5 things you can replace with a tablet

The Ubislate 7Ci is by far the cheapest tablet you will ever come across. The performance is dismal, its camera is horrible and the battery life barely lasts. However, lets not dwell on what the 7Ci cant do, lets consider what it can do! And that’s where things get interesting – we can use this tablet to replace a lot of things in our lives. Here are 5 things around the house and office that you can replace with the Ubislate 7Ci…


Alarm Clock
There is a free and alarm clock-like app called the Night Clock. When you think about it the tablet is the perfect replacement for your alarm clock radio: it will be able to stream live radio, the morning news or provide today’s calendar.

Magic Mirror
By using your tablet’s camera you can create a wall mirror! There are a number of different ways to mount your tablet onto the wall if you want to keep it there for a while, and it should be near a wall outlet for charging.

Desk Weather Station
You can know what the weather is like anywhere in the world? Well, with the 7Ci you can have a dedicated weather station on your desk. Use a widget to keep up to date via the free Weather and Clock Widget app, but there are many other options to download.

Skype Interface
Okay, this may not be the best experience with the 7Ci since its not very beefy and the speakers aren't great, but in theory having a dedicated Skype interface on your wall or on your desk may be a very helpful thing to have a round.

Remote Computer Monitor
This works far better than you think it would, download the Chrome RemoteDesktop extension and associated app and you can access your desktop directly from your tablet. It allows you to control your entire desktop and files that lie within.

When tablets were introduced to the world we definitely didn't have the 7Ci in mind, it is an exciting new gadget at an affordable price that we all can afford. Plus it can be used for just about anything!
