Combined with the detachable keyboard and Surface Pen, it can be used very similarly to a laptop.

There are two Thunderbolt 4 ports, a USB-C port, and a USB-A port.

It’s somewhat costly, but it’s also the best tablet on the market right now.

Meanwhile, the processors offer amazing performance for handling more demanding tasks.

The 14-inch 4K touchscreen is a good size to help you see your projects clearly.

Plus, the two Thunderbolt 4 ports (one USB-C, one USB-A) allow for more connection options.

Just note that running more graphically demanding programs can drain the battery faster.

However, it does offer solid performance while still having an affordable entry-level price tag of under $700.

That’s not a common feat for a equipment that can operate as both a tablet and a laptop.

It’s slim and sleek and there are plenty of accessories out there to make it even more useful.

The problem is, Windows and Apple devices don’t play nice together.

The same is true of the latest iPad Pro.

Plus, snagging a compatible keyboard accessory can make it easy to punch in up assignments and take notes.

This can make it odd to use in virtual classes and meetings when the tablet is in landscape orientation.

It’s easy to use the tablet solo and the Thunderbolt ports allow it to connect to other monitors.

The biggest area to watch out for is battery life.

It conveniently comes with an S Pen stylus and you could purchase a keyboard case separately for easier typing.

When you think Android tablet you probably think Galaxy Tab, and there’s a good reason for that.

This is thanks to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset that it utilizes.

The latest 2-in-1 devices are like Frankenstein tablets that can be used as both a laptop and tablet.

However other 2-in-1s literally detach from their keyboards allowing them to feel and look more like tablets.

These beauties offer far more possibilities than their Android counterparts.

Of course, Microsoft’s Surface Pro 9 is the most powerful among them all.
