In fact, the student party's demand for tablet computers is very different from that of ordinary users. Their budget is relatively limited (except for students with families in the mine), so the cost performance is higher, and they hope to take into account the needs of online classes, note-taking, audio-visual entertainment and games. To put it bluntly, it's just a few things for a dollar.
This demand is not completely unsatisfied, but there are many tablet products on the market at present, and their definitions are also very broad, such as educational tablet, learning machine, iPad and Android tablet according to the system.
For ordinary consumers, they don't know much about these various categories. Some people say that buying a tablet is an iPad, while others worry about the situation of "productivity before buying, love after buying" and simply buy a learning machine. Today, we sorted out some clear questions that some classmates and friends need when purchasing tablet computers, and recommended several products, which I believe will be helpful to everyone's purchase.
Not all students are suitable for educational tablet.
Although for students, the primary purpose of buying a tablet is learning, education is the main function and a big market segment of the tablet. However, the so-called education tablet in the domestic market is actually highly targeted and the price is not cheap. For example, Iflytek Intelligent Learning Machine, BBK Home Education Machine and other educational flat panels usually focus on screen eye protection, with many online classroom resources built in, such as parental supervision, sitting posture correction and so on.
Obviously, such flat-panel products are more instrumental, and the users are also young students such as kindergartens, preschool classes and primary schools. In fact, parents have the right to decide. In fact, the so-called educational tablet, the target users are parents, and many middle school students or college students obviously do not belong to the target users. Therefore, when buying a tablet, you can basically ignore it. The educational tablet is not within the scope of our discussion today.
IPad is still the best solution under budget.
Aside from the educational tablet, when it comes to the tablet, only the iPad and others are left, and even this "other" is often ignored.
Apple refines the iPad product line year by year, with prices ranging from 2,500 yuan to more than 10,000 yuan. With such a rich product line, it is difficult for other brands to squeeze into this market. Coupled with the powerful performance, excellent application adaptation, complete ecology and educational concessions of the iPad, it is indeed the best choice under the condition of sufficient budget.
However, it is precisely because of the increasing number of iPad products that many students and friends are easily confused when choosing. Which product is more suitable for students, iPad, iPad mini, iPad Air or iPad Pro?
Starting from the price after preferential education, it can basically be divided into three thousand yuan stalls for iPad mini and iPad (eighth generation); IPad Air and 1 1 inch iPad Pro； with 4000~6000 yuan gear; And more than 8000 yuan 12.9 inch iPad Pro.
Very simple, the picture is absolutely cheap, so choose iPad (eighth generation). Relatively speaking, its screen will be more common and its performance will be the weakest among all iPad products. If you pay more attention to portability, you can only choose the iPad mini at the same price.
IPad Air and 1 1 inch iPad Pro seem to have a large price span, but after Apple updated the iPad Pro this year, the two are actually getting closer and closer in price range, which is also the most confusing.
Although the iPad Air seems to start at 4799 yuan, which is much cheaper than the iPad Pro's 6 199 yuan, the former is only 64GB, while the latter is 128GB. If you choose to buy a 256GB iPad Air, its price will reach 5799 yuan, which is only a little worse than 400 yuan's iPad Pro, but the Pro has a better screen and stronger performance.
So at this time, how to choose the two will have the result. IPad Air is suitable for people who don't require high storage capacity, but also want to get better performance than the eighth generation ipad, and the budget is less than 5000 yuan.
On the contrary, 1 1 inch iPad Pro is a better choice in the price range of 6000 yuan. Not to mention the 12.9-inch iPad Pro. There is no budget in the dictionary of the buyer.
Finally, if you want to buy iPad Air or iPad Pro, you can wait for Apple's recent back-to-school promotion. The United States and Canada have already started, and China should start in July.
Back-to-school promotion is an annual activity of Apple, which usually starts during the summer vacation and lasts until September. Compared with the existing educational concessions, the gift of AirPods headphones is mainly superimposed. Other offers and purchase conditions are exactly the same, but iPad Standard Edition, iPad mini and refurbished products do not meet the conditions of back-to-school promotion, that is, headphones are not sent.
Android tablet also has its own existence value.
For students and friends, it is of course good to start with the iPad directly, but through the above analysis, I believe everyone can see that the average price of the iPad is still above 3,000 yuan or 4,000 yuan after the education discount, and the cost is still high for some students. Only the iPad product line can not fully meet the needs of the majority of students, which is why there is still a lot of market space for Android tablets.
Specifically, the Android tablet computer has a keyboard+stylus set, which increases the storage capacity and lowers the threshold. If it is a non-Apple ecosystem, then the Android tablet is much more convenient in file copying and resource synchronization. In addition, the Android tablet gradually got rid of the past problems, and Samsung, Huawei, Lenovo and other big companies continued to invest, and made great progress in performance configuration and experience optimization.
At the same time, the Android tablet also has the advantages of high cost performance and strong openness. Here we also talk about several products, some of which may meet your needs.
202 1 Huawei MatePad Pro 10.8 inch
Reference price: 3799 yuan (8+ 128GB)
Outside the iPad, the most concerned tablet brand should come from Huawei, especially Huawei brought MatePad Pro series, which made its tablet products reach a new level in performance configuration and overall quality, and became the representative of high-end tablet products.
2021matepadpro10.8 "is a new product recently launched by Huawei at the HarmonyOS System Full Scene Conference, which is equipped with HarmonyOS System 2. Compared with the previous generation, its biggest change is that the Kirin 990 processor was replaced by Qualcomm Snapdragon 870, and 5G was cut, but the WiFi version was kept. In addition, it also supports WiFi 6 and UFS 3. 1, and the initial memory is increased from 6GB to 8GB.
In the aspect of audio-visual entertaiNMent, it has the advantage of four speakers and supports up to 256GB of nm card expansion storage. The screen is an IPS full screen with equal width and four sides, with a 2K resolution LCD screen, which supports P3 wide color gamut. The disadvantage is that it only has a refresh rate of 60Hz. In addition, the 7250mAh battery also supports 40W wired +27W wireless+10W wireless reverse charging, which is also a highlight.
The advantage of Huawei tablet is that it makes up for the adaptation problem of third-party applications through multi-screen collaboration, parallel vision and other functions. Under Huawei's ecology, you can also get functions such as dragging and dropping computer files in batches and synchronizing files.
With the second generation of Huawei M-Pencil of 599 yuan, it supports a good writing experience such as 4096-level pressure sensitivity, 20ms delay and profile writing. In other words, in the early 4000 yuan, you can get the combination of the flagship large-screen tablet and the stylus.
Lenovo Xiao Xin Pad Plus 1 1 inch
Reference price: 1699 yuan (6+ 128GB)
Among the big-name Android tablets, Lenovo Xiao Xin Pad should be the most economical choice at present, especially the Lenovo Xiao Xin Pad Plus with Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G processor upgraded this year, and its performance has improved compared with the old Xiao Xin Pad Pro.
Other aspects also have the consistent advantages of Android tablet. The system is Android 1 1,1inch 2K resolution large screen, four speakers, supporting the expansion of the maximum 5 12GB memory card and OTG function, Type-C interface, 7700mAh battery supporting QC3.0 fast charging and so on.
Of course, the shortcomings are not without, that is, the adaptability of third-party applications is not good, and Lenovo's coping style forces horizontal screens, resulting in black edges on some applications. However, under this configuration, the price around 1600 yuan can still be won, which is really attractive for students and friends with tight budgets.
Lenovo Xiao Xin Pad Pro 1 1.5 inch
Reference price: 2699 yuan (6+ 128GB)
202 1 Lenovo Xiao Xin Pad Pro also brought a big upgrade. The processor has a high-pass Snapdragon 870, 2K+ resolution organic light-emitting diode screen, a 90Hz high brush, four front and rear cameras supporting fingerprint unlocking, four JBL speakers and a full-featured USB-C interface. The battery is extended to a larger 8600mAh, and even the fuselage is made of aluminum alloy, integrated with CNC, which is quite a veritable Pro.
As we said earlier, the current problem of Lenovo's tablet products is that it has not completely solved the problem of third-party APP adaptation. At the same time, although it also supports stylus, the writing experience is not as good as Huawei tablet and iPad, but Lenovo tablet has the advantage of higher cost performance. If it is mainly audio-visual entertainment, it will be enough to achieve expectations.
To put it simply, compared with iPad, the current differentiation advantage of Android tablet is big screen+large storage expansion+cheaper price. In fact, in recent years, in order to form differentiated competition with the iPad, the Android tablet is indeed developing in the direction of strengthening audio-visual entertainment and performance upgrading.
Xiaomi tablet 5, realme Pad and vivo tablet are also on the way. I believe that their appearance can better promote the growth of Android tablet, and also contribute to the continuous improvement of Android tablet experience under competition, which is expected to bring higher cost performance.
