It can hold a four-year degree’s worth of important stuff, including everything from school papers and textbooks to music and movie collections.
Add a keyboard and your tablet can even take the place of laptop, though you’ll want to check with your school to make sure there aren’t specific software requirements a tablet can’t meet. For example, some colleges require students to use Microsoft Office. Normally that would dictate a laptop, but there are two tablets capable of running the suite: Microsoft’s Surface, which conveniently comes with Office, and Apple’s iPad, which requires an Office 365 subscription.
Here are some other things to keep in mind when shopping for a new tablet.
ScreenModels like the Surface and iPad make good choices for students not just because they can run familiar software, but also because they have comparatively large screens. The 10.6-inch Surface, 10.1-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab 3, 10-inch Google Nexus 10, and 9.7-inch iPad are among the tablets offering sufficient space for word processing, at the same time allowing for comfortable Web browsing, textbook viewing, and (during study breaks), movie watching.
