【题目】 Which tablet computer should YOU be buying: They are our must have… and there's a style to suit everyone
Best for young children LeapPad Explorer 2,£68
Aimed at children between three and nine(though a nine-year-old might find it a little simple), it comes in pink or blue and with five education games(you can buy more). Besides, the LeapPad can't connect to the Internet-so it is impossible for your child to stumble across anything improper. Pros: The education games are well-designed, the video camera is a fun way to play at being a film director. Cons: Some of the games are very expensive. And the power adaptor(适配器)is not included. |
Best for teenagers iPad 4th Generation,£399-£659
The iPad is still the market leader. If the teenager in your house enjoys playing computer games, the latest offering from Apple is the one to choose. Pros: No other tablet can compete with the near one million ' apps'(the name Apple created for specially-designed downloadable programs) available for the iPad. Simple to use, even for those who usually struggle with technology. Cons: Considerably more expensive than most competitors. |
Best for working parents Microsoft Sur face,£399-£559
Tablets are wonderful for leisure-but what if you want to do a bit of work? No tablet can yet compete with a full-size laptop computer, but this is the only tablet that allows you to use Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint(they are all pre-installed and included in the price) and you can buy a pretty lovely mini-keyboard for typing letters and emails, which also doubles up as the cover. Pros: The Surface is good for watching movies-a pleasant thing when stuck in the airport on a business trip-and surfing the Internet. Con: The keyboard is an expensive add-on-costing up to £109. It might be cheaper to buy a laptop(though a tablet is much smaller and lighter). |
Best for bookworms Amazon Kindle Paperwhite, £109
Nearly all tablets let you download books. It's a great way to take a great pile of hardbacks(精装书)on holiday without filling your suitcase. But most tablets have a shiny screen-which can be very unpleasant when you're trying to read. The Paper White is different: its matt screen and crisp black lettering copy the look of words on paper brilliantly. And yet you can still read the words in the dark. Pros: Easy, on the eye, excellent battery life, 180, 000 free books(if you pay for the Amazon Prime customer loyalty service)plus hundreds of thousands more to buy. Cons: No TV, films, games, Interact or camera. |
