I have a friend who concerns about should he buy an iPad 2 or some other tablets on Black Friday. The truth about tablet is not all about the hardware! It’s great to have great hardware on a tablet if one decides to play cutting edge games on a tablet. My bet is that most hardcore gamers rather play their games on consoles and computers than on tablets. My friend definitely isn’t a hardcore gamer, and so I don’t think his wanting to buy a tablet is for gaming.
I figure my friend wants a tablet for other reasons and not for playing cutting edge games. These reasons might be watching movies on Netflix, listening to music, using apps, playing casual games, reading news, checking emails, keeping notes, reading ebooks, and other trivial stuffs. Anyhow, I explain to my friend that he should get a tablet according to his content needs, and so should you!
Let say if you have so much contents that are tying to iTunes already, and you also want to use iTunes Match and iCloud, then I suggest you buy an iPad 2. If you have mostly Amazon contents or wanting to invest in Amazon contents such as buying Amazon ebooks, then I suggest you check out Kindle Fire. Of course, there are other tablets besides the two that I’d mentioned, but none of those tablets could beat the two that I mentioned in regarding to contents. For your information though, other tablets might have beefier hardware specifications than iPad 2 and Kindle Fire, and iPad 2 has beefier hardware specification than Kindle Fire.
I hope my friend will buy a tablet that fits his content needs, and so should you! Good luck on finding a super deal for a tablet on Black Friday!
