Best Tablet PC 2016
The problem with notebooks and laptops are that they are too unwieldy to be carried around with you. Two much more mobile options have emerged to fill the need for mobile computing. The netbook and tablet PCs.
Had you asked me in 2009, I would have recommended going with a netbook, but the release of Apple's Ipad in 2011 has been a giant technological leap forward for tablet PCs, taking the whole industry forward with it.
In best tablet PC 2016 we are going to review some of the top new tablet PCs on the market.
Apple iPad

The operating system for the iPad is the same as that used in the iPhone and iPod. This ensures compatibility with various iPod and iPhone applications.
The iPad provides great support for web browsing and emailing using the Wi-Fi. The built-in Safari browser allows quick loading of web pages. This makes web browsing a very enjoyable experience.

The device also provides more than enough support for video viewing, playing games and listening music. It is a very powerful device that has the ability and potential to replace laptops for the usual mundane tasks.
The battery life of the device is also very impressive. It gives you 10 hours of web surfing or active use and the charge holds for a month if you don't use it.
