Tablets – will it replace the PC ?
If you’re like me, the tablet PC has become your must-have device on the go. I go everywhere with it and definitely feel like something’s missing when I leave it at home. One question I get asked a lot is whether the tablet is about to replace the PC. The short answer is – not yet. While tablet technology is moving at a rapid pace, we are not at the point yet where tablets can deliver the same power, functionality and features offered by a conventional notebook PC. That’s why the most common use of the tablet is as a complement to the PC.
Some of the differences between tablets and notebooks are one reason we launched our new certification for tablets – TCO Certified Tablets.
The nature and use of tablets is reflected in the criteria of TCO Certified Tablets: high brightness (great for outdoor readability), efficient battery charging, outstanding image quality for example. Along with criteria for social responsibility and environmental design, a TCO Certified tablet offers a sustainable choice.
