Whether you like it or not, Tablets PCs are here to stay and sooner or later you will most likely be buying one of these devices. Today there are twenty some choices available but count on new introductions to take that number steadily higher.

The Use of the Tablet - What is your purpose for buying a tablet? This question is similar when buying a laptop computer. Will it be for entertainment, productivity or another reason? No single device will be the “best” in all categories but finding one that comes closest to meeting your needs should be your goal. This includes determining how large of a screen is needed. Most Tablets come in sizes from 7 to 12 inches with varying resolutions. If it is to be used for video and picture display, then you may want a larger device with a higher resolution. However if the device will be managing email and other communications, smaller may be sufficient. The weight of the device also becomes important. Many consumers purchased the nice 17” or higher laptop screens but found them cumbersome to carry around and the same mistake shouldn’t be made with a Tablet.
