Background and Identification
Tablets are a form of mobile computer. While more portable than a laptop computer, the tablet does not have the same capabilities. They often have less processing power, and do not support access to a cellular network. Tablets were extremely popular in the 2010s, and many technology companies produced them, including Dell. However, the popularity of the tablet has decreased since then, except in certain uses. Modern smartphones are preferred now because they are extremely small and easy to carry around, and can connect to cellular networks. Despite the rise in smartphone usage, tablets are used by many people and are still sometimes preferred for things like online reading, where their larger screens make them easier to use and less eye-straining.
Dell tablets are not very common anymore. Instead, Dell sells a number of 2-in-1 laptops, which have a tablet configuration as well as the standard laptop setup. They also sell refurbished tablets as part of their Dell Refurbished program, which takes used Dell devices, refinishes them, and then sells them at lower prices. This program helps to reduce e-waste and offer more affordable devices to users. The model number on a Dell tablet can be in several different places.
