Survey Shows Tablets Are Popular For the Holidays

December 13, 2012 Staff Leave a comment

New research indicates that the PC industry may be dealt another blow around the holidays.

According to a survey organized by PriceGrabber, around 59 percent of the respondents stated that they would rather be given a tablet than a PC.

Of those respondents, almost 25 percent indicated that they would like to receive an iPad Mini, while about 63 percent of those surveyed said they would like to receive an iPad 3 or iPad 4. The iPad 4 was released in October and is the latest version, while the iPad 3 was introduced back in March.

The Current Tablet Craze

The PriceGrabber survey also indicated that people wanted electronic items other than iPads. An Amazon HD Kindle Fire was the first choice of about 20 percent of those interviewed, while 22 percent of people who took the survey expressed a preference for a Samsung Galaxy Note Tab.

One of the latest products from Microsoft is the Surface tablet, which 13 percent of those interviewed would like to receive.

One of the vice presidents at PriceGrabber pointed out in a statement that the introduction of several tablets priced between $200 and $300 has meant that tablets have become increasingly popular as a Christmas gift. Rojeh Avanesian went on to say that this holiday season, many retailers will be fighting for customers money and that tablets will once again prove to be popular.

The Impact On the PC Market

The PC market has suffered in recent years, partly because of many consumers opting to buy a tablet instead, and partly because of the overall poor economy.

The global PC market dropped by just over 8.5 percent during the last year, according to industry analysts IDC. During the third quarter of 2012, global shipments of personal computers totalled 87.5 million units, with a drop in shipments of 8.3 percent over the previous year.

Tablets On the Holiday Wish List

According to the PriceGrabber survey, 45 percent of those surveyed put the iPad Mini at the top of their holiday wish list, making it the most popular. The survey was conducted between October 24 and November 1 and involved 1,475 online shoppers.

About 38 percent of those surveyed liked the fact that the iPad Mini was affordable compared to other models, while 47 percent liked is small size and portability.

Amazon’s Kindle Fire HD was second in the survey, with 27 percent, while the Amazon’s Kindle Fire and Google Nexus 7 tied for third place with 19 percent.

The Simple Truth

Whether you are in the market for a new tablet or a PC this holiday season, one thing is certain, both aren’t invulnerable to unexpected accidents. The experts at iFixYouri are experienced in both tablet and PC repair and can certainly help if ever your device suffers any damage.

Which Windows 8 Tablet is Right for You?

November 8, 2012 Staff 5 Comments

For years, the iPad has dominated the tablet market. However, some are hoping that could change with the introduction of several new tablets running the Windows 8 operating system. A number of these new tablets running the latest Windows OS have been receiving positive reviews, making it a good time to buy a Windows 8 tablet for anyone who has waited for the release of a quality competitor for the iPad.

Samsung Ativ Smart PC Pro

Like many of the new tablets arriving on the market, this tablet can function just like a laptop with the addition of peripherals like an external keyboard and a stand. The Samsung Ativ Smart PC Pro runs on a Core i5 processor, and is known for high performance but criticized for its short battery life when compared with tablets running with Atom processors. The Ativ tablet also runs with 4 GB of RAM and comes equipped with 256 GB hard drive storage.

Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga

Lenovo is well-known for making cutting edge equipment that is fun for those who love technology. The IdeaPad Yoga is Lenovo’s latest release, and critics have billed it an “ultrabook” tablet. Users can employ the IdeaPad Yoga as a standard thin notebook or fold it up like a tablet, and they can also stand it up or angle it like a tent. This convertible tablet runs on a respectable 8 GB ram and offers a 256 GB hard drive for internal storage.

Asus Vivo

The Asus Vivo also acts as both a tablet or laptop, depending on what the user prefers. The Vivo can be set on a docking station that contains a keyboard and touchpad, effectively making it like a laptop.

The Vivo has earned commendations for its battery life, mainly because it comes with an extra battery in the keyboard section. One downside, however, is that the keyboard must be attached for it to work, thereby making the Vivo less portable and tablet-like. The Asus Vivo runs on a Atom processor and 2 GB RAM.

Windows 8 Tablet Repair

Just as with many other mobile technological devices that have arrived on the market in recent years, the new Windows 8 tablets can become damaged if they are dropped, stepped on or otherwise meet with an accident. Should that happen, the tablet should be well-packaged and sent to a professional repair facility like iFixYouri that has experience in all kinds of tablet repair.

Do You Need Kindle Fire Repair?

November 2, 2012 Staff 4 Comments

The Kindle Fire is a tablet that provides many of the same features as its competitors, with a level of connectivity with Amazon that cannot be beaten. Also like the competition, it is also susceptible to damage. Fortunately, there is hope for Kindle Fire repair with iFixYouri.

For instance, if your Kindle Fire’s screen is shattered, or if the touch response digitizer is unresponsive or erratic, or if the device was dropped into a puddle, it can likely be fixed by expert technicians.

Reasons You May Need to Repair your Kindle Fire

Listed below are a few possible ways to damage a Kindle Fire.

The Casing

If you own a Kindle Fire, you already know that it is not the sturdiest piece of machinery. Like all tablets, it has to balance form and function. If you drop your Kindle Fire, you have a very strong chance of causing damage.

As always, a protective case is always recommended for mobile devices, but even a case can’t guarantee protection from damage. Remember, although cosmetic damage may only appear to be superficial, the device’s operation may have been affected.

The Screen

The Kindle Fire has a slick screen, and the new HD model is even better. Not surprisingly, it is also quite fragile. All it takes is one drop to shatter the screen, and a bit of bad luck can render the device virtually useless. Fortunately, you can get the screen repaired or replaced if you do damage it.

Internal Damage

Whether the device has been soaked in water, left in hot temperatures for days on end, or suffered any variety of unfortunate accidents, the Kindle Fire can suffer internal damage like any other tablet on the market. You might be amazed, though, what can be done to get the machine back up and running.

There are dozens of problems possible, but there is a possible repair option for almost every issue. This means that you can potentially avoid buying a brand new machine, as well as avoid having to lose everything that you have saved on your current model.

The Bottom Line Regarding Kindle Fire Repair

The Kindle Fire is a great machine that can break as easily as any tablet on the market. If you are willing to stick with your current machine and get it repaired, though, it may be able to be as good as new. The investment for a repair is quite low compared to the price of a new Fire, and it will help you to keep using the same tablet of which you may have grown fond.
