Comparatively recently, tablet computers that have burst into our lives have been used for a long time, primarily for work, watching movies and other simple tasks. To play demanding games, until recently, it was quite difficult for them. But the industry does not stand still, and the term “gaming tablet” has already appeared. Devices in this category are truly the pinnacle of engineering. After all, a tablet is, first of all, compactness. Consequently, the physical dimensions of the components are limited, which significantly affects their performance. Modern technologies have managed to cope with this obstacle and now the best games are pleasing to the eye, even from the screens of compact tablets.
Differences from regular models
When comparing gaming tablets with conventional tablets, there is a tendency to increase speed. Roughly speaking, manufacturers insert “more and more” into their flagship gaming models. First of all, the changes are:
- screen size
- screen resolution;
- CPU;
- video adapter;
- battery.
All this is absolutely logical. After all, modern games require better hardware. A beautiful, clear picture will look good on a large screen with high resolution. In this case, you must also take into account the color rendering quality, which will allow you to enjoy the excellent display of the gameplay.
Perhaps the most important thing on a gaming tablet is the processor. It depends on him the overall performance of the device, and therefore, games. Pay attention to the processor clock speed. The higher it is, the faster the device works.
Well, the last, but no less important parameter of a gaming tablet is the battery. Games use a lot of device resources, forcing its components to be laid out to the fullest. Accordingly, all components in this mode of operation consume a large amount of electricity. Conventional batteries, which are equipped with basic models, are not able to provide such a mode at least for a decent period. And frequent recharges not only create significant inconvenience for the user, but also reduce the battery life.
When considering the characteristics of modern gaming tablets, it becomes clear that the latest solutions and the most powerful components are always used as the filling for such devices. Of course, this approach significantly affects the cost of tablets. Not everyone can afford it. However, in a variety of offers on the market, you can find models related to the budget segment, but in terms of characteristics that are close to the gaming flagships.
A typical example of such a device is the Assistant AP-755G.
The device is rarely ranked as a gaming tablet, but due to its stable operation and the highest level of reliability, the device sometimes still gets on the leaderboards. A quad-core processor with a clock frequency of 1.3 GHz, coupled with 1 GB of RAM, does an excellent job with average tasks. Screen size of 7 inches with a resolution of 1280x800. Built-in memory of 8 GB, with the possibility of expansion fits perfectly into the image of a universal device.
It is worth repeating - the device is very reliable. This was confirmed not only by numerous tests, but also by reviews of real users. Well, of course, it gives a very good performance while working with games. This is certainly not a flagship, but it justifies its price with interest. The cost of the device rarely reaches 5,000 rubles, which immediately puts it on the budget list. The downside of the tablet is considered to be a rather weak 2800 mAh battery, which is simply not enough for active use.
In general, all powerful tablets have a very impressive price tag, which is justified by the use of the most advanced technologies.
To date, a list of the most powerful and productive tablets in the world has been formed. It includes devices that are very expensive, and it is quite difficult for the average user to use all their features. Their appearance is primarily due to the desire to show what modern industry is capable of.
Figure 1. Apple iPad Pro 10.5
Perhaps the most advanced and powerful tablet is the Apple iPad Pro 10.5. This device fully controls the entire process, preventing even the most difficult games from affecting performance. The latest Apple A10X 2360 MHz processor and 4 GB of RAM will be responsible for this. A large screen of 10.5 inches will transmit everything in the best quality. The cost of the tablet varies from 45,000 to 55,000 rubles. It depends, first of all, on the amount of internal memory.
Figure 2. Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet
Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet is considered very powerful, which has absorbed the power of a real desktop computer. It has an eight-core processor with a frequency of 2000 MHz and 3 GB of RAM. This is a very impressive indicator, given that even some PCs do not reach such parameters.
An innovative screen will allow you to enjoy a picture in 2k resolution, and a powerful battery will keep all this in working condition for quite some time. Of course, the price of the device is very high and is at around 40,000 rubles.
