iPads Tablets & eReaders

The Kobo Elipsa 2E brings back the stylus that made the previous model unique amongst the company’s eReaders, including the big screen.

Tablets and iPads revolutionized how many people get and use the information on a daily basis. With an ever growing list of uses around the home, office, and everywhere in between, there is a perfect tablet for everyone.

Tablets are great devices for doing many things. They truly are the embodiment of multi-purpose technology. You can use a tablet to watch videos, play games, read books, surf the web, take photos, listen to music, participate in a video conference or write a report. But there is a huge range of options to choose from and despite the fact that they’re all “multi-purpose” devices, some tablets are better suited from some purposes than others. In this post, I single out tablets that have a reputation for being ideal for different activities.  

At this year’s Consumer Electronics Show, Samsung unveiled new Pro series tablets: the Galaxy NotePro and Galaxy TabPro. All four tablets share a number of common features like a high resolution (WQXGA) 2560 x 1600 pixel TFT LCD display, 8 megapixel rear camera, and Android 4.4 (KitKat). So which of these tablets is the right one for you, the Galaxy NotePro or the Galaxy TabPro? Here’s a breakdown of some of the key differences between the two and the target market for each.

Kobo has brought the Clara back in the form of the Clara 2E, an eReader that sits in the middle between entry-level and premium.

 Tablets are computers, but they aren’t necessarily the same as full-fledged laptops or desktops that offer the full breadth in hardware and software. That paradigm is slowly shifting, now that some tablets are being designed as full-on laptop replacements capable of creating content in much the same way. There are five tablets that do stand out in that regard, with promising abilities to help boost productivity, while shedding weight.  

One of the upsides in owning a Kobo eReader is the ability to view PDF files on the display and take them with you wherever you are.

The new Samsung Galaxy Tab A doesn’t go out of its way to be something it isn’t, which is why it succeeds as a tablet that sticks to the basics.

 It’s hard to believe, but Microsoft’s Surface Pro tablet is in its fourth generation. I spent a week test driving the Surface Pro 4 and despite being an iPad guy, this is the tablet I’d buy if I wanted a 2-in-1 device to replace my laptop.

Kobo sticks to a familiar design in helping you read anywhere you want to with the new Libra H2O, an eReader built to last.
