Their more compact designs mean that they can be carried easily and held in one hand, and their processing speed is enough to rival a full sized tablet. With mini-tablet offerings available from a range of popular electronics brands, it\u2019s not surprising that they\u2019re popular.<\/p>\n<h2>Who offers mini tablets?<\/h2>\n<p>Tablet selling giant Apple offers an iPad mini, with almost all of the high performance features of a full sized iPad, including a retina display, in a smaller box. Other retailers include Google, with the Nexus 7, the Amazon Fire HDX, also 7 inches, and Samsung\u2019s Galaxy Tab. More budget retailers such as Evga are also offering small tablets at low prices.<\/p>\n<div class=\"omc-video-container\" style=\"margin-top:20px;\"><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"349\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hs_F9rJs81I\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h2>Why chose a mini tablet?<\/h2>\n<p>\u2022 The iPad mini now has almost the same <b>processing specifications<\/b> as the larger iPad Air, with the only real difference being the size of the casing, and other mini tablets are becoming similarly high performance tools.<br \/>\n\u2022 There\u2019s also the question of cost: the iPad mini costs \u00a380 less than a standard iPad and \u00a3150 less than the basic iPad Air, and given that it sports a dual core processor more powerful than most computers a decade ago, whether or not to pay the extra is largely going to come down to aesthetics rather than a need for more power.<br \/>\n\u2022 Mini tablets tend to be around 7 inches in size, compared to larger siblings sized 8 inches or more, and this can make them more portable. On the other hand, with the rise of \u201cphablets\u201d and large screen phones at around 6 inches, if portability is a concern, a phone may be a better choice.<br \/>\n\u2022 <b>Ebook reading<\/b> is one area where mini tablets are definitely a great choice: whilst phones may be a little bit too small and a full size tablet a touch too big, a mini tablet is about the same size as a conventional paperback. Given the wide access to ebooks from a range of retailers, this means any mini tablet can become a high performance e-reader which fits comfortably in your hand and has a range of extra features like email and social networking.<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Mini tablets have come to replace e-readers due to their combination of small, portable size, and great functionality.
