The Acer Iconia X12 tablet offers an outstanding blend of entertainment and productivity. This article will introduce the benefits of a tablet and the features and specifications of the Acer Iconia X12. Tablets are portable, all-in-one devices with a sensitive touchscreen. They are typically used for playing games, taking pictures, browsing the web, and reading electronic books. They are built for mobility, offering a happy medium between a smartphone and a laptop.

What are the benefits of an Android tablet?

With so many devices on the market, it can be tough to know which is right for your needs. There are significant differences between tablets, smartphones, and laptops, with unique advantages to each. Laptops tend to be bigger and offer more robust computing abilities with more memory storage, making them ideal for multitasking, whereas tablets are smaller and less suitable for intense work sessions. Here are some benefits of a tablet and why they may be a top choice for your needs.

1. Android vs. Windows and Chrome tablets

Android tablets like the Acer Iconia X12 are known for their simplicity, ease of use, and affordability. They also provide access to a huge range of apps via the Google Play Store, which are optimized to run directly on Android devices. While Windows and Chrome tablets are compatible with Android apps, they may not run as smoothly as they are scaled down for their respective operating systems. Chrome tablets are designed for web-based use and therefore tend to rely on using apps in the browser. As such, Android tablets offer a superior choice and quality for entertainment, games, and other apps than Windows and Chrome devices.

2. Lightweight and portable

Tablets are lightweight and portable, with most tablet devices weighing under two lbs (0.90 kg), so you can comfortably carry them in a handbag or purse without noticing much extra weight. This makes them an excellent travel companion, allowing you to take photos and videos to document your trip. Moreover, playing games or watching movies on a tablet is a great way to beat boredom on long journeys or commutes.

3. Long battery life

One major advantage of a tablet device is its long battery life. This is because the hardware components within a tablet consume less power than a laptop, which have a smaller sized battery and more components. Some tablets can last over 12 hours on a single charge, depending on usage, which is enough to get you through a long flight or day of classes.

4. Designed for games and videos

If you enjoy playing games, watching videos, and listening to music, then a tablet might be for you. Tablets are less capable of multitasking and flicking between apps than a laptop but still offer good performance for light tasks like playing games. Moreover, tablets are ideal for note taking during classes and are lightweight enough to carry around in a backpack or school bag. They also support electronic books, helping you save space while still being able to read your favorite novel.

5. Affordability 

Tablets are typically more affordable than laptops. Some budget models may cost USD $100 or less, whereas middle tier tablets with a better performance could be in between USD $200 and USD $400. Premium tablets are priced from USD $500, delivering a higher performance for their price tag.
