latpop o tablets? The question I asked myself when I started studying. Then, inevitably, I chose a laptop for convenience, specifically a MacBook Air. A better choice was never made, though according to Google, things could change soon. Second as reported from the company during a long chat in fact, the tablets "risk" to replace in all respects what laptops are today. As for portability there is no doubt, they are comfortable: but for the features will it be the same?
COVID-19 or not, according to Google the future of portable devices will not be laptops but tablets. Let's see what the tech giant has to say
During the Android Show, Google's CTO for tablets Rich miner, shared the company's plans for this segment, as well as interesting statistics. It is no secret that the tablet sales in 2020 and 2021 have generally been on the rise, but this was mainly due to the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. For example, in the last quarter, sales dropped significantly as more and more countries return to a more or less normal existence.
However, Miner claims that Google has registered a increase of sales of Android tablets in the second half of 2019, that is, before the pandemic.
We released the first version of the Android tablet in 2011. Tablets were good for content consumption. Media players, YouTube, and other apps worked well enough just to resize this video to a big screen. It stayed that way for a long time but the growth of the tablet stopped. I believe they have now become much better for things beyond content consumption and have been used for creativity and productivity
Miner attributes this to the fact that itablet are becoming more and more suited to some kind of work that previously could not be done. More and more accessories are appearing and the performance at least of the top models is already excessive for the simple consumption of content.
Google believes that the tablet form factor will allow completely new use cases. The analogy the company used is that in the early days of smartphones, people simply moved desktop applications to mobile devices before realizing that use cases and software had to be built from scratch. We remind you that in this context Google is developing Android 12L.
