Want The Works? Try Windows 7 For Tablets

By Paul Barber


What does this have to offer and how is it different from other operating systems? Let's examine it.Compared with other more established or more preferred mobile operating systems, Windows 7 for tablets offers a different kind of user experience. It offers the power and capabilities of Windows 7, absolutely at your fingertips.



The Difference

The most prominent difference between Windows 7 for tablets and the other mobile operating systems is that it wasn't designed for tablet Computers under consideration. The OS needs a different processor design (one that you would routinely find in a desktop, laptop PC or netbook) so you can not simply take a tablet made for Android and install Windows 7 in it. IOS and Android, the two most well-liked mobile operating systems for tablet PCs and smartphones are made specially for ARM processors, which are essentially SoCs (system-on-a-chip) with GPU, RAM, and other elements built in. Windows 7, from another perspective, supports Intel and AMD chips.



Except for the processor difference, Windows 7 for tablets also has got a very different set of minimum hardware requirements: 1 GHz processor, 1 GB RAM, and 16 GB of free disk drive space, among others. As you will notice, Windows tablets have bigger storage drives compared against iOS and Android-based tablets - with some featuring as large as 320 GB HDDs. Other Windows tablets are outfitted with solid state drives (SSDs) and while tech specifications vary from model to model, the hardware is in general akin to that of netbooks.



Familiarity with Windows 7 for tablets

What is the general upside to using a Windows 7 tablet? Well, for one thing, there is an gigantic chance you are already conversant with it and therefore the single thing you'd need to learn is using touch input as the OS has inbuilt support. If you don't plan on abandoning traditional input techniques (keyboard and mouse) though, then you'd be pleased to grasp that there's a wide variety of Windows 7 tablets with USB ports. Some are even built to be convertible (with a keyboard dock) or compound tablets (with a keyboard built in). What else is available so which you can get out of Windows 7 for tablets? Windows applications and Microsoft Office are 2 things that immediately are evoked.



At any rate, the Windows tablet is kind of cool especially for corpo applications since it is mobile, strong, and versatile. Microsoft is working on its previous version, Windows 8, and we shall see how that fares against the competition. Early tablet Computer reviews have high hopes though if some tablet PC news reports are going to be thought, it's still some months before we see it.
