Tablets are best devices
for reading, playing games, watching movies and browsing the web. But in all
these activities, the user is a consumer because he/she accesses the
pre-created content. A tablet, whether it is iPad or Android device, it is not
suitable for Windows 8.
Windows 8 was built for
work well on touchscreen devices with its modern UI, while still retaining the
core functionality with the 'Desktop app' which transported you to the windows
interface. There have been plenty of touchscreen laptops running on windows 8,
but they don't offer the portability to tablets.
The Acer W4 is the live
example of massive gap between theory and practicality. In paper, you get the
convenience of windows with added benefit of being customized for touchscreens.
In reality, it's an operating system that fails on both aspects. The difference between windows 8 and Windows RT is also informed.
There are two
personalities in window 8 and updated version windows 8.1. The first is the modern
UI, which features fancy 'live Tiles'. The other is the Desktop mode, which
appears as an app in modern UI.
Modern UI is touchscreen
interface alone and it falters in some aspects when compared to the iOS and
Android. The windows Store simply does not have the same number of apps that
are available on android and because of that, it is impossible to recommend it
for tablet use alone. Unlike the desktop, touchscreen device rely a lot on apps
optimized for touch usage.
