What You Get Out Of Windows 7 For Tablets

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



The Difference

The most outstanding difference between Windows 7 for tablets and the other mobile operating systems is that it wasn't specifically designed for tablet PCs in mind. The OS uses a different processor design (one that you would normally find in a desktop, laptop or netbook) so you can not simply take a new tablet made for Android and install Windows 7 in it. IOS and Android, the two most popular mobile operating systems for tablet Computers and smartphones are made specifically for ARM processors, which are basically SoCs (system-on-a-chip) with GPU, RAM, and other elements built in. Windows 7, on the other hand, supports Intel and AMD chips.



Aside from 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, amongst others. As you will notice, Windows tablets have larger storage drives compared to iOS and Android tablets - with some featuring the size of 320 GB HDDs. Other Windows new tablets are kitted out with solid state drives (SSDs) and while technical specs vary from model to model, the hardware is often similar 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's a big chance that you're already familiar 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 standard input strategies (keyboard and mouse) though, then you'd be pleased to know that there's an array of Windows 7 tablets with USB ports. Some are even engineered to be convertible (with a keyboard dock) or composite tablets (with a keyboard built in). What else can you get out of Windows 7 for tablets? Windows applications and Microsoft Office are two things that straight away are evoked.



At any rate, the Windows tablet is cool especially for corpo applications since it is mobile, strong, and versatile. Microsoft is working on its predecessor, Windows 8, and we will see how that fares against the competition. Early tablet PC 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.
