Samsung

Galaxy TabPro S

But all the nuances, but the main thing is that tablets Windows gradually cease to be a marginal device that shakes only a few sympathizers Microsoft and computer manufacturers. And all who waited “sometimes the computer” for the authorship of a famous brand, finally got a suitable option for purchase.

Huawei

The ability to go against fashion fascinates us and, in the case of Chinese brands — Huawei still manage to produce quality devices in unpopular classes, gadgets and in many cases is the only possible option for the reactionaries.

So in January, Huawei was released luxury 10-inch tablet with a display with an aspect ratio of 16:10. Today in this class are operating only last year’s model Sony and Lenovo with “hanger”. In General, long overdue.

Hisense

Vidaa Mirror

But this hero is rather a prototype and the unknown when going into batch production, but he is so handsome that not to mention it is simply impossible.

After Samsung became more cautious and ceased to squander money on spectacular novelties, the palm in innovation was intercepted by the Chinese. Hisense, to put it mildly, not very cool from a technological point of view, the brand, and all the engineers from China has managed to create a tablet with the world’s thinnest part around the screen. Goblin knows how to use it, but looks great!

We tested EliteBook Folio second generation, and it should be noted that in some aspects fanless HP surpasses the flagship of the “Apple” model.
