These days it seems as if everyone wants or has a tablet computer device and the market keeps growing. That is why companies are trying very hard to compete, sometimes even competing with themselves to increase market share. They do this by offering different sizes, styles, and designs even within their own product line.
Trying to find the perfect model and size for the overall consumer base proves to be tedious. It seems that customers want a more customized model tablet and this can widely vary both in size preference, design and features. No individual model encompasses all features coveted because all consumer needs are different.
The three most popular tablet sizes are the 5-inch, 7-inch and 10-inch. The old adage "size isn't everything" doesn't apply when it comes to tablets, however. The difference between a 7-inch and 10-inch tablet, for example, may seem negligible, but it's actually quite significant.
Tablet size is determined by measuring the screens diagonally. What this means to the consumer is that for each size up there is a marked change in the screen area in some cases doubling the size of the overall tablet. This change can make the marketing on paper for such tablets appear misleading.
Of course, each size has its advantages and disadvantages. A 10-inch tablet, for example, will be less compact and therefore less portable than a smaller version. On the other hand, its bigger size has several advantages; the higher resolution and bigger screen makes web browsing more convenient. It is also superior in terms of document creation and sharing, legibility, bigger keyboard, and of course gaming.
The next size down, the 7-inch display tablet, offers many of the larger screen advantages. Watching videos, gaming, photo sharing, etc. will be easy enough but this tablet offers the advantage of being half the size of the 10-inch tablet.
You will not have to do so much resizing of documents with one of these which is a big advantage. On the other hand, one of the drawbacks could be that you may need to resize in order to see a web site on this seven inch tablet screen. And it is not small enough to be held in one hand and usually will not fit into a pocket.
This is where smaller tablets such as the 5-inch come into their element. Although they are probably somewhat larger than a smart phone, they still fit neatly in your pocket, and they have many advantages over a phone in terms of functionality. Their main weakness lies with the smaller screen size, which entails more zooming, but for many people this inconvenience is outweighed by its versatility.
