Android and Apple Tablets
Android tablets are great media players, ebook readers, and devices for kids, but they rarely compete with iPads in versatility and performance.
Generally speaking, the biggest advantage of Apple iPadOS is twofold: it’s very clean and intuitive, and the many apps you can buy directly on the tablet (over 1 million iPad-specific titles at the time of writing) work well. The downside to iPadOS is that while recent upgrades have improved multitasking, it still can’t handle multiple users per device, and transferring files between apps is still cumbersome. The iPad is still a complement to the MacBook. iPad also has the best selection of accessories, including the excellent second-generation Apple Pencil.
Google’s Android operating system gives you a choice of hardware from many different manufacturers and offers maximum customization, a top-notch notification system, fast and smooth web browsing, and integration with Google such as Gmail, Google Maps, and video chat Seamless integration of applications. Android also supports multi-user login, so you can share your tablet with friends or family, a useful feature that Apple tablets lack. (Apple’s Family Sharing feature does the exact opposite, allowing multiple people to access shared data and services.) That said, most Android tablets come with older versions of the operating system with few updates.
