8 Best iPad Pro 2021 Alternatives You Can Buy
Apr. 26, 2021If there is one company that gives stiff competition to Apple in any product category, it’s Samsung. Despite Google not putting effort behind Android to build a tablet-optimized OS, Samsung has taken it upon itself tooptimize the Android OS for its tablet lineup. For the past few years, Samsung has been launching new and exciting tablets in the Android ecosystem that can truly compete with Apple’s best iPads.
You get all these features on the Lenovo Duet and without paying any extra charge. Lenovo bundles the magnetic keyboard with the tablet out of the box. All you have to buy is a new USI stylus for doodling and writing on the Duet. As for the processor, the Lenovo Duet Chromebook ispowered by MediaTek P60T, which is not as powerful as the M1 chip but suffices the need with a battery life of over 10 hours.
At the core, the tablet runs onSnapdragon 730G, which is a mid-tier Qualcomm chip and nowhere close to the Apple M1 chipset. The base variant comes with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, a dual-camera setup, 20W fast charging, and more. The tablet is currently available in the UK, Europe, and India.
Apart from the ARM-powered Surface Pro X, Microsoft has many offerings in the tablet-computer form factor. Let’s start with the Surface Go 2. It’s a 10.5-inch touchscreen Windows 10 tablet with a kickstand on the back. You can also separately buy a keyboard accessory and make it a full-fledged PC to use on the go.Surface Go 2 runs on low-powered mobile Intel processorssuch as the Pentium and M3. As is evident from the processor, the Surface Go 2 is best for lightweight tasks like media consumption and browsing the web. It starts at $399.99.Surface Book 3
Coming to Surface Book 3, it’s a powerful laptop in large screen sizes that you can also use as tablets. The Microsoft Surface Book 3 comes in 13.5-inch and 15-inch sizes and can be magnetically attached to the keyboard. You have 10th-gen Intel processors starting from Core i5, coupled with a discrete graphics card from Nvidia onboard. The base variant comes with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of SSD storage.Surface Pro 7
Finally, we have the Surface Pro 7 that is, in a way, an extension of the Surface Go 2. It brings a larger screen with a powerful 10th-gen Intel processor under the hood. I would primarily suggest you use it as a tablet, but you can attach the removable type cover to make it a full-fledged PC. The base variant has 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.
