The best iPad Pro alternatives for students and professionals should not only feature the best hardware, but they should also provide functionality for tons of practical use cases. Apple’s new iPad Pro is undoubtedly a good device and for students, the company offers affordable pricing plans. But if you are still looking for some better iPad Pro alternatives, here are the options.

Compared to affordable phones, budget tablets aren’t a great value

The best thing about buying a cheap tablet is that it won’t cost a lot: $50 can get you a Wi-Fi-enabled tablet that can access the internet, video chat, and run popular apps, including social media and streaming services. That’s a fantastically low barrier to entry, and those capabilities match the scope of what a large percentage of people demand from a device, be it a tablet

The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 release is just a few weeks away. After months of rumors, concept videos, speculations about new smartphone features, hardware and specifications, all the rumors will soon culminate in what is arguably the best Android smartphone of the year. The successor to the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is coming this year.

Samsung has big plans for its smartphone product line. The company has already introduced five smartphones this year – S10, S10 Plus, S10e, S10 5G, and Galaxy Fold.

1. Time your purchase

Plan everything carefully because that’s how you’re going to save more money. An unplanned purchase is an open invitation to huge credit card bills. There are times when prices go down. Don’t buy anything soon after its release. Wait for some time, a month or a year and buy it when the prices are slashed. A gadget can wait, but a financial crisis won’t. So, stop putting yourself at such risk.

2. There’s a right time to buy anything

Just like how people plan their holida

DESIGN

What will Apple do with the iPhone design in 2019? If these renders are an accurate depiction, it may be one of the most visually challenging iPhone models we’ve ever seen. The renders show a large camera bump in the top corner, containing three camera lenses and a flash unit. Aside from the unusual arrangement of the lenses, what stands out is the rear panel may be made of a single piece of glass. The front of the iPhone shows the screen retains the same wide notch introduced on the

Huawei’s Mate 20 X is a gaming and media tablet masquerading as a massive smartphone, and it does a pretty good job of it.

Better late than never, as the old saying goes. The Mate 20 X was among the most interesting Mate 20 phones, but it never really saw the light of day outside of a few Southeast Asian countries. Not until recently, that is.

The Mate 20 X has now launched in a few European markets and while the chances are that the P30 is already around the corner, the Mat

A few years back, LG for Mobile World Congress showed off one of the wildest devices I had ever seen. With a bit of finagling, you could pop off the bottom of the G5's body and swap it out with a camera controller or a high-quality audio DAC. The idea didn't last long, but it spoke to the kinds of risks the company was willing to take to build (what seemed to it, at least) like a winner.

I bring up the G5 now, years later, because it was ambitious and interesting in a way most smartphon

Surface Pro 6

Microsoft’s Surface Pro 6 is the new iPad Pro rival that beats Apple’s new tablet on many fronts. Durability tests have revealed that the Surface Pro 6 is better than the iPad Pro and why this is important because here we are talking about students and professionals who are more likely to use their tablet in different work conditions. They carry it, they use it outdoors and most importantly, they want more performance power from their preferred tablet.

Run-of-the-mill specs

 

In terms of specifications, the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL are mostly run-of-the-mill 2018 flagships: Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 845 chip is here, together with a minimum 64GB storage option and 4GB of RAM which Google is surprisingly sticking with for the third year in a row now. Speaking of things that are not new, the sole 12.2-megapixel camera is once again making a return, though the single-lens selfie solution from last year has now been replaced with an 8-megapixel du

Sony is following in Nintendo’s footsteps and bringing back its original PlayStation console nearly 25 years after its initial release as a miniature gaming device called the PlayStation Classic, the company announced today.

The device will cost $99.99 ( €99.99 / 9,980 yen) and, similar to Nintendo’s NES and SNES Classic consoles, will come pre-loaded with 20 “genre-defining” titles, including Final Fantasy VII, Tekken 3, and Ridge Racer Type 4. The device will launch on December 3rd.

The iPhone Xs is indistinguishable from last year’s iPhone X. As the “S” moniker suggests, it brings modest upgrades, but from what we’ve seen so far, you likely won’t want to upgrade to it over the iPhone X. That doesn’t mean it’s bad — it’s just the least interesting iPhone announced today because it’s so similar to last year’s model. It’s a compelling product for Android owners looking to switch, or for people looking to upgrade anything older than an iPhone 8. Let’s take a closer

The 8 Best Smartphones of 2018 So Far

1. SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 9

S Pen

For a few months last year, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 lived at the top of this list, eventually being knocked down by the iPhone X and then Huawei P20 Pro. With the recent launch of the Galaxy Note 9 and a few days of heavy usage it is time to put the Note 9 back on top as the best smartphone currently available.

The Galaxy Note 9 improves upon the Note 8 with a Bluetooth S Pen, more internal capacity and RAM, a massive 4,000 mAh battery, improved dual rear cameras

The new YouTube Music is out. We’ve heard about this a ton over the last year. It’s going to eventually replace Google Play Music in Google’s lineup and, unlike its predecessor, it links directly to YouTube in a ton of ways. It’s one of Google’s more ambitious releases over the last year or so as it hopes to compete with the likes of music streaming juggernauts like Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, and others. Could this be the one that breaks the mold? Silly, required rhetorical questions asid
