Tablets are all over the market these days and come in different shapes, sizes, and prices. But why would you want to get one especially if you already have a laptop or desktop computer? Here are 5 reasons you should buy a tablet.
4 Reasons To Buy A Tablet

Battery Life
Most laptops have around 2 ½ hours of battery life. If you use your laptop for both work and play, once the battery runs out you can't have either one. Tablets like the Samsung Galaxy Tab can last up to a whole day of use without recharging. Also, carrying a laptop charger and finding electrical sockets can be quite a chore.
Customizability
Are you a campus crawler who needs to organize notes, know what class is up next or where to buy beer for your next party? Maybe you're a Wall Street guy who needs to get the latest news, know which stocks are up or find the best place to unwind after work.
No matter what your lifestyle is, there's an app for you. You can download games, calendars, newspapers, books and other programs that can help you in your daily life. Sure, you can do that with a laptop but getting applications for tablets is a very easy (and most of the time FREE) process. Installs takes seconds and you won't need to bother with registration codes and serial numbers.
Fun
These devices offer great entertainment options. If you like watching movies, tablets like the Galaxy Tab 10.1 from Samsung have full HD capabilities. Time Warner Cable also plans to release a streaming service for it later this year.
A huge number of games are also available for download. Be warned that most of them are addictive and will get you hooked for hours on end.
You can also save precious hard disk space on your laptop or desktop by transferring your entertainment stash onto your tablet.
Utility
Don't expect to type out epics on tablets. Setting aside that limitation, tablets can be useful in other tasks such as sending or receiving emails, setting up appointments or reading PDF files.
A laptop can do these too but sometimes they take too long to startup. You also would need to find a flat surface to put them on so you can use them comfortably.
Getting Your Own Tablet PC
There's a lot of tablets out in the market today. The Samsung Galaxy Tab is a close contender to Apple's iPad; you might want to check it out.
