Samsung Galaxy Tab S4
$649.99
The Good

DeX mode is actually usable for doing real work • Top-notch display • Long battery life • Comes with S Pen

The Bad

Book Cover Keyboard costs extra • Not many DeX-optimized apps • Fragile glass back

The Bottom Line

Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S4 successfully juggles play and productivity with its special DeX mode, but the cost for the convenience is steep.

Microsoft Surface Go
$399 (starting)
The Good

Excellent build quality • Sharp • bright display • Windows Hello support • Built-in microSD card slot

The Bad

Sluggish performance • Janky touchscreen for some apps like Chrome • Keyboard and stylus sold separately • Huge • thick bezels around display

The Bottom Line

Microsoft’s Surface Go is the cheapest way to buy into the Surface ecosystem, but sluggish performance keeps it from competing with Apple’s iPads.

Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S4 is an Android tablet that becomes a pseudo-laptop when you need it

sudshr47 August 1, 2018

Walmart is having a killer sale on tech and home goods, with deals on GoPro cameras, Vizio TVs, Samsung tablets, and more

When it comes to deals, Walmart does not mess around. You can find just about anything at Walmart — from furniture and appliance to pet supplies and cameras — and for some pretty good prices, too. Unlike other retailers (ahem Amazon), Walmart always offers free two-day shipping for orders over $35. So yeah. There’s that too.

If you slept through Prime Day or are just still hankering for a good deal, there are plenty of appliances and furniture on sale right now during Walmart’s “Ultimate Summer Specials.” (Their words, not ours.) Read more…

Your eyes aren’t playing tricks on youMicrosoft’s new Surface Go really is a shrunken version of its popular Surface Pro.

The 10-inch Surface Go is Microsoft’s smallest, thinnest, and lightest Surface tablet to date. And with a starting price of $399, the Go is also the cheapest Surface as well.

A Surface RT (remember that disastrous tablet?) the Go is not. This mini Surface runs Windows 10 in its entirety and all x86 apps.

My first thought after a Microsoft executive pulled the Go out of her purse wasn’t, “Oh, that’s really small” but “Why?” Why would anyone need a mini Surface Pro? And it really is a smaller version of the 2-in-1 — hinge, keyboard cover, stylus, and all. Read more…
