In [2], Greg Crowe stated that the tablets, which helped the workers to be able to enter and update any information from the distance, allowed them to have more time with their families. Overall, workers have indicated a time savings of anywhere from an hour a day to feeling as if they gain a day and a half to two additional days a week in time saved [2]. There is an interesting question “tablets could replace laptops” [4].
The results of this paper are seen that Tablet is appropriate to fast connection, and simply application especially in social network. However, it may be not convenience to complex applications for working. It is the same direction as Mark Kyrnin [4]. He stated that “laptops can be extremely portable and have a much wider range of tasks they can be used for”. Additionally, most people cannot type as quickly or as accurately on a virtual keyboard. There is no an option of adding an external Bluetooth keyboard to most tablets to make this more like a laptop [4],[6].
It is believed that most executive people seem to prefer tablets to laptops since they mainly need them to check for the summary reports. In contrast, workers mostly tend to do the personal work or activities which are not related to their office work. Thus, they need more programs on the laptops. To prove this belief, Section 4.7 provides the comparison between the Tesco Lotus staffs' needs of laptops and of tablets. Table 5; nevertheless, shows that the overall executive staffs still prefer laptops over tablets. However, the percentage of tablets preference is the highest in IT Department compared to the others. In other words, 4 out of 16 IT staffs prefer tablets and this can be accounted for 25% of the staff number. The second high percentage of tablets preference goes to the executives; 7 out of 69 of them prefer tablets and this equals to 10% of them.
