Customers make the choice of a particular tablet model, based on different characteristics of the device. In addition to the operating system, internal memory and other technical characteristics, the user often pays attention to the screen size. There are generally accepted standards for the largest monitors, which will be discussed below.
What are the sizes of tablets in inches
There are several options for sizes of diagonal tablets in inches. For example, a table is presented where dimensions are presented in inches and centimeters. Basically, of course, measured in inches.
7 inches. Small tablet, fully performing its mobile functions. Slightly more mobile in size. Good for touchscreen gaming. You do not have to move the brush, just grab the device on both sides. A good choice for children and those who travel frequently and prefer to take gadgets with them. As for typing, this will have to be sacrificed, because the keyboard will take up most of the screen, but the buttons will still remain small. There are representatives with a ratio of 3 to 4 and 16 to 10.
8 inches. A slight increase in the previous version. It resembles a standard book in size, therefore reading or recording will be the most convenient on such a device. Mobility remains, but watching movies is not the best use of such a screen. On the sides of the image, most likely, there will be black stripes. Like last time, there are two types of resolution with such a diagonal - 3x4 and 16x10.
9 inches. Slightly increased the previous version, is found only with the ratio of lengths to width 16 to 10. It is rare, and will not do much weather, you need to choose with an eye to other signs.
9.7 inches. This format is considered standard for iPads. The screen is too big to play on the touch screen, but if you connect a joystick, the problem will be solved. Watching movies and typing is much easier. But do not forget that the development of each pixel takes the power of RAM, therefore, the wider and higher the screen, the more energy is spent on image output. Some users complain about the weight of the gadget. This choice is great for office work.
10, 1 inch. The tablet is rather heavy for standard manipulations, but it is perfectly suitable for watching movies - the aspect ratio is ideal for video formats. For all other purposes it will not be very convenient.
12+ inches. Rare representatives of the family of tablets, the size of the monitors are comparable with the dimensions of the laptop display. It is impossible to call this device mobile, the large size pays off the inconvenience and fragility of the structure.
What are the sizes of tablets in centimeters
Designations in centimeters are more understandable and familiar to residents of the Russian Federation, but there are no fundamental differences between inches:
- 17.8 cm. The smallest type of tablet corresponds to 7 inches. Mobile, well suited for games, fits in your pocket. The ratio of length and width is 151x94 mm.
- 20.3 cm. The size is already bigger, resembles a book. It will fit in a small bag, it is well adapted to use as a "reading room". The length and width, respectively 163h122 mm.
- 23 cm. Mediocre, "standard" option. If you use the tablet as a guide to the Internet without attracting third-party functions, then 9 inches is the most suitable choice.
- 24.6 cm. Such a choice is already considered quite large, the most for office work or constant text editing. Aspect ratio: 197x148 mm.
- 25.7 cm. Enlarged "office" screen. It is much more convenient to watch movies on such a “giant”, but weight can be inconvenient. Screen 217x136 mm.
The largest and smallest tablet
In addition to the generally accepted size, there are outstanding representatives of "mobile computers", which were created not so much for the sake of functionality, but more to participate in the competition for sizes.
The world's largest tablet - Ardic Technology London Edition. It will not be able to take it with you on the road, put it in a bag, in a briefcase, carry it into the house, lift it up. Its diagonal is 383 inches, and working on such a hulk is mildly, inconveniently speaking. A giant keyboard for typing is attached to the giant, but it does not solve the problem.
The smallest working tablet in the world is a car LEXAND SB5 HD. Diagonal - 5 inches. It is not so different from the usual representatives of its kind, but it is not so easy to place the technological stuffing in a small case. This device is more like a phone in its dimensions.
