Apple has been trying to blur the lines between tablets and computers and while the iPad Pro can replace a lot of what we’ve traditionally used our laptops for, there’s still a wide gap to fill to make them a true replacement or alternative.

Android tablets don’t generally offer the same class-leading hardware or software, but Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S series continues to buck the Android trend with outstanding hardware and Samsung-exclusive apps and software features that make it come close to closing that gap.
