What Should I Buy? Laptop Or Tablet - Part 4

Tablets: The iPad Advantage - Instant On and Connected Standby

Yet another advantage is that an iPad doesn't take minutes to boot up: it's ready to go instantly, so it's quick to check email and Facebook, or the weather forecast or TV listings.

When you press the power button, it goes into standby, but remains connected to the internet so you'll hear alerts when you receive emails, Facebook messages or when other events happen. You don't have to turn it on to find out if you've missed something.

This is something that both Windows 8 and the latest Intel processors are addressing, so again the very latest, best Ultrabooks can offer something approaching the iPad's performance in this respect. But we really are talking about the exception rather than the laptop rule. 

In Part 5 we'll discuss 'Tablets: The iPad Advantage - Touchscreen Interface'.
