Tablets are growing in popularity. By 2015 tablet sales are predicted to top desktop and laptop sales combined. Sales in PCs, tablets, and mobile devices are expected to reach 2.4 billion units in 2013, and grow by another .6 billion by 2017, according to data Gartner provided Cnet.

The release of more efficient, lower costing tablets, has no doubt accelerated this growth in popularity. Tablet sales are predicted to reach 337.8 million units in 2015 while PC and laptop combined sales are expected to come in at 292.2 million units.

Expect the iPad 5 to be Thinner and Lighter

April 18th, 2013 | Posted by JThompson in iPad - (0 Comments)

thin-tabletApple’s next generation of iPad will be 15% thinner and 25% lighter than the fourth-generation model.

The reduction in its size is due to a handful of modifications. The battery is supposed to be 25 percent to 30 percent smaller and improvements on display panels and A-series chip technology, which now uses less energy. Apple also will use the same touch technology found on the iPad mini, which is thinner than what it currently uses on its full-size iPads.

This is just the latest in a series of rumors and murmurs pointing to a slimmer iPad. Apple’s used what’s effectively been the same outside design for the device for the past three versions, something of an abnormality when compared with the iPhone and iPod line.

The purchasing of an  iPad can be expensive, and unless you are planning on using it all the time, it doesn’t make sense to spend a lot of money on one or multiple of them. RentOurTablets.com provides you with the opportunity to rent a singular iPad or a large number for a period of time! For more information, check out our iPad Rentals and our iPad Mini Rentals

New iPad vs iPad Mini

December 4th, 2012 | Posted by JThompson in iPad | Rental | Tablet - (0 Comments)

iPad MiniiPad mini, or iPad with retina display? Lighter and more portable, or two times the speed and bigger screen with an extremely crisp picture?

The Only thing it seems the mini has going for it is convenient size and the fact it costs less than its larger older brother. If holding your iPad in one hand or being able to store it in your purse is a concern, then the iPad mini may be right for you, being only .28 inches thick, and weighing only .68 pounds.

If you watch movies, play games, use it for school or work.  The new iPad may be the better pick because of its 9.7 inch and high resolution of 2048 x 1536.

Can’t decide?  RentOurTablets.com provides you with the opportunity to rent a tablet for a period of time without spending the full cost for a potential disappointment. For more information, check out our iPad Rentals and our iPad Mini Rentals
