Barnes and Noble Nook a Solid Tablet Choice: 10 Reasons Why - Nook's Long Battery Life a Decisive Selling Point (
Page 2 of 2 )
5. A nice option for kids
Looking
around the tablet space, there aren't many devices on store shelves that appeal
to kids. In too many cases, expensive tablets are simply too sophisticated for
children. But like the Kindle Fire, the Nook Tablet seems like a great option
for kids, since it's cheap, allows access to boatloads of children's book, and
supports movie and music playback. Keep the Nook Tablet in mind for your kids
this holiday season.
6. Extra-long battery life
One of the
Nook Tablet's key selling points is its battery life. In fact, Barnes &
Noble claims the device can deliver 11.5 hours of battery life when reading and
9 hours when watching a movie. The Kindle Fire, on the other hand, offers only
8 hours of reading time and 7.5 hours of video playback.
7. Solid performance
For customers
looking for a cheap tablet with solid performance, the Nook Tablet is a good
option. When Barnes & Noble announced the tablet, the company surprised the market when it said that it would
come with a 1GHz dual-core processor and 1GB of RAM. In other words,
this tablet is built for solid, highly reactive performance.
8. You already have a Nook
Customers who
already have a Nook shouldn't even consider buying a device other than the Nook
Tablet. After all, the experience of reading books will be familiar and all the
titles that customers have already bought will be available for free on their
new tablet. If those folks decided to go with a Kindle Fire or iPad 2, they'd
need to start anew.
9. You won't connect to the Web on
it while away from home
The Nook
Tablet's biggest flaw is its lack of mobile connectivity options. Customers who
want to connect to the Web while on the road with a 3G connection won't be able
to do so. However, if there are consumers who have no plans to do that, why not save the cash on a device that does
connect to 3G or 4G networks and buy the cheaper Nook Tablet?
10. You're an Android fan
Google's
Android platform isn't for everyone, which means there are some consumers who wouldn't
even consider buying the Nook Tablet. But for Android users, the Nook Tablet
seems like a winner. The device exemplifies what makes Android a reliable
mobile operating system that's easy to use and includes some iOS-like features—with
a twist. Simply put, Android users might just like what they find in the Nook
Tablet.
