Samsung Galaxy TabPro S review: 2-in-1 tablet to rival Microsoft Surface Pro 4

The Samsung Galaxy TabPro S tablet has a lot going for it.

amsung’s Galaxy TabPro S Windows tablet is the latest in a line of devices including the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 and iPad Pro designed to persuade customers to ditch their laptops once and for all.

And while the TabPro S is up against some stiff competition, it succeeds by offering a decent all-round performance at a reasonable price.

With its 12-inch display, the TabPro S is a little smaller than the 12.3 inch Surface Pro 4 (not to mention the 12.7 inch iPad Pro), but is 2mm thinner and an impressive 70 grams lighter than its Microsoft rival.

Its Super Amoled display offers the image quality we’ve come to know and love from Samsung, with deep blacks and vivid colours that leap off the screen, the trailer Captain America: Civil War rendering beautifully.

The performance of the Tabpro S’s Intel Core M processor, coupled with 4GB of RAM is solid if not spectacular, and trails both the iPad Pro and Surface Pro 4. Unless you’re a hardcore gamer, its performance is more than adequate for the average daily workload.

The TabPro S’s keyboard case is where it struggles a little against its Microsoft rival.

It’s great that Samsung has included the case as standard but the typing experience falls a little short of the benchmark set by the Surface Pro 4, even if it is far more convincing that Apple’s iPad Pro’s keyboard cover.

The TabPro S retails for Dh3,899 for a Wi-Fi only version with 128GB of storage (with an LTE version available for an extra Dh100). This makes it about Dh600 cheaper than an entry-level Surface Pro 4 and Dh300 cheaper than the (albeit larger) 12.7 iPad Pro with equivalent storage.

Power users with a budget may still want to opt for the Surface Pro 4, given its superior keyboard, and the iPad Pro is still my choice for media consumption. But for those wanting a solid Windows 2-in-1 tablet at a decent price can’t go wrong with the TabPro S.

Firefox For Android Passes 100 Million Downloads In The Google Play Store Google's mobile version of Chrome has become the de facto standard browser for Android, but never let it be said that it's the only option. Mozilla Firefox, which predates Chrome on both desktop platforms and Android , has been downloaded from the Play Store 100 million times. Mozilla decided to toast the occasion on its official blog . Aside from the obvious user interface differences, the Android version of Firefox has gradually added compelling features like integration with synced Mozilla services (which are a godsend if you use the desktop browser as your primary web interface), extra user-accessible tools like a fullscreen switch, customized search engines, and add-ons that expand the base app's functionality. Though detailed download information isn't posted to the Play Store, it's probably second only to Chrome (and the original AOSP browser in markets like Chi
