Tablets are easy way for interaction. They provide you pc like features and extreme portable solution. Today, we have a huge list of brands in the market selling various models. We have fierce competition between Apple, Android and Microsoft. I am not talking about the company or brand, I am talking about the platform “the operating system”. Apple started with iPad, a super cool tablet with great touch support and durable design. Above all the iOS operating inside is was amazing. It offers you simple way to carry out various works instantly. Super smooth touch interface add more fun. You can play games, watch movies, chat with your friends, surf web, etc. Keeping that thing in mind other brands pop-in with more new and innovative approach. After Google, released Android this gadget got a kick start. A free, reliable and feature rich operating system. Many brands which never exist started appearing. Android has captured a huge amount of market share. That is because of reasonable products and millions of free apps/games on Google Play. This is something smartly done. A product that has its own store with hundreds of new apps coming every day. Before this, the iTunes store iPad was the only hub for getting apps for iOS. Now we have something bigger. Along with this, Microsoft slowly crawled out with its own series of portable system called as Surface. The new version Surface pro comes with Windows 8. Microsoft entirely modified the user interface of Windows, to add uniformity in its OS. So that whichever gadget you are using, if it has Windows, it will be easy to operate. In this guide we are going to checkout some of the best Windows tablet. How a Windows tablet can benefit you over Android Tablet or iPad.
Windows is a commercial product. If you buy a Windows tablet you are already paying the license fee of OS in it. That hikes the price. This is one of the major causes why Windows tablet are so costly. But they are amazing. I had worked on various models like Samsung ATIV Smart PC Pro, Dell Latitude, Lenovo and Ideapad Yoga. I used them separately for more than a month, and being a geek I found it more comfortable over Android. If you have a Windows tablet in your hand, then just assume that you are carrying the whole features of a laptop or a desktop. The thing which you can do in your PC you can do in that. Like editing an Office document, downloading, image editing, chatting, etc. Microsoft stays behind in the App Store thing. I don’t know why they do not look so serious in developing the App store better. Windows Store today has a few set of good apps. Among which I had seen Skype is the best one. It works well on the full touch screen. There is no comparison of Google Play and Windows App store. We have the power of Windows here, but we don’t have suitable apps that would work well on touch screen. Developers do not look much interested in working for Windows platform I think. Still the tablets are amazing. They might not give you great games, but you can carry your own personal computer with you.
Why Windows, Why not Android or iPad?
This would be the first question you will ask yourself if you are out to buy a tablet. In a shop at one side you see all Windows tablet places well shining. And on the other side, you see a huge series of Android tablet started from the cheapest amount to highest. They look amazing, small and in budget. Android gives you more choice in terms of price. Many buyers consider price as the primary aspect when they are out for shopping. Then comes the features, model, and extra stuff. But if we take this thing in reverse, like first comes the features, brand, model, etc Windows tablet surely appear on the top. They are not just a device made for fun, but they are designed to give you work. They are for both professionals and personal both. Now let’s assume that you want to copy a file from your laptop which is on your office LAN network. And the file is shared inside a folder. You have an Android tablet or iOS tablet with you. To access that share folder you have to download different applications. A Samba client may be. Then you will connect the tablet on same LAN network via wifi and try to locate the folder. But if you have Windows, You just have to tap on network places. You can add the tablet in same work group and even share the folder inside it. No app needed for that.
For Enterprise who uses Windows Server, Active Directory Authentication, etc to manage their business offers a secure login to their employees. And you want to use your tablet on that network securely. On non Windows platform you will have to mess with settings manually. And compare to that on Windows 8 you just have to enter the workgroup and login details. There are some important things which are not possible in Android/iPad and for each of them you have to add a new app. Android is considered as non secure platform. Recent news claimed that this platform is suffering from tons of malware attack daily. So take care if you are using it for banking or official usage. People only prefer Android due to budget choices. It will be wrong to say that Windows is also 100% secure. IT also faces virus issues, but updates and vulnerabilities are caught instantly. That is what we are paying for. If you are professional then Windows tablet can make your life easier. We will go ahead with some points before buying a tablet. And then move ahead to check out the final models. I am going to take almost all good models which are available till date.
