5 smart ways to get the most out of a tablet
We live in a world where technology evolves faster than most people ever anticipated. And among the many innovations from tech companies, the smart tablet is a versatile gadget. This device has all the features and more than a smartphone would have, and it comes with a screen big enough to serve as an ideal laptop display. But most people buy tablets without learning about their full potential. So for them, here are five ways to use these gadgets effectively.
A wireless remote control
If you have a computer tablet at home, you can use it as a universal wireless remote. All you need to do is download the right third-party apps that can connect to your smart devices at home. This includes the lights, fans, air conditioning, smart speakers, and more. Once you’ve completed the setup, you can seamlessly play music and switch on or turn off other appliances at home via the tablet. Some apps may also let you do this with your voice. This is especially useful when you’re on the move, as you can turn on the device much before you get home. Tablets can also be utilized to control the surveillance cameras when you’re not at home for additional peace of mind.
Secondary monitor
Most modern tablets are capable of working as a secondary monitor. At home, you can connect the tablet to a computer monitor with an HDMI capable. Turning your tablet into a secondary monitor can increase productivity when carrying out work-related tasks. New tablets with technology let users cast the screen onto another wireless display. Furthermore, you can also activate desktop mode on your tablet, which basically makes the tablet a mini-computer. While these features are available on a smartphone, a tablet is a better option, given its bigger screen.
To read books
There’s a different feeling when it comes to reading paperback books. However, getting a copy isn’t always easy, especially if the book was launched in another country. Using an E-reader on your tablet or cellphone can help address this concern. Some applications have millions of authors and their books available for purchase, rent, and even free. But the size of the tablet screen is more than sufficient to read the content easily. You can also use the tablet to digitally read comics, magazines, and newspapers.
A superior art tool
Digital art has picked up over the last couple of years. Furthermore, the introduction of NFTs has become a major incentive for several artists to switch to digital paintings. Here’s where you can use a smart tablet to create digital art anytime, anywhere. All you need are the relevant accessories, a dedicated application, enough battery, and a charger to do the job. The best part? You can even carry the device around and draw while you’re on the move. Art isn’t the only thing possible on a tablet. You can also compose music, write, record, edit videos, and do much more.
Entertainment hub
If you love watching content like web series, movies, and documentaries or wish to stream content for kids, then a smart tablet is an ideal choice. Considering the screen size, one can enjoy the content, whether at home or on the move, without straining their eyes. One can also use the tablet to play games available in the respective (Apple or Android) store.
