After appearing on sale inexpensive "pills"Many personal PC users who dream of acquiring a popular mobile gadget have a difficult dilemma. It is quite difficult to decide which is better: to collect enough funds to buy a device from one of the well-known manufacturers, or to save and buy a product at a reasonable price made in China? On the one hand, cheap tablets cause concern, but on the other hand, I don’t want to overpay for a brand. Let's try together to deal with this difficult task.
Arguments against
Могут ли дешевые планшеты быть хорошими?Now on the shelves of online stores are often found such models of "pills", which can only be recommended to purchase a sworn enemy. Sometimes the number of oddities and flaws that some seven-inch monsters demonstrate is simply amazing even to the most experienced user. So I want to ask some manufacturers: "Why release such garbage?" After all, many people who are so interested in cheap tablets that they decided to buy them, after inevitable disappointment, will necessarily complain to their friends, and they will share information with their friends, as a result, the image of the manufacturer will fall below the plinth. I do not know how for you, but for me it remains a real mystery. Not to be unsubstantiated, we note what users who are attracted by cheap tablets may encounter:
- The absence of a Wi-Fi module, although the price tag claims the opposite.
- Low battery capacity.
- Insufficient capacity of RAM.
All this reduces to no the price gain, becauseit is almost impossible to use such “freaks” normally. For those who are interested in how much a tablet costs cheaply, we note that the border between too budget and fairly tolerable models is at the level of about $ 100.
Pros "for"
In the first half of September 2013, BrianKrzhanych, executive director of the giant Intel, in one of his interviews said that today cheap tablets have received the "green light", and soon the price of new devices from this company will still fall below the $ 100 mark. So far, it is not known what operating system they will run under — Android or Windows — after all, Atom crystals can support both Google and Microsoft. It is unlikely that such a well-known company will treat quality with disdain, because the loss of image for today's leaders, unlike Chinese little-known firms, is strictly unacceptable in conditions of tough competition. Among the popular brands, the Nexus 7 8MB from Google, which cost from $ 170, is still leading in price, but will it be able to maintain its position by the end of the year? After all, he recently had a worthy adversary from HP - the seven-inch Slate 7 tablet, which costs about the same level. Time will tell.
Summary
Из всего вышесказанного напрашивается следующий Conclusion: if price is the highest priority in buying a tablet, then it is best to focus on well-known and well-proven seven-inch models of well-known market leaders. Well, if you still interested in gadgets with a large screen, you will have to wait a bit, very quickly the technical revolution will do its job, and prices will continue to fall further. As for the "Chinese", here, with rare exceptions, the saying that the miser pays twice.
