Which tablet screen size is best for you?
Larger than your average smartphone, but smaller than a desktop, tablets have revolutionized how we work and play. Typically thinner and lighter than traditional laptops, yet large enough to perform tasks that are more difficult on a smartphone screen, tablets have opened up a world of opportunity. But with so many different screen sizes to choose from, how do you decide which tablet is best for you? We will guide you through the different tablet screen sizes to help you choose.
How to measure tablet screen size?
Screen size measurements for tablets are calculated by measuring diagonally from the upper left-hand corner of the screen to the lower right-hand corner. The measurements are expressed in inches and don't include the border around the edge of the screen. It’s worth noting that "tablet size" and "tablet screen size" are not the same thing. Tablet size involves the length, width and depth of the device rather than the diagonal measurement that is used to measure the screen.
