Apple iPad Mini 2 vs ASUS vs Acer: 8-inch Tabs To Uncover in Q3

By   |  Top News  |  

As per latest reports, small tablets such as Acer, ASUS, Dell and Lenovo are all gearing up to roll out an 8-inch 1,280 x 800 pixels Android-powered tabs in the third quarter of 2013. This we believe will come as a firm competition for Apple’s yet-to-be-released iPad Mini 2, which is expected to be out in Q4. Up to now, 9-inch devices have dominated the tab market, which makes for over 60 percent of all tabs shipped in 2012. However, in 2013, the smaller tablets are likely to report for over 60 percent of shipments. The success of 7.9-inch iPad mini tabs could be the main factor boosting the shift to 8-inch tablets. With a range of smaller tabs all gearing up for the Q3 launch, it seems like we as consumers are going to be in for a spicy treat.

Microsoft Surface Pro 2 Vs Apple iPad 5:The Haswell Chip May Bring Back Microsoft’s Lost Sheen

By   |  Tablets, Top News  |  

A little birdie told us that Microsoft is in plans to roll out its next Surface Pro 2 tab with a built-in Intel Haswell chip. If rumours turn out to be true, the next line of Surface Pro tabs could feature great performance and specifications. Considering the battery life, which was a problem in the original Surface Pro, the Intel Haswell processor could boost it by an extra three hours. That means the Surface Pro 2 will be seen with an improved battery life and may get better than Apple iPad 5. The new Intel chips are smaller, meaning we’ll see even thinner tablets with smaller batteries, which could not be so good for the device’s battery but for now adding a boost to the performance and general power is much more important. The Haswell chips by Intel offer to run some impressive graphics depending on the hardware. But considering [+more]

Microsoft Surface RT Vs Apple iPad : Which if Them is Sinking?

By   |  Top News  |  

We know that Apple still maintains the top spot when it comes to all things tablets, but if you’re looking around in the market for a new tablet, should you go with the trusty iPad 4, or would the Microsoft Surface RT make a good choice to pick up? First impressions: There’s nothing wrong with the way the iPad 4 looks, except there isn’t really anything so eye-catching about it either. But the Microsoft Surface RT looks quite attractive with its colorful exterior. In terms of screen size too, it’s a tad bigger with its 10.1-inch screen in comparison with the iPad 4’s 9.7-inch offering. Processing power: Apple has put in a dual-core 1.4 GHz A6X processor to power the iPad 4. But if you’re more into multitasking and running heavier apps, then the Microsoft Surface RT’s quad-core 1.3 GHz Tegra 3 processor makes more sense for you. Camera: This [+more]

Touted as the iPad Mini killer, the tablet boasts of terrific specs and also comes with Samsung’s now popular S Pen.

By   |  Tablets, Top News  |  

The 10-inch tablet space was pretty much dominated by the iPad, but that was until recently. With Microsoft’s latest Surface tablet making an entry into the competitive tablet market and Google announcing its own Nexus 10-inch tablet, things are getting pretty heated up in this segment too. Today we’re pitting the Microsoft Surface against the Google Nexus 10 to see which of the two would be a worthy buy for you.
