Technology is changing every day. We can't just predict things that will come true in the future. Even being so advanced and with so much latest tech, it almost took a year for the Covid-19 vaccine, and still, we are not very sure about it.

Laptop V/S Tablet

- Laptops come with higher-performing processors as they can have an in-built fan to cool them. Tablets don’t have that size to have an in-built fan.
- Tablets are less expensive than laptops as they have fewer features as compared to laptops. But again this is a benefit with laptops that you will be getting too many features.
- With laptops, you can easily external hardware which is not quite easy with tablets.

As of now, even laptops are coming as 2-in-1 laptops so that you can use them as either a laptop or a tablet. But again it will take time to fit so much hardware in such a small space.

Nope, not happening anytime soon..!! So sit back and relax. We will keep you covered with the latest tech.
