Below are several points of comparison between a laptop and tablet:
Physical Attributes
Laptop: It’s heavier, obviously. A laptop is considered a personal computer with attached keypad. The modern laptops these days has a smart face recognition feature and gesture input functionality. For heavy typers like me, laptop is a good choice. Generally, the laptop screen ranges from 10.6 to 20 inches diagonally. The resolution may be vary from 1280 x 800 to 1680 x1050.
Tablet: It is a one-piece computer device and more portable than a laptop. Lightweight so you can carry it everywhere without any hassle. It can be operate with the use of gesture control, stylus, viz, finger-touch. The screen ranges from 7 to 10 inches while the resolution varies from 1280 x 800 to 2560 x1600. Typing activities may be inaccurate, not easy and fast.
Battery Life

Tablet: The battery life usually lasts up to 10 hours before the next recharge. It uses light hardware components so the battery becomes efficient.
Performance
Laptop: The heavy hardware assembly of a laptop allows the user to perform heavy-duty activities, like typing for longer hours, with easy and good pacing. What you can do to personal computer or PC can also be done with laptop and more personal. The screen is also an advantage to the user along with keyboard that allows easier navigation. Laptop is a device that can stand alone.
Tablet: Basically, a tablet is being used for lighter tasks like internet browsing or playing music. A personal feel on operating experience. If a group of people will look at the tablet’s screen, they won’t see it because the screen is too small for group sharing.
Cost
Laptop: The prices for laptop can be flexible. But of course, it will always depend on the need and brand. Usually, a laptop ranges from $300 to $1500.

Tablet: E-books are best to be read on tablet. It gives the user a better reading experience. But tablets can’t multitask unlike laptop.
Remember when buying a device, make sure that it suits your needs and can help you achieve your goal – whether for school or work. It’s not about what’s in but what is essential to your lifestyle.
