What are you going to use it for?

First of all, think about the main use you are going to give the device . Are you going to use it mostly to play? To watch videos? Simply to browse the Internet and see the mail? Or is it going to become a new essential work tool? Depending on the use you are going to give, you will be interested in investing more in one aspect or another of the tablet. Always keep this in mind when comparing and choosing a tablet.

Compare apps and operating systems

Which applications do you think you are going to use the most? Make a list of your essentials and then check if they are available in different operating systems ( Android, iOS, Windows Phone ). When they are missing, take a look also at the alternative applications that do exist and if they would be worth it. Who wins? Choose operating system.

Compare technical characteristics

Knowing which platform you prefer the election is easier, especially if you have decided that you want an iOS device. Select the main tablets with that operating system and compare the different technical features, taking into account the use you are going to give them. If you are going to edit a lot of image you are interested in a screen with good resolution, for very heavy games and fast graphics, good RAM and powerful processor ; to work a good suite of work and security apps; to simply browse and check the mail, a good processor that makes everything faster.

Compare sizes and designs

You have already selected the tablets that suit you best because of their technical characteristics in the operating system you prefer. Now compare their sizes and designs : if you are going to have the tablet always at home, the big ones are better to see the webs and videos well. If you are going to take it with you always, surely a 7-inch is more manageable. Which is also more beautiful? That the design you like is also important!

How much do you want to spend?

And finally, although surely you had it always in mind when making the selection, how much do you want to spend? Compare prices and features and get the tablet that best suits your needs and possibilities.
