iPad Vs Kindle Fire HD Mini: Apple and Amazon steal the scene to rivals - Computer Minds

Into They cost a third less than the tablet “full size”, but have the same power: they are the 7-inch models that after having been almost ignored for years (the former are even in 2010) now become fashionable thanks to the launch delI’iPad Mini. Apple offers it own to offer low cost alternative to the normal model. And also, probably, not to leave the field open to other duc “griffatissime” news that I tried to preview. I speak of the rookies tablet of Google and Amazon, which confirm that the trend toward th e 7-inch display is more timely than ever. DOWN THE PRICE! Big G, with the help of the giant Asus has already sold its Nexus 7 and for less than 250 € you put in your pocket (read ra lm entity) the latest version of Android and the more powerful chip on the square. II, King of the Amazon e-book, instead launches its first tablet with touch screen high-definition an even lower price: 200 €. There is no shortage models of other brands that move the bar the price down even more, approaching the threshold – anything but psychological – of 100 €

Into RACE TO FALL models of which I speak are “driven” by Android c faithful ipaddista the first hour, before you try watching them with suspicion. Meanwhile, because Steve Jobs first believed them to be too small. The details you tell them in practice, but I anticipate that my doubts were unfounded and Jobs: A 7-inch screen in high definition is perfectly adequate to read a book, watch a movie and also to play (especially behind the display “pulsing” the powerful Nvidia chip Tcgra 3, I opened the doors of a store dedicated videoga with me to scream). A few minor annoyance if anything arises when I try to surf on the websites of newspapers, which force you to use the time I zoom in to read the articles. Operation but the new multicore chips make, fortunately, very agile. ALWAYS COMFORTABLE I console myself with the fact that the small screen makes the tablet more comfortable to hold and much lighter: they weigh about four ounces, 40% less than the t raditional 10-inch models. A major difference for tablets intended to be held in hand for hours and transported in a bag at work and on vacation.

ARRIVES “MELINA” APPLE IPAD MINI 16G B € -329 Thin almost like her picture: clearly I’m exaggerating, but the impression it gives is that to hold it. And compared to the other models 7 “has a screen that looks much bigger. Why is not scenic, but in 4:3, as the iPad normal, especially because the larger it really is: the exact size of the display is in fact 7.9 “. Nevertheless, the Mini is only slightly wider than rivals because the frame is very thin. The quad core chip is not the last ¡Pad, but the dual core of the old ¡Pad 2, the Mini, however, is no less agile because it has a display “frugal”: a 1,024 × 768 pixels (the traditional definition) still nice to watch. The range of Mini is divided, as for the other tablets from Apple, on three “cuts” of memory (16, 32 and 64 GB), with or without 3G connection. www.apple.it

GOOD FIRST AMAZON KINDLE FIRE HD-199 € The first tablet from Amazon ICD is a bomb: the screen, in high definition, is the first that I see with an anti-reflective treatment that really works and makes me pleasant read outdoors (Kindle has always been synonymous with e-book, after all!). The Fire also has two stereo speakers, complete with cinema effect, the good results when I decide to watch movies without headphones. The wi-fi has the technology “dual antenna that doubles the speed with which I can Scarici States, music and video. Peècato that the operating system is changed from an Android Amazon. It is not always smooth and responsive ‘touch and limits me a lot when I try to download the app (see): Functions only those modified by Amazon (for security reasons, says the house). Skype, however, “run” very well.

IF GOOGLE GOOGLE AGREES … ASUS Nexus7-249 € Finally they made it: for years I was try ing to achieve the same fluidity and precision at the touch deH’iPad and now has centered the result . The merit? In part, Jelly Bean, the latest version of Android that was literally sewn adcosso to the Nexus 7 (and for now you can not find in any other tablet) and partly to the power of Tegra 3, one of the fastest quad-core chip of the moment, our muscles with games worthy of a console: fluidity and speed bewilder me when I zip along the marshes on the boat propeller Shine Runnere the ghostly corridors of Dark Meadows are really scared! Nexus 7 does not have the 3G connection nor the rear camera (one for the chat instead there). But sometimes I empre a mobile phone in his pocket with which to take photos and wi-fi hotspots. www.asus.it
