Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

In recent years, the screen sizes of all kinds of smart devices are constantly evolving in a larger and larger direction. First televisions, computers, then smartphones. Even tablets that used to be small and portable have now iterated out some products with large screens, such as the 12.9-inch iPad Pro and the 14-inch Xiaomi 6-Max tablet. It is reported that Apple may launch a 16-inch tablet in the future! It is not difficult to see that the trend of large screen and giant screen of tablet computers is becoming more and more intense.

The screen size of the tablet is getting larger and larger, resulting in an increase in the display area. Such being the case, can we equip the tablet with peripherals such as keyboard and mouse to improve its productivity and give full play to the value of the equipment? Obviously, smart device manufacturers also take into account such application scenarios, such as Apple, Huawei, Xiaomi, vivo and other brands, when launching their own tablet products, basically equipped with keyboards to provide more convenience in operation.

It seems that a large-screen tablet with a keyboard is infinitely close to a laptop, but there are still a lot of functional differences. Not to mention the software ecological differences brought about by different operating systems, the number and type of interfaces for notebook computers are far better than tablets. After all, most tablets have only one interface, which takes on the responsibility of data transmission, peripherals expansion and charging.

The expansion dock has become the best solution to solve the lack of tablet interface. Although the dock is regarded as an exclusive peripheral accessory for notebook computers, many docks can also connect with a number of tablet computers and fully use their own interface expansion functions because of the Type-C interface. For example, the expansion dock connected to the tablet computer realizes the screen expansion, wireless device connection, memory card and USB disk reading with the help of its own different kinds of interfaces. According to your own needs, you can also connect wireless keyboards, wireless headphones, game consoles and other devices to meet the needs of work or entertainment.

Tablets have obvious advantages in terms of lightness and thinness compared to laptops. With the expansion of the dock, the pain point of the lack of interface of the tablet itself has also been solved, and the ease of use and efficiency have been improved. However, it should be emphasized here that although docking stations can provide interface expansion effects for tablets, there are also some considerations in the selection of docking stations.

In addition to the selection and purchase of products with complete interfaces and excellent quality control, one aspect that users need to pay attention to is the signal shielding design of the expansion dock. As we mentioned earlier, we can expand the interface on tablets with the help of docking stations, and then connect to a variety of devices to provide a more convenient experience. However, it should be noted that if more wireless devices are connected, such as 2.4G wireless mouse, wireless handle, Bluetooth headset, Bluetooth keyboard and so on, the devices may influence each other.

Most devices, such as wireless mice and Bluetooth handles, work in the 2.4G band. If there are too many devices working in this frequency band in the same environment, some devices may be disturbed by signals and unstable connections, such as increased keyboard input delay, mouse cursor drift stutter and so on. This kind of situation is almost inevitable, because in addition to the above-mentioned wireless devices, such as laptops, smartphones, wireless routers and even tablets themselves, all work in the 2.4G band.

However, if the dock itself uses a relatively excellent signal shielding design, it can basically solve the signal shielding problem mentioned above. Take the Green Union 9-in-1 expansion dock in the picture as an example, an omni-directional shield is added to the interior of the expansion dock, which is made of metal, which can provide signal shielding effect for the PCB circuit board inside the expansion dock, so that the wireless devices connected to the expansion dock are free from external signal interference, thus bringing a stable connection experience.

To sum up, in order to improve the productivity of tablets, it is a good idea to expand peripherals with the help of docking stations. In addition, the signal shielding ability of the product itself is also an aspect that needs to be paid attention to when choosing and buying dock products. Do you think tablets and docking peripherals can become a "replacement" for laptops? You might as well express your views in the comments section.
