Joe Hindy — Thu, 19 Oct 2023 16:05:45 GMT

Samsung's naming schemes can make things difficult sometimes. One such example is the Samsung Galaxy S9 FE and its larger sibling, the FE+.

Forget foldable phones, the first foldable iPad could be just around the corner

Oliver Haslam — Thu, 19 Oct 2023 13:29:20 GMT

There is an ever-growing collection of foldable phones on the market but you won't find a bendy iPhone among them. That doesn't mean that Apple isn't working on something that folds in the middle, however, with a new report suggesting that it has its eyes on a different form factor entirely.

Apple Pencil (USB-C) vs Apple Pencil (2nd Generation): What's the difference?

Adam Davidson — Thu, 19 Oct 2023 09:30:38 GMT

A new Apple device is almost always a source of great excitement, especially among Apple fans. Sometimes, however, the announcement may not be a new iPhone or a new iPad but rather something that enhances those devices and perhaps, therefore, not met with quite the same levels of hysteria. That could probably be said for the announcement of the new Apple Pencil, but before you disregard it as a boring announcement, there are some reasons to get excited. Most notably, if you've wanted an Apple Pencil but have been put off by the price tag, the new Apple Pencil (USB-C) is the most affordable Apple Pencil to date.

Owning an Amazon Fire tablet means having access to a number of different entertainment experiences.

The USB-C Apple Pencil is the most affordable yet with a strange mishmash of features

Oliver Haslam — Tue, 17 Oct 2023 13:29:20 GMT

As part of Apple's quest to ditch Lightning in favor of USB-C the company has now announced an updated Apple Pencil. But rather than just replace the Lightning connector with a USB-C one, Apple's gone a different route. There's a USB-C port, rather than a connector, and the new stylus is a strange mishmash of Apple Pencil and Apple Pencil 2 features.

Saeed Wazir — Fri, 13 Oct 2023 18:10:46 GMT

Graphic designers, artists and other professionals who sketch or draw for a living need a responsive touchscreen with outstanding brightness and color accuracy to bring their work to life. The best tablets for graphic design emulate the natural feeling of drawing on paper and have large, clear displays with high pressure sensitivity pens and other specialised features to differentiate them from regular iPads and Android tablets. That's not to say regular tablets won't work for graphic design - many artists use them because of their multifunction capabilities and portability.

Best Microsoft Surface Go 3 cases 2023

Joe Hindy — Thu, 05 Oct 2023 22:00:31 GMT

The Microsoft Surface Go 3 is a decent little tablet. You can also easily connect Microsoft's Type Cover to it and turn it into a laptop. It doesn't stack up as well to other products in the Surface lineup, but its versatility and functionality are definitely worth it. However, like all tablets, dropping it can have catastrophic consequences. So if you travel with your device or are known for frequent drops, it might be in your interest to prevent damage and buy a case for your new 2-in-1.

Apple revealed the 10th generation of the entry-level iPad in October 2022, offering a redesign, chip upgrade and a colour refresh over its predecessor. The redesign of the entry level iPad sees it finally ditch the Home Button and opt for a very similar look to the iPad Air, compared to the older design still found on the 9th generation iPad.

Kristopher Jensen — Mon, 02 Oct 2023 19:03:19 GMT

Amazon's tablets aren't the most premium tablet, like the Samsung Galaxy or an iPad models, but that's not what the ubiquitous company is going for. Instead, Amazon has decided to hit an important market niche: Affordable prices that don't push the performance envelope.

Interchangeable tips could change how you use your Apple Pencil, but it still won't have this key feature

Oliver Haslam — Mon, 02 Oct 2023 12:47:19 GMT

The Apple Pencil hasn't changed all that much in recent years. In fact, the current Apple Pencil 2 has been around since October 2018 which means we're half a decade into its life cycle. It's fine but perhaps it's time for something new. That something new could be the Apple Pencil 3 and if this new leak is accurate, it might be about to change the way you use Apple's stylus forever.

Amazon's Fire tablet range is among the best value for money around, offering a lot of convenient features for very little money.

Best kids tablets 2023

Adam Davidson — Tue, 26 Sep 2023 19:03:29 GMT

Kids these days are so used to touchscreen technology that even the youngest can swipe away notifications on a phone like it's their second nature. Whilst giving your kids a tablet can feel a bit like you're handing off your parenting to a machine, they can be incredibly useful educational tools. And, if we're honest, sometimes letting them watch YouTube Kids for a bit so that we can make dinner without them destroying the house is the only sensible option.

Latest iPad deal slashes $100 off the 5th-gen Air

Kristopher Jensen — Tue, 26 Sep 2023 16:41:53 GMT

The essential selling point between the iPad Air and the baseline model is that the Air is slimmer and lighter without compromising functionality. That weight difference is just a matter of ounces, so it's really not all that meaningful. What is meaningful is the fact that a hundred dollars off this prestige tablet, Apple's latest model, is a huge savings. We reviewed the iPad Air 5th Gen and said it went "from being a great slate to an even greater one, as the 2022 model is even faster in terms of performance and connectivity."

Best Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 cases: Upgrade your tablet protection in style

Ian Carlos Campbell — Wed, 20 Sep 2023 13:30:29 GMT

The Galaxy Tab S9 is Samsung's entry-level tablet, without the ridiculous size or display quality of S9 Ultra, or the dual cameras of the S9 Plus. But that doesn’t mean you're losing out.

Leveraging the same M2 processor found in Apple's Mac lineup, both Apple's 12.9-inch and 11-inch iPad Pro models pack power and productivity, especially thanks to an iPadOS that allows for Stage Manager support.

Melissa Perenson — Fri, 18 Aug 2023 20:31:23 GMT

Long live the stylus. Nothing replaces the feel of a pen in hand, manually putting your thoughts to paper instead of tapping on a keyboard. To support the stylus-loving crowd, a wave of E Ink tablets that replicate the feel of paper join mainstays like the Apple iPad Pro and ReMarkable 2 to offer enthusiasts more choices than ever. And this list of top note-taking options includes everything from glare-free E Ink displays to brilliant LED or LCD screens for every budget and use case.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 vs Apple iPad Pro 11-inch: Which one is right for you?

Jason Cipriani — Fri, 18 Aug 2023 19:37:00 GMT

Samsung revealed the updated Galaxy Tab S9 portfolio of tablets during its Unpacked event at the end of July. The standard Galaxy Tab S9 saw a price jump to $799 in the US and £799 in the UK, making it the same price as Apple's 11-inch iPad Pro in the US, though slightly cheaper in the UK. Both tablets are therefore not only the same size, but at similar price points too, so it makes perfect sense that you might be trying to workout how the two compare and decide between them.

Max Freeman-Mills — Wed, 16 Aug 2023 13:03:17 GMT

Tablets are pretty hard to differentiate from each other - although there are differences you can spot in design and materials, they all look pretty similar from the front, unless there's something radically different.

Special coupon brings 9th generation back down to $250

Dave LeClair — Mon, 14 Aug 2023 18:00:23 GMT

The 9th generation Apple iPad is one of the best values in the tablet space at its regular $329 price, but at $249.99, it's a really impressive deal.

If you're heading back to school and want something more portable than a laptop, tablets are a great option. With various productivity and note-taking apps, they make for great digital notebooks, and a keyboard case can even protect and convert your tablet into a more comprehensive laptop.

Jules Wang — Thu, 10 Aug 2023 01:42:24 GMT

Dave LeClair — Wed, 09 Aug 2023 20:10:28 GMT

Roh, the head Samsung’s mobile division, is already thinking about what's next.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra review: Sometimes bigger is better, other times... not so much

Jason Cipriani — Wed, 09 Aug 2023 15:35:20 GMT

Not wanting to be left out, Samsung's Galaxy Tab S9 lineup received an update alongside the launch of Samsung's flagship folding phone for 2023. Of the new family of devices, the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra is the largest and it still has a giant display that's almost comically too big for a tablet. It has the added benefit of being waterproof this year, whether you see that as a particular benefit or not.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE rumours: What's the story so far?

Adam Davidson — Tue, 08 Aug 2023 12:30:25 GMT

Marketing is a wonderful thing. Samsung dropped the 'lite' moniker from the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 and named the next version of its mid-range tablet the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 Fan Edition (FE). Apparently, focus groups determined that users saw 'lite' devices as being a lesser version of its products. Thus, the Fan Edition was born.

Best Samsung Galaxy Tab S9+ cases 2023

Jules Wang — Thu, 03 Aug 2023 20:30:28 GMT

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9+ can not only run Android apps and games for many hours at a time while connected to the nearest 5G tower, but it can also double as a cafeteria tray and hold your lunch, too. No, slapping a slice of pizza on top of that illustrious 12.4-inch AMOLED display won't ruin it (unless said pizza is literally on fire). That said, you might want to get a case for it if you're looking to protect your Tab S9+ from more realistic situations like croissant crumbs and coffee spills.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 hands-on

Chris Hall — Wed, 26 Jul 2023 11:00:45 GMT

Android tablets are enjoying something of a renaissance. That certainly seems to be the case if you look at the increased range of options that have appeared on the market over the past 12 months. It's a reaction to the events of 2020 and 2021, where there was greater demand for such devices, as people suddenly found themselves stuck and home and wanting more screens.

How to connect a webcam to your iPad for better video calls

Jason Cipriani — Tue, 18 Jul 2023 10:54:20 GMT

All of Apple's iPad tablets have a front-facing camera that's used for video calls, and on some models, for Face ID to unlock the tablet and other apps. But if we're being honest, the FaceTime camera on most iPad models isn't great. Help is on the way, however. When Apple releases iPadOS 17 this fall, iPad owners will gain the option to connect a webcam to their tablet and use it for video calls (you'll find a list of compatible iPads at the bottom of the post).

Jason Cipriani — Sat, 15 Jul 2023 12:18:20 GMT

Apple released its public beta program for iOS 17, iPad OS 17, macOS 14 Sonoma and watchOS 10 along with the Apple TV and HomePod in the middle of July. The program gives regular users a chance to preview and help test the unfinished software updates expected to arrive for Apple's hardware lineup later this year. That said, it's important to keep in mind the software isn't finished, which means there are bugs and battery life issues. For that reason, it's a good idea to only install any of the betas if you're willing to deal with the occasional hiccup or have a secondary device you can use for testing.
