Result

If you answered…

Mostly A’s: Just a smartphone. A smartphone probably has sufficient capabilities for your purposes. While you might benefit from having a tablet on hand, you don’t necessarily have to have one.

A smartphone is perfect for you, and it’s really all you need to have with you.

Mostly B’s: Just a tablet. A tablet would be great for you to invest in because you need personal computing on-the-go, but a simple cell phone is fine for you.

The functions of a tablet will be sufficient for your purposes, while at the same time being even more convenient.

Mostly C’s: A smartphone and a tablet. Because you love to be connected and on the cutting edge of technology, you could definitely benefit from having both a smartphone and a tablet. Having both will meet all your needs on a regular basis.

Or consider a Tablet & Phone Hybrid, like Samsung Galaxy Note

You should invest in a smartphone and a tablet. If you answered mostly C’s, you may want a smartphone and a tablet. Having both can make work and research while out and about a lot easier and more convenient for you.

However, if you can alter your personal computing tendencies just a bit, you can usually get by with just one or the other. If cost is a factor, go with your second most popular answer. If you answered more A’s than B’s, go with a smartphone, or vice versa.

Everyone is different, and your habits will ultimately determine which device or devices are most important to you.
