Few people embark on buy a tablet because they saw a good offer and then they regret it, either because it is not up to what they needed, or on the contrary because they spent too much money on a device from which they do not make the most of. For this reason, in this article that we present to you in the form of a brief purchase guidewe will give you the the keys to choosing the tablet which best suits your needs.

Do you need a tablet?
A tablet is a fairly specific product that not everyone needs; Unlike smartphones, which are now part of our daily lives, a tablet is, to begin with, a device that by definition we will not always carry with us for the simple fact that it does not fit in our pocket. In addition, very few people buy tablets with 4G/5G connectivity to be able to connect them to the Internet anywhere, always depending on the availability of WiFi and limiting its use, essentially, at home.
Be careful, because this does not mean that a tablet is not for you, since you can use it perfectly without Internet for many things, such as watching your favorite series if you have previously downloaded them, playing games offline line, read, etc. .

Guide to choosing the best tablet for you
To choose the right tablet for you, you first need to think about what you want to use it for… is it for reading e-books? To watch your favorite series while you cook? For Facebook games? To work? Below we are going to evaluate what we consider to be the most frequent types of use of a tablet, and we are going to take into account aspects such as its screen or its storage, always from our experience and our point of view. view.
- Tablet for working: In this case, you’re interested in a relatively powerful tablet with a decent processor and at least 8 GB of memory. Internal storage will give you a little more equality, since generally the work will be done remotely, but having a large screen will help make the work more comfortable.
- Tablet for designing or drawing: If you want to use the tablet for drawing or designing, it is obviously recommended to look for a model with a stylus. Likewise, a powerful processor and plenty of RAM (8 GB or more if possible) are recommended, but the most important thing here is the screen: the larger and with higher resolution, the better.
- Gaming tablet: Here you are mainly interested in power supply and battery. Therefore, you should look for a model with a good processor, at least 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage to be able to install a few games. As for the screen… honestly, they sell tablets with astronomical resolutions but in the end to play on a relatively small screen like that of tablets, it is better to opt for Full HD which looks great and the games will have better performance. As for the battery…well, the bigger the better.
- Tablet for simple games: By singles, we mean Candy Crush types and Facebook singles, for example. In this case you do not need great power, but from experience we tell you that these types of applications usually consume the RAM of the device, so 8 GB of RAM should be the goal, leaving the size of the memory a little to everyone’s taste. screen and resolution. You won’t need a lot of storage, with 32GB in abundance.
- Tablet for multimedia entertainment: If you just want the tablet to watch YouTube videos while lying on the couch or watch Netflix while you prepare food, you can opt for relatively inexpensive models as almost any tablet will suffice for this. Of course, look for a large screen for greater comfort.
- Tablet for “a little bit of everything”: In fact, and although it may seem absurd, it is the most common case of those who buy a tablet. What we are going to tell you if you are looking for a tablet to use a little of everything is “better than more”, in the sense that if you start using it for one thing or another, it will immediately fail if you have I opted for a tablet simply because it was cheap. We would tell you that the “standard” would be a screen between 8 and 11 inches, with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage… then the rest, to the consumer’s taste.
