| Bottom line | The
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is a stunning tablet with a truly useful stylus, but it's not worth $400 unless you're an artist or prefer pen input. | The latest
iPad adds several tweaks and improvements to secure its position at the top of the tablet heap. It's better all around, but third-gen owners need not apply. | If you're an early adopter willing to forget everything you know about navigating a computer, the Surface
tablet could replace your laptop. Everyone else: wait for more apps. |
