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.
The original Surface Pro ran on a third-generation (Ivy Bridge) Core i5 processor with a TDP (Thermal Design Power) of 17W and required two (fairly noisy) fans to keep cool.
Since the Surface Pro 2, the maximum TDP has been 15W. The single-fan Surface Pro 3 suffered from overheating and fan noise issues, leading Microsoft to implement a hybrid liquid/fan cooling solution in the Surface Pro 4. The 2017 Surface Pro '5' with 7th-generation (Kaby Lake) Core m3 and Core i5 CPUs was entirely liquid cooled, although the Core i7 configuration required additional fan cooling, as does the Core i7-based Surface Pro 6.
