• Those who took this tablet in their hands will most of all like the body in it - it is very convenient, because. Made of aluminum, not some cheap plastic. Although, the sensations in the hands are such that it is still plastic;
• The case is thought out very well - it is rough to the touch, and therefore does not slip either in the hands or on the table. There are almost no fingerprints left on the back of the case;
• Externally, the tablet itself is practically an exact copy Apple iPad, with the only difference being that it lacks a physical desktop button. You will see this and other buttons on the side of the case.

The computer controls are arranged on top - the Home button, the Mini-HDMI connector, the reset button ( hard reset), MicroSD slot, MicroUSB and mini-Jack connectors for stereo headphones, Power off button. There is nothing on the other side.

As for the display, it is a 9.7-inch capacitive IPS screen with a resolution of 1024x768. It may seem small, but the price certainly smooths out this flaw. For this price range, this is a good indicator. On top of the display is not a glass protection, but a plastic one, and if you look closely, you can see a protective film pasted on it. This can be considered a definite plus.

It is important that the picture on the screen is very beautiful - clear and bright, with a decent margin of brightness.

Installing the tablet in a vertical position

The tablet is very convenient and securely held in the case. The design of the cover allows you to place it under different angles which makes working with the gadget much more comfortable.

The package is usual, and the box contains a power adapter, headphones (unfortunately, simple, not vacuum), OTG and USB-MicroUSB cables, a user manual and a special bonus - a gift card that entitles you to a free purchase of 10 books for LitRes. It would seem a trifle, but nice. The only thing that distinguishes this tablet from the standard kits is the presence of a cover.

The cover material is standard - it is made of black leatherette. The case itself is convenient to use and allows you to install the device in several positions using plastic fasteners, which look rather flimsy, but, as practice has shown, very durable. The case has a magnetic closure and convenient holes for the camera and headphones.

All this adds one plus to such a low cost of the tablet and its other advantages.

Know your needs

You can use the device for both work and entertainment

There are many significant questions that you need to answer before your money is in the hands of a tablet seller. And the most significant of them: how you plan to use the tablet. Do you want to replace your computer or just want to have an entertainment device when you travel? In any case, you have specific needs, which will be the main influencing factor when choosing a tablet.

Price won't tell the whole story

Just because a tablet is expensive doesn't mean you'll get a quality product worthy of your hard-earned money.

Conversely, not every cheap tablet is a useless device for developing glaucoma. However, the price of the tablet is a good reason to choose. And in this case, the texet tm 9741 tablet attracts with its price and, in addition, provides an opportunity to support a domestic manufacturer.

Manufacturer

It is wise to choose a tablet by manufacturer. Computers aren't perfect, and tablets in particular can be even less so. If problems arise, you need to make sure that the choice of manufacturer has been made correctly. This may be indicated by the readiness of the manufacturer to provide support to users in resolving all emerging issues.

Nevertheless, if you want to avoid a headache, it is better to give preference to the manufacturer who is already quite well-known, and whose tablets do not require frequent repairs, this is evidenced by reviews of the texet tm 9741 tablet.

Particulars of some aspects of the purchase

Screen

This is the most important factor when buying. Since the choice of a tablet also depends on the convenience of its use, even a difference of half an inch can play a significant role. However big screen- this is not only a larger size, but also a greater weight, and because the screen is more than a third of the cost of a tablet, then, accordingly, a higher price.

Screen quality is an important aspect when choosing a device

IMPORTANT. The price of tablets with screen sizes of 7 and 8 inches is usually lower. Such tablets have the advantage of being perfectly placed in small bags. They are easy to hold with one hand, which is convenient for those who like to read in bed.

However, for watching movies, TV and interactive games, medium-sized tablets (8.9-10 inches) are more convenient.

Optimal choice

Such is texet tm 9741, precisely because:

• easily held with one hand,
• responds easily to touch
• with a 9.7 inch screen, functional enough to meet your needs.

Wireless connections

Almost every tablet supports one of the Wi-Fi standards, and there are some tricks too. Some models only support 802.11b or g specifications, but if more powerful media or download support is needed, then the best option will still be 802.11n.

Another point to pay attention to is the ability to connect via 3G, which will be optimal, since it provides a number of advantages.

You may need a GPS-enabled tablet to find coordinates, and don't forget Bluetooth, which makes it easier to transfer and receive files.

OS and Applications

Without operating system any computer or tablet is just a set of iron. Comparing the internal stuffing of the device with the brain, the OS can be imagined as consciousness, without which the brain is dead.

Although the Android OS does not have as many applications as iOS, it has definitely taken a step forward in the development of a multimedia ecosystem that allows sharing various devices, there is also a significant improvement in the quality and quantity of other software. With a very simple and user-friendly interface, Android is superior to any other operating system in terms of usability.
