A tablet is a mobile computer larger than a phone or PDA that uses a touchscreen interface rather than a physical keyboard. It often uses an onscreen virtual keyboard, stylus, or digital pen. Tablets offer wireless internet access, email, social media, phone functions, GPS, cameras, ebooks, apps, and media playback. They typically weigh 1-2 pounds and have battery lives of 3-12 hours depending on usage. Pros include thin, light designs, gorgeous displays, and long battery lives. Cons can include sluggish performance, lack of expandable storage, high prices, and limited app selection.
