Laptop vs. Tablet – Pros and Cons for Taking Notes

Laptop vs. Tablet Pros and Cons for Taking
Notes

• With back to school on the horizon, its time to
  make a decision about the best way for your kids
  to take notes once class is back in session.
  While laptops used to be the first choice,
  improvements in tablets have made these mini
  computers another popular option. At P.C. Richard
  Son, weve put together some pros and cons to
  help you and your child make the best choice.
• Laptop Benefits
• Theres a lot to like about laptops, which are
  constantly getting better and better. Here are
  some good reasons to buy your returning student a
  laptop
• Simulates a desktop. Laptops come with full
  keyboards, trackpads and have the option of a
  wired or wireless mouse. Their large screens have
  good resolution, which makes taking notes and
  writing papers easy to do. Unlike the touchscreen
  pad of a tablet, a laptops full keyboard is more
  accurate. A laptops screen at 12-17 inches is
  also much larger, which makes developing school
  projects containing photos easier.

Durable. For the most part, laptops are more
durable than tablets. Youre less likely to
scratch or damage the screen than a touchscreen
display. Substantial storage capacity. Laptops
hold significantly more data than tablets. They
also possess multiple USB and memory card ports.

Tablet Benefits Though tablets have only come
onto the scene in recent years, theyre quickly
catching up to laptops in terms of functionality.
Here are the top reasons you may want to choose
one for your child Lightweight. Most laptops
weigh from three to nine pounds, which doesnt
sound like much until youre lugging the device
back and forth in your backpack. The average
weight of a tablet is less than a pound, and they
are thinner and smaller in size.

Intuitive. Many students enjoy the tapping and
swiping of the tablets touchscreen rather than
always having to rely on a keyboard. Better for
eBooks. Tablets are more conducive to reading
virtual books than laptops. They more closely
resemble a real book and you can more easily
relax with them and read. Long battery life. We
all know that kids forget to charge their
hardware and can use that as an excuse for not
completing homework. Tablet battery life averages
about 10 hours, which is two to three times
longer than a laptop. Best of Both Worlds If you
and your back to school student cant decide
between a laptop and a tablet, there are options
that can offer you the benefits of both. They
include opting for a wireless keyboard for the
tablet, which gives you the benefits of
functioning like a laptop. You can also now find
2-in-1 computers that are combining laptops and
tablets into one device. To help you make the
best choice for your child, check out our
