There are several sizes of diagonal tablets in inches. For example, a table is presented, where the dimensions are presented in inches and centimeters. Mostly, of course, measured in inches.
7 inches. A small tablet that fully performs its mobile functions. A little bigger mobile phone in size. Good for touch screen games. No need to move the brush, just grab the device from two sides. A good choice for children and those who travel often and prefer to take gadgets with them. As for typing, you have to sacrifice this, because the keyboard will occupy most of the screen, but the buttons will still remain small. There are representatives with an aspect ratio of 3 to 4 and 16 to 10.
8 inches A slight increase in the previous option. The size resembles a standard book, so on such a device the most convenient would be reading or keeping notes. Mobility remains, but watching movies is not the best use of such a screen. Black bars are likely to remain on the sides of the image. As last time, there are two types of resolution with such a diagonal - 3x4 and 16x10.
9 inches The slightly enlarged previous version is found only with a ratio of length to width of 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 for games 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 up the power of RAM, therefore, the wider and higher the screen, the more energy is spent on outputting the image. Some users complain about the weight of the gadget. This choice is great for office work.
10, 1 in. The tablet is heavy for standard manipulations, but 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. Rarely found representatives of the tablet family, the size of the monitors of which is comparable to the dimensions of the laptop display. This device can’t be called mobile; large sizes pay off with the inconvenience and fragility of the design.
What are the sizes of tablets in centimeters
The designations in centimeters are more understandable and familiar to residents of the Russian Federation, but there are no fundamental differences between the 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 larger, resembles a book. It fits in a small bag, it adapts well in use as a “reader”. Length and width respectively 163x122 mm.
- 23 cm A mediocre, “standard” option. If you use the tablet as a guide to the Internet without third-party functions, then 9 inches is the most suitable choice.
- 24.6 cm Such a choice is already considered quite dimensional, the most is for working in the office or constantly editing text. Aspect ratio: 197x148 mm.
- 25.7 cm Enlarged "office" screen. Movies on such a “giant” are much more convenient to watch, but weight can be inconvenient. Screen 217x136 mm.
The largest and smallest tablet
In addition to the generally accepted sizes, there are outstanding representatives of “mobile computers” who were created not so much for the sake of functionality, but more to participate in the competition in size.
The world's largest tablet - Ardic Technology London Edition. He can no longer be taken with him on the road, put in a bag, in a briefcase, brought into the house, lifted. Its diagonal is 383 inches, and working on such a giant is, to put it mildly, uncomfortable. 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 the car LEXAND SB5 HD. The diagonal is 5 inches. It is not so much different from ordinary representatives of its kind, but it is not so simple to place technological stuffing in a small case. This device is more like a phone in terms of size.
