Tablet ((LINK))
Vincenza Speranza
I just rebuilt my website it Fluid Engine to get the hang of it before implementing it on client sites. And the tablet view looks terrible. Is there an easy fix for this, or a way to have the site look like mobile but on a tablet? I'm super concerned with creating client sites that aren't truly responsive. Ugh. Thanks for your advice!
@tuanphan I really feel like the whole site is problematic. Is there any CSS to take each page of my site and at the tablet size have it respond like mobile size? Or can you really only call out certain sections and adjust them? Thanks.
And comon' Squarespace. I know tablets aren't widely used in general, but if you're building sites that are targeted towards older adults who have a high tablet use rate, it makes it near impossible to do without Will's script.
It's extremely disappointing to see that Squarespace doesn't. My website I have been building looks absolutely crap on tablets and Squarespace support have offered basically no support. I always get a stock standard response of "we currently don't support that feature, if you feel comfortable writing code you can use CSS"

Just found the stats for our discussion here. Yep, almost half of users make use of tablet landscape. OK, I concur this is bad since most of the time workflow for tablets and desktops are different (all the hovers on desktop, duh!)
A tablet PC -- also known as a tablet computer or simply tablet -- is a smaller version of a laptop computer and a larger version of a smartphone. All tablets feature a touchscreen interface, allowing users to engage with the device using touch commands and easily access many applications without needing an external keyboard or mouse.
That said, users can connect an external keyboard or mouse to a tablet. In fact, many users prefer to work with an external input device for gaming, to create documents, access websites and do other tasks on a tablet.
Unlike many laptops, a tablet is a highly portable device, making it easy to carry and transport. And compared to a smartphone, tablets feature a larger form factor and larger screens, thus providing a larger and clearer display experience. Tablets also provide greater storage capacity and a longer battery life compared to smartphones.
Like both laptops and smartphones, tablets are built to work in online and offline modes. Depending on the model and country of operation, tablets are compatible with most wireless and cellular data networks.
One of the most important characteristics of tablet PCs is portability. Tablets are smaller and lighter than laptops, making it easy for users to carry them as needed. That said, tablets are too big to be carried in pockets or purses (like smartphones). Also, if the tablet is dropped, its screen can be damaged, so it's advisable to store and carry it in a good quality carrying case.
Viewability is another key characteristic. Since tablets are larger than smartphones, they are more suitable for applications that require higher viewability, including applications involving graphics like games or photo editing. Depending on the application, users can choose 5-inch, 7-inch, 9-inch and 10-inch tablet screen sizes. Larger tablets (13-inch diagonal screen size) are also available.
All tablets feature a capacitive touchscreen interface and offer users various "action" options to access and use applications, such as slide, pinch, etc. In addition, many devices accept input from a pen or stylus, provide a virtual keyboard and can be connected to an external QWERTY keyboard or mouse to enhance usability.
Modern tablets provide multiple connectivity options, meaning they can connect to the internet using WiFi and cellular networks. Web browsing capabilities, web browsers and multimedia applications are also built into tablets.
Finally, tablet PCs can be used in both portrait and landscape mode, depending on the user's requirement and application. The device incorporates an accelerometer with motion-sensing technology that can detect movement and tilt, which allows the screen to automatically rotate and change its mode to match the user's needs.
Today, the most common type of tablet is the slate style, like Apple's iPad, Microsoft's Surface or Amazon's Fire. External keyboards are available for most slate-style tablets, and some keyboards also function as docking stations for the devices.
Sometimes referred to as a convertible notebook, a hybrid notebook or a 2-in-1 laptop, a hybrid tablet is like a regular notebook, but has a removable display that functions independently as a slate. The device can be used as both a laptop and a tablet since it offers the features of the former and the convenience and portability of the latter.
A slate-like model that is designed to withstand rough handling and extreme conditions, a rugged tablet is usually encased in a thick protective shell and has a shock-protected hard drive. Rugged tablets are commonly used in manufacturing facilities, oil rigs, mines, construction sites, military operations and any other environment characterized by harsh conditions like chemical spills, extreme temperatures, shocks, vibrations, dust, humidity and water exposure.
The idea of tablet computing is generally credited to Alan Kay of Xerox, who sketched out the idea of a Dynabook in the late 1960s and early 1970s. However, the Dynabook was never actually built and the original predecessor of the tablet PC was the RAND Tablet. This device was developed in the 1960s and included a handwriting recognition program called GRAIL that allowed users to input text and shapes into a larger computer.
In 1987, two companies introduced tablet computers: Cambridge Computer (Z88) and Linus Technologies (Write-Top). The Z88 included an internal floppy drive, accepted input through a keyboard, and was more portable than the Write-Top. The Write-Top accepted input through a stylus, making it one of the first computing devices to do so.
The first widely sold tablet computer was Apple Computer's Newton, which was first shipped in 1993 and touted as a personal digital assistant. The Newton was not a commercial success and Apple discontinued it in 1998.
Since those early days, technological advances in battery life, display resolution, handwriting recognition software, memory and wireless internet access have made tablets a viable computing option. Today, consumers and businesses have a range of tablet devices and operating systems to choose from. Collectively, tablets have made numerous technological advances and gained increasing popularity in enterprise BYOD environments.
Apple is largely responsible for igniting tablets' current popularity, having released its first-generation iPad in April 2010. Since then, Apple has developed a family of associated devices, including the iPad Air, iPad Pro and iPad Mini.

Designing and building any high-usability application involves substantial work, and tablet apps entail a few additional issues, including the need to modify the user interface for different tablet models. This, combined with the popularity and ease of using websites on tablets, prompts the question of why companies would have a tablet app in the first place. In fact, we advise most companies to stick to their website and invest the resources in improving web usability, which still suffers badly in most companies.
But, like zombies, certain bad designs come back from the dead to haunt users, and frames-like concepts cause usability problems in many modern tablet designs. Two common problems are split-screen designs and temporary frames for search results and the like.
The R11L features numerous integrated data-capture modules for multiple ways to retrieve and transmit information on the move. Optional add-ons include a barcode reader, RFID reader, smart card reader, serial port and RJ-45 port.
A 2MP front camera, 8MP rear camera, Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth V5.3 also come as standard on this versatile tablet.
The robust design of the R11L tablet equips field operatives with the confidence to do their jobs in even the harshest environments and temperatures.
Drop-tested from 4 feet, MIL-STD-810H and MIL-STD-461F certified, optional ANSI C1D2 certified and with an IP66 rating for maximum protection against dust, dirt, and water ingress, the R11L is trusted to perform.
Google's versatile, dockable Pixel Tablet doubles as a home hub and a speaker dock-enabled assistant, and its multitasking features work great. You'll have to find your own stylus and keyboard options, but Google has otherwise served up a pretty great family iPad alternative for anyone in the Android ecosystem. A fast Google Tensor G2 processor, good front camera for video chats, and crisp display, plus a clean Google Android software experience, make this one of our favorite new tablets this year.
