I believe that many of you have noticed that there are tons of complains about the weight of Amazon Kindle Fire. But I would say I actually appreciate the portability of the Fire brought to me. It is relatively lightweight and I prefer to bring my Kindle Fire instead of HP TouchPad anywhere, and I spend most of my time using Kindle Fire and leave TP at the corner. Let's work out some data before "fighting":
First let's define a parameter W/S=Weight/Screen Size, which means the smaller the W/S is, the better. Then we calculate W/S (g/in) for some popular ereader tablets:
EReaders Weight(grams) Screen Size(inches) W/S Rank
Nook Tablet 400 7 57 1
Lenovo IdeaPad A1 400 7 57 1
Kindle Fire 413 7 59 3
BlueBery Playbook 425 7 61 4
IPad 2 601 9.7 62 5
Nook Color 450 7 64 6
IPad 1 680 9.7 70 7
HP TouchPad 740 9.7 76 8

From the above calculations, we can easily see that Nook Tablet and Lenovo A1 are the winners though the numbers are pretty close among the 7" tablets.HP TouchPad has the worst W/S. It is also impressive that with the big 9.7"screen, IPad 2 even has lower W/S than Nook Color. IPad 2 does a very good job. We also determine that Kindle Fire ranks No. 3 which is not as bad as many complained. Yes, Amazon could have done better to further reduce the W/S by using material Al as used by IPad (Any patent issue? I do not like such kind of patent).
In summary, Kindle Fire does its job and it is not too heavy compared to other similar tablets. I would say again, think in your own way and pick the right tablet which best fits your needs. | K*0 发帖数: 124 | 2 为啥不是算重量/面积?
