The inspiration for creativity can come from the little things in life. Whether you’re an artist, designer, filmmaker or photographer, it’s important to be able to capture these moments no matter where you are. Nothing excites you more than being able to take your work outdoors, so being mobile is also extremely important.
A tablet is the dream device that offers an interactive touch screen to allow you to create anywhere. Tablets running on the Intel Atom Processor Z2760 are designed to run some multi-media applications while allowing you to produce amazing visuals anywhere, anytime.
Today’s tablet devices offer a dynamic range of capabilities that deliver unique and personal computing experiences. We now have in our hands amazing possibilities to be entertained, stay connected, learn and work on the go.
With a variety of tablets to choose from, the question is ‘which one is right for me?’
There are a couple of key considerations that you should keep in mind. Understanding why each of the following matters in a tablet, and how they fit into your lifestyle, will help you make the right purchasing decision in store.
Portability
Tablet devices come in various stylish, thin and lightweight designs. One of the key attractions of a tablet is its portability. Make sure you pick a size that’s practical and suited to how you will use it. Consider screen size as well as how you will carry it – in a pocket, handbag, or briefcase.
You’re going to need a tablet with a decent screen size that offers a stunning visual experience so that you don’t miss the details in your work. The ASUS Vivo™ Tab falls in the larger category with an 11.6” screen, but weighing in at only 675 grams and measuring 8.7 mm, you won’t have to compromise between viewing capabilities and portability.
Processor
This is the ‘brain’ of your tablet. While tablets don’t differ much on the surface, it is what’s inside that will determine the overall performance of the device. More powerful processors will allow faster and smoother performance from your applications (watching video, surfing the web, etc.) while less powerful processors will give you slightly slower response times.
A powerful processor such as the Intel Atom Processor Z2760 can help bring your most creative ambitions to life. Tablets running on this Atom processor, transforms your computing experience to help boost productivity. Utilizing the multitasking capability of Intel architecture, you will experience fast response, allowing you to load and switch among your favourite applications in a flash.
Battery life
Typical battery life for tablets range from eight to ten hours, depending on how you use them. Lower-power processors will give you a longer battery life, so keep an eye out for Intel® Atom™ processor-based tablets in stores. If you need the tablet to go above and beyond, look for one that comes with battery extension packs and you won’t have to worry about running out of power.
Battery life cannot be overlooked and can play an important part in making your tablet purchase. Tablets built on Intel Atom Processor Z2760 can run up to 13 hours2 with up to three weeks of standby so you can confidently take your tablet on your outdoor projects.
Storage
This is where you save your work, research, photos, music and movies. Tablets are generally more restricted in storage space when compared to laptops. Check out what’s built-in (e.g. Intel® Atom™ Z2760 processor based tablets come with Embedded Multimedia Card 4.41 (eMMC 4.41)), and if you need more, it is advisable to look for models that offer expandable storage such as micro-SD, micro-USB ports, or look at convertible laptop options.
With the amount of content you consume and produce, you’re going to need a tablet that can hold plenty of images and videos. At the larger end of the scale, tablets with up to 64GB of storage should be your first choice.
Features
Tablets have become tremendously versatile with a variety of features available to suit your needs. Tablets with attachable keyboards (“convertibles”) can instantaneously allow you to create content with your device. High quality cameras allow you to capture photos and videos on the go and quality visual and audio capabilities can turn your tablet into an immersive entertainment device. Built-in security is also important to ensure you have a secured tablet experience. These features vary within each tablet and should be considered based on your usage requirements.
Tablets with touch screens that have a number of ways to control the screen (finger, stylus, etc) are a great advantage for those who are creating on the go. The natural touch interface will provide a simple and intuitive computing experience that’s not only fun but also frees your creativity. Also, tablets that come with digital styluses open up a new world of creative possibilities, allowing you to draw, write and create wherever you are.
To improve the viewing experience of your work, the tablets such as the ASUS VivoTab™(TF810) offer high-resolution Super IPS display with ASUS TruVivid Technology and Corning® Fit Glass that deliver amazing visual clarity both indoors and out, improved color clarity and superior scratch resistance.
Give these key considerations some thought when you visit your retailer, and even ask them to help you match your profile to the tablets in store.
