For sure everyone at least once in my life heard about such a miracle of electronics, like the Apple iPad. But if you are far from modern technologies, you hardly know much about this device. And, most likely, in this case, you may have long since matured the following question: how is the tablet differs from Aipada? After all, in fact, outwardly these devices resemble the same thing. And all because Aypad - this is the tablet.
Many people mislead the fact that the owners of this device in their speech never call the iPad a generalized word "tablet".Thus they emphasize the status and high class of this device. Indeed, the iPad, manufactured by the American company Apple, is undoubtedly the best device among tablet PCs. Leadership is constantly trying to challenge other companies, but so far unsuccessfully. The first positions to this device provide a number of fundamental differences from other tablets. And now we'll figure out what exactly these differences are.
Difference # 1: External appearance of
Despite the fact that in general all the plates are similar, Aypad can be seen from afar. And this does not mean a bright coloring or unusual shape. No. These devices have a simple, but recognizable design. The iPad has a fairly thin aluminum case of silvery color.
Behind is the famous bitten apple - the Apple logo. All models of this PC are available in two versions - black and white. Other tablets may also have an interesting design. But most of them are much cheaper than Aipad, so you can not talk about a strong aluminum case.
Difference # 2: Operating system
And whatever they say, the heart of every computer, let alone a tablet - is the operating system. At the moment on the tablets you can find the following software: Android, Windows 8 or RT, iOS.Each of these OS has its own peculiarities.
But the most common platform is still Android. This operating system is installed on many devices from different manufacturers. It is characterized by extensive personalization capabilities and a large number of supported applications. So, among the tablets on this platform can be noted popular Samsung Galaxy Tab or ASUS MemoPad.
The Windows platform on tablets is quite a promising direction, but still not widely used. Here we see interesting functional and unusual design. The only but significant disadvantage is a very small number of applications and games for installation.
And now we turn to the most interesting - to the iOS platform. After all, the main difference between a tablet and Aipad is just in the operating system. The fact is that the software iOS - is the development of Apple for their own devices. That is, each iPad is equipped with only this OS.It is distinguished by simple, intuitive control and at the same time huge possibilities. It is also important that in the online store App Store there is a huge number of applications for the iPad. And they are all adapted to your device. While on the same Android-devices not all games and applications are played.
You can describe all the nuances of different software for a long time. But you can not exactly say which of the three existing platforms is the best. Each of them has both pluses and minuses. To understand what exactly suits you, it's worth watching the device in operation.
Difference # 3: Display parameters
Any tablet from the iPad will differ also by the screen parameters. On the one hand, an "apple" device of any model will always have a screen of excellent quality. Here, and an excellent matrix and the number of pixels per inch is much larger than that of competitors. Picking up the iPad, you will be fascinated by such a bright and clear image. And if it's a model of the iPod with a Retina display, then there's no words. Depending on the model, the screen size of the iPad varies from 8 to 10 inches. The only "but" is the display resolution. Here it is inferior to many Android devices.
Difference # 4: Functionality and performance
One of the main differences of the usual tablet from the iPad - performance and functionality. Here it should be noted immediately that the advantage of any tablet PC over the iPad is to support an external memory card. So, if the tablet PC on Windows or Android has too little built-in memory, it can be supplemented, for example, with an SD-card. But on the "apple" device will have to do with what is.
You can not just download one of the files from a computer to any Aipad. To do this, you need to install a special program iTunes. Although, if you dig deeper, in this moment you can find pluses. The lack of support for USB, as well as an external Internet modem, is one of the drawbacks. That is, with the connection of peripherals will be difficult. Well, at last it is necessary to say that the Aipades are not "friends" with the flash player. So, online games and many movies on the Internet, reproduced with flash technology, you will not be available. And most other tablets, even the cheapest, are equipped with all these functions.
Having finished the listing of cons, it's worth to say about the amazing property of the iPad, or rather about the features of the operating system: there are no viruses. They are simply not supported. So, you can forget about numerous problems of device protection. In addition, this PC reproduces applications much more stable than its competitors due to a good processor. Often the OS is also updated.
Difference # 5: The cost of
As it is not trite, but the decisive moment in choosing between a tablet and Aipad often becomes the cost. For some, price is an indicator of prestige, and for others, saving is important without loss of quality. Plain tablets based on Windows or Android are from 2 thousand rubles. Naturally, the more options are in the device, the higher the price. But the cost of the most inexpensive Aypad at the moment is 12 thousand and reaches almost forty. Here, the price determines the amount of memory, the parameters and size of the display, and the presence of a 3g module.
Results of
So, let's sum up the above:
- Unlike many other tablets Aypad has a monolithic aluminum case
- Aypad has a high-quality matrix, thanks to which the image is always clear and bright
- Almost all tablet PCs support an external memory card,there is no possibility
- The App Store has many more applications adapted for the device than in the same Windows
- Aypad does not support the flash technology
And finally, A little, but nice nuance: Aypad is one of the most popular devices. Therefore, unlike other devices, you will never have problems in selecting accessories for it. After all, there are entire departments with various trifles especially for "apple" products.
