In terms of specifications, the first thing that I would look at is the tablet's operating system. Since it's the life of the device, it is definitely a must to choose an OS that it . Second is the tablet's memory. Considering the future files that I would have to save, choosing a tablet with extensive memory to be able to store lots of media files. Third, tablet's size and weight. I would look for a tablet which would not be hassle to bring. Fourth, its wireless connectivity. Taking into account the videos that we would have to watch online and videos and files to be downloaded, I would pick a tablet that has ensured Wi- Fi connectivity. And lastly, I think it is also necessary to look on the battery life of the tablet. As student, the battery life of my tablet would have an impact on the quality of my outputs in class.
Choosing a tablet should be carefully carried out. After looking in to the specifications and features of the tablet that I would buy, the question on how would I buy it is the next in line. The process of purchasing the tablet online seems to be interesting.
Online purchasing is making use of the internet to buy products and services. Convenience is the biggest benefit that I could get from this. Purchasing a tablet online would entail advantages and disadvantages. On its benefits, I could shop anytime and anywhere. Through online shopping, learning and comparing the features and specifications of the tablets of different brands. From their operating systems up to their battery life, online shopping could be the most efficient way to observe these things before choosing which tablet would I buy. However, the disadvantage of this would be the lack of physical purchasing experience where I could hold the products. I think that based on my above listed considerations in purchasing a tablet, things that are most likely a compromise would be the tablet's size and weight since I could not really tell the best size and weight for me by simply looking at mere numbers.
Meanwhile, in as much as it provides the buyers more convenience, websites could be unfriendly, scammy, or complicated. It also fails to give sales assistance. Shipping could be delayed. And, you might not really get what you want.
Certainly, purchasing a tablet online has perks and disadvantages. But, I think it's all about looking at the specifications and features of the tablet that definitely fit in my needs as a student.
