Tablets & laptops stories - Page 11

Among the most popular devices in the corporate and arguably home environment, laptops and tablets are the weapon of choice for most computing tasks. Dominated by Microsoft and its Windows operating system, laptops are produced by a wide number of manufacturers and typically feature purpose- designed processors from Intel or AMD; tablet computers are similar to laptops but lack a dedicated keyboard and are often ‘stripped down’ with lighter weight and somewhat reduced capabilities. Windows’ domination as an operating system has not extended to tablets, which typically run Android or Apple’s iOS.
