Tablet Computers Aren't Perfect, But Rent to Own is Great Way to Get Your Own

Thanks to the Apple iPad and to a degree, the Amazon Kindle, tablet computers have become all the rage. Today, these trendy gadgets are made by companies such as Dell, HP, and Samsung, who load them up with everything from Android to Windows. Boasting the ultimate in mobility and a slate of useful features, tablets are now viewed as viable alternatives to both personal computers and smartphones. So you've been considering renting one to see if it lives up to the hype? Don't sign that agreement without making yourself familiar with the pros and cons.

Content Consumption on the Go

Ranging anywhere from 5 to 10 inches in size, tablets offer many of the same features you would find packaged in a PC. There are games, tons of apps, music, movies, and convenient access to the internet, which of course, opens the door to an all new world of entertainment. However, the biggest difference from conventional computing is how this functionality is unleashed. Rather than scrolling and clicking, you swipe and tap your way through the experience. For many people, it's a much simpler way to access to the apps and content we use on a regular basis.

While there is a lot to like about tablets, there are also some potential downsides to keep in mind. It's important to know that in comparison to full size computers, these devices tend to be very limited. For example, you don't have nearly the storage capacity, memory, or processing power of a regular computer. There are also no keyboards included. In addition, the software itself is limited. The operating systems and apps are essentially scaled down versions of what you would find in a desktop environment. As a result, some tasks are slow or difficult to complete.

So there you have it. Some of the known pros and cons of tablets. While nothing is perfect, it's fair to say that the good outweighs the bad by far.
