Samsung Galaxy Tab pictures

By Greg Mombert September 2, 2010

Piggybacking on the success of their Galaxy S line of smartphones, Samsung has released the Galaxy Tab. The device will feature a 7-inch 1,024 by 600-pixel display, and like their Galaxy S phones, the Galaxy Tab will run on Android 2.2. The tablet is expected to compete with Apple’s iPad, and it offers some features the iPad currently lacks, such as Flash support, front and rear facing cameras, and microSD support for additional storage. The Galaxy Tab is powered by a 1 GHz Cortex processor along with 512 MB of RAM. It also features 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0, and 3G connectivity.

Samsung has not announced pricing or any potential carrier partners for the device in the U.S. or in other markets.

Check out the video below to see the tablet in action.

MacBooks could soon fall behind the iPad Pro in this important way

The iPad Pro (2022) sitting in the Magic Keyboard.

The dynamic balance between the Mac and the iPad may be about to shift again. Both the MacBook Air and iPad Pro will reportedly get updated this spring, boosting performance with the inclusion of the new M3 chip.

But a new report from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman indicates that a new "landscape Face ID camera" may be in the works for the iPad Pro, potentially taking away one of the main advantages that MacBooks have over iPads. With so much of work happening in video calls, the iPad Pro might become a far better laptop replacement in this new generation.

When the iPad is a better computer than my PC

Apple iPad Pro 11 with Apple Magic Keyboard.

Can the iPad work as a real computer? I'm well aware that I'm not first to raise this question. It is, however, the first time for me to ask the question of myself. After all, everyone's needs for a proper "computer" are different, and I've never given it a fair shake.

I'm running an iPad Pro 11-inch that uses an 8-core CPU/10-core GPU Apple M2, which is an insane amount of power to pack into a tablet. And I've recently added a Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil into the mix, making it look a lot like a regular laptop. It still has limitations, but with all that on doard, I found myself surprised at how good of a computer the iPad Pro can really be.
What's a real computer, anyway?

The 4 best Samsung laptops for work and play in 2024

The Samsung Galaxy Book Pro laptop with an open screen.

Samsung has one of the biggest ecosystems besides Apple, especially when you consider all the things it makes, such as TVs, tablets, phones, home appliances, and a ton more. If you like said ecosystem and want to maintain it with your computer, then grabbing a Samsung laptop makes a lot of sense. Much like some might buy a MacBook to stay in the Apple ecosystem, Samsung laptops allow you to keep enjoying its ecosystem while having an excellent laptop that's thin and powerful, much like MacBooks.

While Samsung does have a good but relatively small selection of laptops, it can still be a bit overwhelming if you don't have familiarity with laptops or Samsung computers. To that end, we've collected some of our favorite Samsung laptop picks in various price ranges and performance categories. That way, you can focus on your actual needs rather than being overwhelmed with deciphering the very similarly-named Samsung laptops.
