# Tablets (Overview)

### Benefits

* **Screen size**: compared to a phone, a tablet offers a larger screen which is better for entertainment and education activities.
* **LTE enabled**: some tablets are LTE enabled, which means they can accept a sim card. However, these models will be more expensive that a wi-fi-only model.&#x20;
* **Accessibility**: most tablets have good onboard accessibility features that can make it easier for people with impairments to use.&#x20;

### Limitations

* **Storage space:** onboard storage can be limited but the addition of a micro SD card can be a welcome addition.
* **Cost:** tablets are usually more expensive than a phone and the higher value of the device can increase risk, especially iPads.

### Considerations

* Operating system: Android.
* Memory card is essential as storage space quickly fills up with apps.&#x20;
* A keyboard to improve accessibility for certain tasks e.g. creating a CV or education.
* LTE-enabled or wi-fi-only models.&#x20;
* Consider connectivity options e.g. a mi-fi device, if you purchase a wi-fi-only device.&#x20;
