When the plates had only Android, and some of these issues have been encountered. But once Windows invaded this segment, successfully invaded, and the question of what is the best operating system for tablets, not nearly as simple as it seems.
Previously on Android tablets were significantly cheaper tablets on Windows, so it was quite clear: Android cheaper, Windows – for those who are more expensive, but with a full-fledged office and “Photoshop”. Now on the market there are models with full x86 processor Intel Atom, as well as with Windows 8.1, and the price is not much different from competitors’ prices on Android. With regard to the application – something similar tools can be found there, and there. And the basic and general – there Chrome, and there Chrome, video players, too, in abundance, the application for reading books … So what’s the difference?
Today is not about that
Of course, there is also a tablet from Apple – iPad but usually buy the ones who does not suffer from a choice at all. Because the choice between black and white iPads … well, not quite that, so to speak.
Google Android conquered the world is incredibly fast. It would seem that only six years have passed – and already world domination no joke. But along with this domination did not disappear the same problems that were in the OS and the year, and five years ago, and in general always. The main problem of Android – the inability to properly dispose of RAM.
That is why the Play Store divorced so many “memory management” that this same memory clean. The most unfortunate of them clumsy clean – just sweep everything possible there, and after a while ‘parasites’ return. Advanced allow you to choose what to touch and what not, which of the applications can be unloaded at all, and which – at the time. But even the automation of this process does not solve the problem.
The plates are heavier than smartphones. And it takes more resources. From tablets usually require a full-screen movie playback and “heavy” three-dimensional full-screen games, which need all the possible memory and longer.
Of course, the device with 2 gigabytes of “RAM” and more easier. Not for long. Because the problem is walking from version to version, and the latest version of Android 5.0 Lollipop is so clumsy today that it is absolutely not recommended to install on the device under 2013. Not only that, everything starts to slow down enormously, so also was uncomfortable, too. However, the latter is irrelevant: the meaning here is that the operating system can not work properly with RAM, and never could. And probably will not learn. Apple iOS is popular not only because it is simple, but also because a single ecosystem allows Cupertino do “little blood” in the system requirements and to do so that the same applications and operating systems work equally well on most iPad / iPhone previous generations and current.
But why is Android so popular Well, if it is as bad as you could probably think? Here come to the fore: a) compatibility, b) price, and c) a huge number of applications, hundreds of thousands, for every taste.
Compatibility – the result of open source – has led to the fact that any honest and not very Chinese can begin to release their tablet for thirty dollars, and it will work the same Android, and that a fair license plate for 200. smartphones it is also true, by the way. In this case, questions of speed and stability sidelined. The aim is to release something cheaper – and people who do not understand the devices that are cheaper and would prefer.
applications, especially for free, Play Store is really a lot. Very much. But sometimes a matter of finding something desired becomes a major problem because of the large selection. On the other hand, you can find a small free and useful utilities that do not exist in the ecosystem of Windows.
But with regard to office work, here are winning Windows-plates, unconditionally. No matter how widespread cloud office systems such as Google Docs, most are still good old Microsoft Office, which in Android can not say that was functional to some extent, the nominal “open and bukovku correct.” Rather, in this ecosystem more different imitators and frankly weak systems: compatibility and versatility, a set of tools for formatting and generally work with complex documents leaves much to be desired.
In addition to the Android-tablet can not connect a standard printer USB adapter, even with full-on USB, support for which happily report after all Android 4. Supports, and to sense something?
About inhouse movies theoretically possible to put the two systems on an equal number of points. Yes, full-length Full-HD-movies and you can watch it. Exactly to the moment when you want something non-standard – for example, with subtitles or a different track, especially plug-in in a separate file, or else all in an exotic format. In Windows, these problems can be solved much easier, which is not the Android.
