How to choose a tablet with a SIM card?

Tablets on the market - a dime a dozen, even in small retail outlets meet 3-4 dozen models. What to say about the large stores! But salespeople there are not prodigious: they can talk you into buying the most expensive model, most of the features that you do not need in the future. So you have to go to the store prepared: have a "weapon" - the criteria on which you will be guided:

1. Diagonal: The right numbers will tell you with your eyes. The optimal option for comfortable watching movies and reading will be a 10-inch tablet.
2. Proportion and resolution: If you need the gadget exclusively as a mini-screen for sitting for movies, then 16:9 will suffice. But the universal is considered 3:4: the quality of the picture will be noticeably better. If there is a financial possibility - do not be stingy and buy a tablet with 1920x1280 resolution (it will be labeled Full HD).
3. MaterialThe latter is lighter and nicer to the hand, but it gets hot during long hours of work. The latter is lighter and nicer to hands, but it gets hot during long work and is likely to crack when dropped from a height. The metal case withstands shocks but it has a disadvantage too, or rather two: it weakens the wireless signal reception (but you can handle it) and it weighs more. Significantly more.
4. Battery: More capacity - you'll be able to "rube" online poker or watch clips longer. Note that even the best batteries lose their capacity over time, so it is better to choose a model with a battery replacement option.
5. Matrix. There are several. SuperIPS - the queen of matrixes to date, and expensive rarity, alas. MVA pleases both contrast and clarity, and, in general, is almost perfect, if it were not for the minimal, but sluggishness in the action (which for gamers will be noticeable). IPS is a decent viewing angle, and remarkable image clarity, and the absence of harmful screen flicker. However, it also "eats" a lot of electricity.
6. Operating system: And here a lot of copies are broken by fans of the operating system. Fans of iOS point to the stability of the work and the constant updates, fans of Android admire the flexibility of settings and the mass of different kinds of applications, fans of Windows - these are the fans of laptops, which in the tablet want to see a familiar to the eye interface.
7. RAM: The more of it, the faster the gadget will run. So feel free to pass by models with 1-2 GB: here, as they say," no porridge will be cooked. But 4 GB - that is another matter. By the way, it also concerns the physical memory: if you have money for a model with increased capacity - do not be greedy, otherwise you will complain later that there is no place to store the content (and there is always more than it seems).
8. Additional features. Such as accelerometer, GPS, thermometer, and the like, are chosen solely according to your taste. Each manufacturer has its own "chips" and each increases the price of the tablet.
