First look: Galaxy Tab S7 and S7 Plus [in pictures]
At Samsung's online-only "Galaxy Unpacked" event this week, the company unveiled two new Android-based tablets, Tab S7 and S7 Plus.
Since its debut in February 2013, Microsoft's Surface Pro has developed into an exemplary tablet/laptop-replacement device, and also inspired a thriving 'clone' market. Here are some of its key evolutionary stages.
A key adjunct to the Surface Pro is the Surface Pen, which has evolved from a Wacom-made 256-pressure-level stylus in the Surface Pro to a sophisticated N-Trig pen with 4,096 pressure levels, 21ms latency, 9g activation force, tilt support, and three different tips, all of which makes for natural-feeling inking and shading.
Since the Surface Pro 3, the Pen has included a Bluetooth option where a button click opens OneNote on the tablet. With the Surface Pro 4, the ability to take a screenshot and open Cortana was added to this now-customisable 'magic button'.
The Surface Pen was bundled with the tablet until the Surface Pro '5', but is now sold separately for £99.99 in the UK or $99.99 in the US.
