, this

trend has got wild.

2. Screen Size

Second most important thing to consider is the screen size of the tablet which you can decide according

to comfort-ability and portability level required. Most popular today is iPad1 and iPad 2’s 9.7 inch screen

display, whereas Android 3.0 tablets are much bigger and come with 10.1-inch displays. HCL offers 7

inch Android cheap tablets which run on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Dell Streak 7 and Blackberry

Playbook offers 7 inch tablet and smart-phone tablets come with 5 inch screen.

3. Processor

Tablets today are built with ARM processor technology—used in most mobile phones. However,

companies use their personalized versions with Apple installing A5 chip in iPad while Android 3.0 tablets

run on Nvidia's Tegra 2 processor.

4. 3G Connectivity

All tablets come with Wi-Fi compatibility so that you can connect it to your home network. But, if you

want internet connectivity while you travel then 3G tablets are the best. With this you can insert mobile

internet-enabled SIM card into the tablets and use the internet while on the move. Though expensive,

such tablets can be availed at subsidized rates from various stores.

5. Storage Space

How much memory you need is dependent upon your use of tablet. For storing loads of music and

photos, 16 GB memory is more than enough but for smoothly running large applications and HD video

you require much more storage space. The iPad doesn't come with memory card slot; however, but HCL

tablets come with 4GB internal storage and microSD card slot through which you can expanded the

memory up to 32GB.

Most tablets allow you to connect with monitor displays and televisions via an HDMI cable. Such feature

can make you play videos on the bigger screen to take your user experience to another level. HCL

Android Tablets come with full-size or mini-HDMI output whereas with iPad 2 you have to spend extra

bucks to purchase the wire.

productivity applications such as spreadsheets and word processors as well as good editing tools and

online apps like Google Docs give them an extra edge. But, don’t just don’t except miracles from tablets

when it come to work. Tablets can be an addition to your technology gadgets but surely not a

replacement to full-blown Mac or PC with powerful desktop software.
