While on-the-go, it's nice to have a computing device handy, but smartphones and phablets are sometimes too small. You need something with enough power to function almost the way a laptop would, but without the bulk and setup of that sort of device. A tablet, such as the ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity Tablet PC can offer portability and flexibility, with built-in media devices and a range of services that make it as handy as it is easy to handle.
Tablets come in a range of sizes and shapes, either with Wi-Fi connectivity or through a dedicated provider like Sprint, AT&T or Verizon. These services require a regular contract like a mobile phone, but they can also get online anywhere and at any time, much like a smartphone can. This will provide the kind of overall use that professionals and casual users alike can truly appreciate.
Available in a range of sizes, picking a screen size is only the first step in choosing the device that's right for you. Ivy Bridge revolutionized the computing power of ultra-slim devices and since then tablets have been able to process more than some laptops at this point without having to tote around bulky or heavy tools. The largest tablets are about 10 inches across - similar in size to a netbook - yet lacking the external keyboard or hinged shell. Some of these have front-facing as well as rear-facing cameras, meaning you can chat online or take pictures and video with a larger mobile device, and then simply upload the content straight to the internet.
Peripherals for tablets are as smart, sleek and small as the devices they're designed to support. In some cases the covers that snap over the screen are actually the keyboards themselves, and mice can fold flat or slip right into the same bag as a tablet without any noticeable change in weight or profile.
