| One of the reasons most people prefer carrying around a tablet as opposed to a laptop is the superior battery life you get from a tablet. Excluding Chromebooks, most laptops can go for only about 2.5 hours before you have to plug it in, whereas most can get almost a full day’s use out of a Kindle, Samsung Galaxy Tab or an iPad. |

| A Chromebook is a laptop of a different breed. Instead of Windows 10 or Mac OS X, Chromebooks run Google’s Chrome OS. These machines are designed to be used primarily while connected to the Internet, with most applications and documents living in the cloud. As a result, these clam-shells don’t have a ton of on-board storage, but they don’t have very large price tags, either. |

| Choosing a main go-to camera, most pros and serious enthusiasts still gravitate to full-frame, pro-caliber DSLRs. But when you’re traveling, hiking, or simply enjoying your vacation, the prospect of toting a top-tier DSLR outfit can be daunting. Fortunately, technology has come to the rescue and there is now a wide variety of more compact, lightweight, travel-friendly cameras that deliver outstanding image quality and shooting performance in far more convenient form factors. |
