Maaha fidno in la yiraahdo laptops-yada ayaa ku dhawaad ​​dilay kombiyuutarada desktop-ka. Waad ku mahadsan tahay hoos u dhaca qiimaha weyn iyo waxqabadka la midka ah kombuyuutarrada aan mobilada ahayn, dadka intooda badan waxay macno badan u samaynaysaa helitaanka kuwan dhammaan-kumbuyuutarrada ah marka loo eego mashiinka desktop-ka ee buuqa badan. 

Ultrabooks gaar ahaan waa kuwo caan ah sababtoo ah way yar yihiin, fudud yihiin oo caadi ahaan aamusan yihiin taageerayaasha la'aanta. Waxay sidoo kale awood ku filan u leeyihiin inay qabtaan shaqada isticmaalayaasha intooda badan.

Kumbuyuutarrada kiniinka^(Tablet) , dhinaca kale, waxay ka dhigayaan xitaa 13-inji ultrabook-ga ugu quruxda badan inay u ekaadaan hilib doofaar yar. Buugga ultrabook ee caadiga ah ee 13-inji ah ayaa miisaankiisu yahay saddex rodol, halka 12.9 ″ iPad Pro uu ka hooseeyo nuska. Kiis kiis kiiboodhka dabcan. 

Kumbuyuutarrada^(Tablet) kumbuyuutarrada ayaa ah qaab aad ugu habboon, laakiin dhab ahaantii ma ku beddeli kartaa kombuyuutarkaaga desktop-ka ama kumbuyuutarkaaga mid? Ma ku noolaan kartaa kombuyuutar tablet ah oo keliya^{(only )} oo ah qalabkaaga ugu muhiimsan?

Kombiyuutarrada Tablet vs. Tablet Computers^{(Tablet Computers vs. Tablet Computers)}

Ka hor inta aynaan wax ka qaban isbarbardhigga tafatiran ee u dhexeeya labadan nooc ee kumbuyuutarka ee caanka ah, waa inaan nadiifinnaa dhowr eray. 

Marka ay dadku isticmaalaan ereyga "kumbuyuutarka tablet-ka", guud ahaan waxa ay ka hadlayaan qalab isticmaala qalabka gacanta ee loogu talagalay telefoonnada gacanta. Kumbiyuutarradan tablet-ka ah waxay shaqeeyaan iOS ama Android inta badan waxayna yihiin, asal ahaan, taleefannada casriga ah ee waaweyn.

Si kastaba ha ahaatee, waxaa sidoo kale jira kombiyuutarada tablet-ka ah ee isticmaala qalabka kombuyuutarka oo ku shaqeeya nidaamyada hawlgalka PC. Waa inay caddahay in kombuyuutaradani ay runtii bedeli karaan kombuyuutar desktop ama laptop, maadaama ay gudaha isku mid yihiin. Waxay ku shaqeeyaan software isku mid ah waxayna u shaqeeyaan si isku mid ah. Ilaa inta shuruudaha ugu yar ee codsiyadaada la buuxiyo, waad fiicnaan doontaa. 

Tusaalaha ugu dambeeyay ee nooca kumbuyuutarka kumbuyuutarka waa Microsoft Surface Pro 6 . Kiniinnada kuwan oo kale ah waxay leeyihiin faa'iidooyin iyo khasaarooyin iyaga u gaar ah marka loo eego kuwa laga dhisay qalabka mobilada, laakiin taasi waa dood maqaal kale.

Laga soo bilaabo halkan, marka aan nidhaahno "kiniin" waxaan ula jeednaa nooca kiniiniga aan ahayn PC!

Hardware Marka la eego^{(Hardware In Perspective)}

Waa macno in la bilaabo isbarbardhigga qalabka cayriin ee kombiyuutarada dhaqameed iyo kombiyuutarada tablet-ka midba midka kale. 

Laptop-ka caadiga ah maanta wuxuu leeyahay processor-ka “x86”. Taasi waa, CPU oo faraca tooska ah ee Intel 8086 CPU sii daayay ilaa 1978. Iyadoo aan loo eegin^(Regardless) cidda sameeysa, x86 processors waxay ku hadlaan "luqad" isku mid ah. Tan ugu muhiimsan, waxay yihiin soo-saareyaal "CISC", taas oo gaaban oo loogu talagalay Xisaabinta Habaynta Tilmaamaha Isku-dhafka ah^{(Complex Instruction Set Computing)} . 

Asal ahaan waxay ku fiican yihiin inay si hufan u fuliyaan hawlaha xisaabinta ee adag. Si kastaba ha noqotee, naqshadeynta CPU -ga asal ahaan waa mid la abuuray iyada oo aan maskaxda lagu hayn waxyaabo ay ka mid yihiin isticmaalka awoodda ama cabbirka. X86 CPUs waxay u muuqdaan inay weyn yihiin oo awood gaajaysan yihiin. Tani waa qiimaha aad ku bixinayso waxqabadka.

Kiniiniyada isticmaalaya qalabka casriga ah waxay ku dhawaad ​​caalami ahaan ku salaysan yihiin naqshada "ARM", kaas oo ah qaab dhismeedka RISC . Taasi waa mid gaaban oo loogu talagalay Xisaabinta Dejinta Tilmaamaha. ^{(Reduce Instruction Set Computing.)}Processor-yaashani aad bay uga yar yihiin oo tamar fiican bay leeyihiin, laakiin waagii hore way ka awood yaraayeen. 

Hadda soo-saareyaasha casriga ah ee ARM waxay la mid yihiin chips-yada aad ka heli karto laptops-yada caadiga ah iyo kombiyuutarrada, oo loo isticmaalo xisaabinta maalinlaha ah. Waana^(Which) sababta aan marka horeba doodan u yeelanayno.

Wax walba waxay ku saabsan yihiin Nidaamka hawlgalka^{(It’s All About the Operating System)}

Dhammaadka, waxaad iibsan kartaa kombuyuutar kaniini ah oo leh qalab ka awood badan baahida inta badan. Taasi hadda maaha arrin dhab ah inta badan isticmaalayaasha. Dhibaatada dhabta ah waa software-ka kombiyuutarada tablet-ka ay ku shaqeeyaan.

Gaar ahaan, Android iyo iOS , kuwaas oo ah labada hab ee ugu weyn ee hawlgalka mobile. Marka la eego qalab isku mid ah, doorashada nidaamka qalliinka ayaa saameyn weyn ku leh waxa aad ku samayn karto qalabka. 

Android iyo iOS labaduba waxay ku bilowdeen nidaam hawleed aad u xaddidan marka loo eego Windows ama MacOS . Si kastaba ha ahaatee taasi way isbedelaysaa. Dhinaca Apple , iPadOS waxa ay u keentay kombuyuutarradan astaamo waaweyn oo markii hore ahaan jiray barta kombuyuutarrada dhaqameed.

Apple waxay si cad u aragtaa iPadka mustaqbalka xisaabinta iyo xitaa Mac-yada mustaqbalka ayaa^(Macs) lagu wadaa inay noqdaan kuwo la xoojiyay oo ku saleysan ARM taas oo macnaheedu yahay isku darka MacOS iyo iOS.

Marka laga hadlayo iPad-ka ku shaqeeya iPadOS, gabi ahaanba waa suurtogal in loo isticmaalo kombayutarkaaga kaliya ee ugu weyn. Waxqabadyo badan oo run ah, taageerada wadisyada dibadda iyo abka leh sinnaanta dhiggooda desktop-ka ayaa aad u fog si ay xitaa iPad-ka heerka gelitaanka uga dhigaan kombuyuutar aasaasiga ah.

Android waa bac isku dhafan. Nooca ugu dambeeyay ee Android wuxuu u fiican yahay isticmaalka xisaabinta caadiga ah, laakiin maadaama ku dhawaad ​​​​sameeyaha kiniiniga ahi uu hirgeliyo is-dhexgal gaar ah, waxaad u baahan doontaa inaad ku qiimeyso badeecad-soo-saar.

Kiisaska Isticmaalka Dhabta ah^{(Realistic Use Cases)}

Haddii kaniiniga uu bedeli karo laptop-ka ama kombuyuutarka miiska ayaa wax badan ku leh kiiskaaga isticmaalka gaarka ah. Haddii aad tahay qoraa ama aad sameyso tiro badan oo qoraal ah, markaa joogitaanka kiiboodhka waa lama huraan. Tani waxay ka dhigan tahay in kiniinku yahay kaliya beddelka suurtagalka ah marka lagu lammaaniyo kiis kiiboodhka dibadda ah ama kiis kiiboodhka. 

Haddii aad inta badan u isticmaashid kombayutarkaga si aad u isticmaasho waxa ku jira, markaa tablet-ku waaba wax aad u badan oo aad u baahan tahay. 

Maxaa ku saabsan "Isticmalayaasha Awoodda"?^{(What About “Power Users”?)}

In kasta oo kiniiniyada ay ka awood badan yihiin inay wax ka qabtaan waajibaadka xisaabinta guud ee isticmaaleyaasha intooda badan, oo ay ku jiraan wax soo saarka guud, waxaa jira nooc ka mid ah isticmaaleyaasha laptop-ka ama desktop-ka oo laga yaabo inaysan waqtigu ku habboonayn inuu beddelo noocaan oo kale ah.

Kiniinnada-dhamaadka sare, sida iPad-ka cusub ee Pro , waxay xamili karaan hawlo culus sida 4K video editing. Haddii aad u baahan tahay awoodda goobta shaqada waxaad sidoo kale hadda ku tiirsan kartaa adeegyada daruuraha ku saleysan^{(cloud-based services)} . Meesha tablet-kaagu uu yahay daaqad fog oo keliya oo loogu talagalay nidaamyada xarunta xogta xoogga leh.

Degaannada Desktop Mobile^{(Mobile Desktop Environments)}

Iyadoo xudunta hoose ee nidaamyada hawlgalka mobiladu ay yihiin kuwo aad u adag maalmahan, interfaces-ka tablet-ka looma hagaajin isticmaalka desktop-ka. Markaa haddii aad rabto waayo-aragnimada desktop-ka waa inaad samaysaa xoogaa lugo dheeraad ah.

iPadOS wuxuu si fiican ugu shaqeeyaa goobta desktop-ka, marka lagu xiro kiiboodhka, laakiin taageerada mouse-ku hadda waa muuqaal gelitaan tijaabo ah, markaa ha filanin inay dareemayso sida MacOS .

Android waxa ay leedahay jiirka asalka ah iyo taageerada kiiboodhka, oo leh tilmaame dhaqameed. Si kastaba ha noqotee, waayo-aragnimada desktop-ka Android waxay ka tagtaa wax la rabo. Qaabka desktop-ka ee Android^(Android) Q waxa uu u muuqdaa mid rajo leh waxaana jira barnaamijyo kala duwan oo dhinac saddexaad oo Android ah oo kaa caawin kara in la xakameeyo farqiga. 

Qaabka iskuxiran ee desktop-ka waa inuu ahaadaa Samsung's app Proriety Dex^{(Samsung’s proprietary Dex application)} . Kiniinnada qaarkood^(Certain) , sida Galaxy Tab S4 , waxay u beddelmi karaan qaabka Dex marka ay taabta astaanta. Ka guurista is dhexgalka ku salaysan taabashada una guuro mid mouse ku salaysan. Haddi mid ka mid ah xalalkan miiska uu kaa caawiyo inaad ku beddesho laptop-kaaga ama desktop-kaaga tablet-ka waa arrin shakhsi ah, laakiin waxaa muhiim ah in la ogaado in ikhtiyaarku jiro.

Haddaba Tablet-ku run ahaantii ma beddeli karaa Kombiyuutarka Miisaanka ama Laptop-ka?^{(So Can A Tablet Truly Replace a Desktop Computer Or Laptop?)}

Waxay u badan tahay inaad garatay in jawaabta su'aashani aanay ahayn "haa" ama "maya". Taa beddelkeeda waa kiis ku saabsan macnaha guud. Taas oo macnaheedu yahay jawaabtu dhab ahaantii waa natiijada shuruudo:

• Qalabka kiniinka ma xamili karaa shaqada aad u baahan tahay?
• Nidaamka hawlgalka ma samayn karaa waxaad^(YOU) u baahan tahay?
• Codsiyada aad u baahan tahay ma u jiraan tablet-ka su'aasha laga hadlayo?

Waxaan ka shakisanahay in inta badan isticmaalayaasha iibsan lahaa laptop-ka caadiga ah ama desktop-ka waagii hore, dhammaan saddexda su'aalood jawaabtoodu waa "haa". Inta soo hartay, hadda, way ka fiican tahay in lagu dhejiyo arrimo badan oo qaab dhaqameed ah, laakiin su'aashan ayaa hubaal ah in ay mudan tahay in dib loo eego wakhti ka waqti marka tignoolajiyadu horumarto. 

Ha iloobin in kombuyuutarrada tablet-ka ee maanta ay ka dheereeyaan kombuyuutarradii hore ee qolka-buuxinta, markaa ha ku raaxaysan fikradahaas hore.

Can A Tablet Truly Replace a Desktop Computer Or Laptop?

It’s not a stretch to ѕay that laptops have virtually killed off desktop computers. Thanks to big price drops and performance on-par with non-mobile computers, for most pеоple it makes more sense to get these all-in-one PCs than a big, noisy desktop machine. 

Ultrabooks in particular are popular because they are small, light and usually quiet thanks to a lack of fans. They are also powerful enough to do the job for most users.

Tablet computers, on the other hand, make even the daintiest 13-inch ultrabooks look a little porky. The typical 13-inch ultrabook weighs about three pounds, whereas a 12.9” iPad Pro comes in at under half that. Without a keyboard case of course. 

Tablet computers are a very convenient form factor, but can you actually replace your desktop or laptop computer with one? Could you live with only a tablet computer as your main device?

Tablet Computers vs. Tablet Computers

Before we tackle a detailed comparison between these two popular computer types, we have to clear up a few terms. 

When people use the term “tablet computer”, they are generally talking about a device that uses mobile hardware meant for mobile phones. These tablet computers run iOS or Android most of the time and are, essentially, giant smartphones.

However, there are also tablet computers which use PC hardware and run PC operating systems. It should be obvious that these computers can in fact replace a desktop or laptop computer, since they are internally identical. They run the same software and work in exactly the same way. As long as the minimum specifications of your applications are met, you’ll be fine. 

A recent example of this type of tablet computer is the Microsoft Surface Pro 6. Tablets such as these have their own set of pros and cons compared to ones built from mobile hardware, but that is a discussion for another article.

From here on, when we say “tablet” we mean the non-PC type of tablet!

Hardware In Perspective

It makes sense to start of by comparing the raw hardware of traditional computers and tablet computers to each other. 

The typical laptop today has an “x86” processor. That is, a CPU that a direct descendant of the Intel 8086 CPU released all the way back in 1978. Regardless of who makes them, x86 processors all speak the same “language”. Most importantly, they are “CISC” processors, which is short for Complex Instruction Set Computing. 

Basically they are good at efficiently executing complex computing tasks. However, this CPU design is fundamentally one that was created without things like power consumption or size in mind. X86 CPUs tend to be large and power hungry. This is the price you pay for performance.

Tablets using smartphone hardware are almost universally based on the “ARM” design, which is a RISC architecture. That’s short for Reduce Instruction Set Computing. These processors are much smaller and more energy efficient, but have been less powerful in the past. 

Now modern ARM processors are just as powerful as the chips you’d find in mainstream laptops and desktops, used for daily computing tasks. Which is why we are having this debate in the first place.

It’s All About the Operating System

In the end, you can buy a tablet computer with hardware more than powerful enough for most needs. That’s no longer a real issue for the vast majority of users. The real problem is the software these tablet computers run.

Specifically, Android and iOS, which are the two major mobile operating systems. Given the same hardware platform, the choice of operating system has a major impact on what you can do with a device. 

Both Android and iOS started out as very limited operating systems compared to Windows or MacOS. That’s changing however. On the Apple side of things, iPadOS has brought major features to these computers that were previously the domain of traditional computers.

Apple clearly sees the iPad as the future of computing and even future Macs are set to become beefed up ARM-based devices that effectively mean a merger of MacOS and iOS.

In the case of an iPad running iPadOS, it’s absolutely feasible to use as your main and only computer. True multitasking, support for external drives and apps that have parity with their desktop counterparts go a long way to make even the entry-level iPad a viable primary computer.

Android is more of a mixed bag. The latest version of Android is good for most casual computing uses, but since virtually every tablet maker implements a custom interface, you’ll need to evaluate them on a product-by-product basis.

Realistic Use Cases

Whether a tablet can replace a laptop or desktop computer has much to do with your specific use case. If you’re a writer or do significant amounts of writing, then the presence of a keyboard is essential. This means a tablet is only a viable replacement when paired with an external keyboard or keyboard case. 

If you mainly use your computer to consume content, then a tablet is already pretty much all you need. 

What About “Power Users”?

While tablets are more than capable of handling general computing duties for most users, including general productivity, there is a class of laptop or desktop user for whom the time might not be right to make such a switch.

High-end tablets, such as the new iPad Pro, can handle heavy tasks such as 4K video editing. If you need workstation-grade power you can also now rely on cloud-based services. Where your tablet is just a remote window for powerful data center systems.

Mobile Desktop Environments

While the underlying core of mobile operating systems are pretty solid these days, tablet interfaces are not optimised for desktop use. So if you want the desktop experience you’ll have to do some additional legwork.

iPadOS works well enough in a desktop setting, when connected to a keyboard, but the mouse support is currently an experimental accessibility feature, so don’t expect it to feel like MacOS.

Android has native mouse and keyboard support, with a traditional mouse pointer. However, the Android desktop experience leaves something to be desired. Android Q’s desktop mode looks promising and there are various third-party Android desktop apps that can help bridge the gap. 

The most cohesive desktop mode has to be Samsung’s proprietary Dex application. Certain tablets, such as the Galaxy Tab S4, can switch to Dex mode at the tap of an icon. Moving from a touch-based interface to a mouse-based one. Whether any of these desktop solutions help ease you into replacing your laptop or desktop with a tablet is subjective, but it’s important to know that the option exists.

So Can A Tablet Truly Replace a Desktop Computer Or Laptop?

You’ve probably realized that the answer to this question isn’t a clear “yes” or “no”. Instead it’s rather a case of context. Which means the answer is actually the result of a set of conditions:

• Can the tablet’s hardware handle the job you need it to?
• Can the operating system do what YOU need it to?
• Do the applications you need exist for the tablet in question?

We suspect that for the vast majority of users who would have bought a mainstream laptop or desktop in the past, the answer to all three questions is probably “yes”. The rest are, for now, better off sticking with more traditional form factors, but this question is certainly worth revisiting from time to time as the technology advances. 

Don’t forget that the tablet computers of today are faster than the room-filling supercomputers of yesteryear, so don’t get too comfortable with those preconceptions.
