Which Tablet is Good for College Students?

Last updated on January 31, 2016 by Peter

People nowadays don’t want a heavy and bulky device to carry to college just because it does the task. So, laptops are being replaced by tablets gradually. Tablets are much more portable and you can get a much better battery life on them. In general, tablets last from 8-11 hours, whereas laptops last for 4-7 hours.

A good tablet for college isn’t necessarily to be the more expensive ones, i.e. iPad or Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 edition). You can actually find tablets for a lower price that can also do similar tasks, e.g. the Kindle Fire HDX.

 

Comments on Kindle Fire HDX as a note-taking device:

Pros:

  • Dual Wi-Fi antenna
  • Quad core processor
  • 1920 * 1200 HD display @ 323 PPI
  • Front-facing HD camera
  • Digital Dolby stereo speakers
  • Mayday 24*7 technical support
  • 16/32/64GB option with 2 GB RAM
  • Amazon app store with over hundred of thousands of apps

 

Cons:

  • No microSD slot
  • Need to add non-Amazon Appstore apps via sideload, no direct access to Google Play store
  • No rear-facing camera (in the Fire HDX 8.9″ model, you do have a rear-facing camera)

 

Conclusion:

If you have a limited budget, then I recommend you getting the Kindle Fire HDX. But, if you have a larger budget, then I suggest tablets like the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition or the Fire HDX 8.9.
