  • Interesting reasons to still buy a tablet

    Interesting reasons to still buy a tablet

    Many people would have you believe that you don’t need a tablet anymore, that everything you use a tablet for can be done just as well or better with another device.

    So, if you have a tablet and have stopped using it, or you never bought one, Jumia Nigeria, the online shop you can trust, highlights some reasons why you may want to reconsider and/or start using one.

    Perfect for movies and music

    Sure your laptop can play your music and movies; however, tablets just do it better. There’s nothing better than entertaining yourself on a long trip than with a tablet loaded with your favourite music and movies and it is easy to take with you.

    Longer battery life

    Laptop batteries are improving, but how many people really get 8 to 10 hours of life out of your laptop? Not very many. Tablets, however, will last much longer than many laptops without needing a charge. This gives you much more time to use them before they will have to stop and plug them in.

    Good for meetings and classes

    Tablets make the perfect piece of technology to take to a meeting and classes. Today’s tablets make it easy for you to take notes while you are listening to the presenter and, if you happen to be presenting, you can even run your presentation straight from your tablet instead of having to carry with you a laptop.

    Better internet browsing

    Internet browsing on a tablet is a mixed experience; it draws the line between mobile and desktop web pages. As websites vary from different publications, having the middle ground is wonderful. The text is more readable and browsing is as smooth as you’d expect from a mobile-optimized site.

    Tablets are cheaper than a new laptop

    A tablet works as well as a laptop. However, many persons do not use it even though it is cheaper and affordable than a laptop.

     

  • Useful tips to consider before buying a second-hand laptop

    Useful tips to consider before buying a second-hand laptop

    The fact is, not everyone can afford a brand new laptop whether you are buying it online or offline. This is why many Nigerians prefer to purchase a second-hand laptop. To minimise the risk of making a bad purchase, Jumia, the online shop you can trust highlights some of the things you should consider before buying a second-hand or a fairly used laptop.

    Know what you need

    Before you buy any second-hand laptop, find the activities for which you want to use it for. For basic use, a 2GB laptop is okay; for intermediate use, a 4GB laptop is good; and for advanced use, a 6GB+ RAM laptop is highly recommended.

    Check the battery

    It will be a waste of money if you buy a fairly used laptop whose battery is bad. This is because it will only work when it is powered. However, if you decide to buy the laptop and the battery is bad, you should be prepared to replace it.

    Buy a reputable brand

    There are countless brands of laptops out there that you will be spoiled for choice. Regardless, you should buy a reputable or reliable brand even though it is fairly used. Popular and reputable laptop brands include Apple, HP, Dell, and Lenovo among others.

    Don’t pay too much

    A second-hand laptop should be way cheaper than a brand new one. So, do a bit of research to ensure that you are not paying the price for a brand new one for a fairly used laptop.

    Be aware of the risk of buying from an individual or a retailer

    Oftentimes, when you buy from an individual, you are not given the chance to thoroughly check what you are buying. Additionally, you do not have the opportunity to return the laptop in case it develops any fault. However, when you buy from a retailer, they have a registered address which makes it less difficult for you to render complaints if you have one.

    Wifi connection

    Wifi enables you to browse the internet. It is essential that you check if it is properly working. To do this, create a hotspot on your mobile and connect with it and also see the strength and signal bar.
