Comparison test of website use with mobile phone and laptop computer
conference contribution
posted on 2014-08-19, 15:17 authored by Martin MaguireMartin Maguire, Min TangThe study compared user performance and subjective ratings
between a mobile phone and laptop computer for accessing the
internet. Twenty four participants were required to carry out two
equivalent sets of 5 tasks, one set of tasks with a mobile phone and the
other set with a laptop. It was found that the task times for the mobile
phone were higher than those of the laptop for all tasks but only significantly
different for two of the task pairs. The most important reason
for this result seemed to be the difference in size of the screens on
each device. Participants were also asked to rate the difficulty of each
task performed on both laptop and phone. Interestingly, participants
did not rate the difficulty of using the mobile phone significantly
higher than for the laptop. This seemed to be because of lower expectations
when using the mobile phone, good dexterity in zooming in
and out of the screen, and spending less time reviewing each page on
the phone than on the laptop before moving on another page.
