We know what consumes an iPad and a comparison with consumption of a PC just does not hold. With a tablet, in a year we spend about $ 2 on your electric bill. The situation changes completely when it comes to PC.
Let’s the analysis of a personal computer with dual-core CPU, the predecessor of the fastest processors i3. Does it consume a dual-core computer? It is good to point out that we speak only of the CPU and not the energy input of the monitor that should be added to the final cost.
A dual-core CPU consumes an average of 40 watts. We refer to the consumer with some open programs like the Chrome browser, Skype, and a text editor. The power consumption in watts of such a computer is equal to 40 times the time taken.
It ‘s very common practice to leave your PC on all day or even during the night. In this case, the energy consumption is calculated as 40 x 24h = 960 watt-hours (0.960 kWh), after one month, the energy consumption of 28.8 kWh is estimated that, assuming an average cost for electricity of 0.10 cents per kWh, equivalent to a monthly expenditure of $ 2.88.
Always hypothetically, in a year, the constant use of the computer weighs on your electric bill by about $ 35. Nothing to do with a couple of euro spent to ensure a charging cycle to our tablet daily for 365 days.
The tablets have a very limited capacity compared to the PC, but just like a laptop may allow the use of a browser to surf the internet, use a VoIP service such as Skype and use a text editor. We cannot tell if you are more suitable for a tablet or a laptop, but we advise you to think twice before buying.
The laptop offers high performance but only if you need to take notes, surf the web and VoIP, you can orient yourself on the purchase of a tablet. There are numerous models on the market, the Samsung Galaxy Tab to the Blackberry Playbook, not to mention the famous iPad.
