Huawei Matebook

Huawei Matebook review

A mashup of the iPad Pro and the Surface Pro 4, Huawei's Matebook is a beautiful Windows 10 tablet. Can it compete in an increasingly crowded market?
Chuwi Hi12

Chuwi Hi12 Windows 10 2-in-1 review

Windows 2-in-1s are expensive. Not the Chuwi Hi12. The tablet portion is just $250, and the keyboard dock adds only $50 more. That’s an incredible price, but can a device this inexpensive deliver an acceptable Windows experience?
bq aquaris m10 ubuntu edition review 1

BQ Aquaris M10 Ubuntu Edition Black review

Ubuntu makes BQ’s Aquaris M10 feel like the Surface RT of Linux tablets, and that’s not a compliment. With lackluster software support and shoddy performance, there are few redeeming factors to justify its purchase.
Samsung TabPro S

Samsung TabPro S review

Samsung new Windows 10-powered Galaxy TabPro S is more tablet than 2-in-1, with NFC and a Super AMOLED display, but its mobile-first approach results in a long list of headaches.

Microsoft Surface 3 review

Microsoft’s entry-level Surface has always played second fiddle to the supercharged Surface Pro, but the new Surface 3 runs full-blown Windows 8.1 just like its Pro sibling. Does that make it almost as capable, or does its budget hardware hold it back?

Google Nexus 9 review

The Nexus 9 is undeniably a powerful, beautiful tablet and to top it all off, it’s running pure Android as Google intended. But will the allure of Lollipop, a killer screen, and long-lasting battery be enough to catapult the Nexus 9 into the big leagues?
