How much does a Windows tablet cost?
You’ll quickly notice that prices range from 500 to over 2,000 euros. What justifies such a price difference?
Microsoft offers its line of Windows touchscreen tablets: the Surface and Surface Pro. Entry-level tablets cost around €600, while the latest models, which feature larger screens and more advanced technology, cost over €1,500.
Today, most online computer hardware sales sites offer the option to pay for your purchases in installments, making it easier to buy the Windows tablet that perfectly meets your needs.
What will you use your tablet for?
There are generally three types of tablet users:
Typical users are looking for a tablet that will allow them to browse the internet, access their social media accounts, make online purchases, or even watch occasional streaming videos.
More experienced users will use it for word processing or other software. These include those who enjoy advanced games or streaming. In these cases, you should opt for models with more memory and a better processor.
For professional use, different tablets will be chosen depending on the desired features. For a salesperson, the Windows tablet must be portable and have a good internet connection.

What are the criteria for choosing a Windows tablet?
Based on the technical characteristics of the device, we can check certain points.
The design of the tablet
For some, the tablet’s style and case color are key considerations. That’s why we now find models that are as slim as they are stylish and come in a variety of colors.
The dimensions and weight of the device
For mobile use, it is obvious that you will look for a touchscreen tablet with a small screen (9 to 13 inches) and with a resistant shell. This is the case for travelers, students, teachers, or those who use their tablets on public transport. On the other hand, those who need a certain image quality to watch videos or play elaborate games (RPG, image and graphics professionals, or even people with vision problems will turn to large Windows tablets of more than 13 inches with good display quality.
What is the difference between a touchscreen tablet and a hybrid tablet?
Touchscreen tablets come in the form of traditional tablets with only a screen and a case. Hybrid tablets have a detachable keyboard that allows you to switch from tablet to laptop mode. The former are ideal for users who only want to browse or use touch-based applications. On the other hand, the keyboard is useful for students or professionals who use office tools, desktop publishing tools, or for users of certain online games. Some hybrid Windows tablets (like the Surface Pro), when they have a good processor and good storage capacity, can replace a laptop.
Power and memory
Typically, the selection of Windows tablets at online retailers includes tablets with  Intel Core processors. The newer the tablet model, the faster it will run applications and programs. However, you should also consider whether the RAM is sufficient, as this also influences the speed. Some high-end Windows tablet models, such as the Surface Pro, include as much RAM as laptops. Storage capacity is also very important. Today, with a tablet, you can store data on an SSD hard drive, a cloud account, or even a nano-SIM.
Camera quality
For those who enjoy creating content (photos, videos), for those who enjoy taking photos while traveling, or for those who want to make video calls, camera quality is essential.
Other criteria can also be taken into account, such as sound quality, connectivity, or even battery life.
