Tablet use patterns and drivers of user satisfaction: A gender approach

Abstract

Understanding what for, when and where Computer Science students at the University of Costa Rica use tablets and identifying gender differences in their use were our goals. An online survey, which included closed and open questions, was conducted. Results show that women use their tablet more for leisure and appreciate it for its usability. Non-working men use tablets also for leisure but value their functionality. Finally, working men are more interested in tablets as support to their work, and value usability more than non-working men. © 2013 Springer International Publishing.
