The iPad Pro also gets its own on-screen keyboard, which uses the additional resolution that’s available. With the new keyboard you get dedicated number keys and shortcuts to cut, copy and paste. It makes typing without a dedicated keyboard a lot quicker than with the old iPad keyboard.

Since then, iOS 9.2 has been introduced, with the big stand out feature for iPad Pro owners, MailDrop. This is a feature that made its appearance on OS X Yosemite, letting people send large attachments of up to 5GB via iCloud. Now, MailDrop is a part of iOS. It works seamlessly: just select a file from iCloud Drive or Photos and tap Send and you'll be asked if you want to use MailDrop. The recipient then either gets a link to download the file or, if they're running iOS 9.2 or OS XYosemiteor above, the attachment looks like any other and is automatically downloaded.

This feature is brilliant news for anyone that wants to use their iPad for work, as it means that they can send large files and documents easily, without having to find an intermediate way of doing it. It may be a small addition, but it will help improve productivity and gives the iPad Pro another feature that regular computers already have.

With the Pixel C, Google imagines a tablet as more than just aportablewindow into the internet. These things have to be good for more than endless Candy Crush and Netflix, right?The current thinking is tablets needs to evolve, and so Google, like its rivals, has created its own, kinda-sorta work tablet, complete with keyboard accessory. Although I did manage to get work done on this thing, the hefty price didn’t justify the minimal convenience.

The Pixel C is a 10.2-inch tablet running Android 6.0 Marshmallow. It’s a 100 percent Google product; from the hardware design to the stock Android OS. It’s the first tablet that Google’s ever made without the help of a hardware partner, like Samsung or HTC. The 32GB base model costs $500, plus another $150 if you want the Bluetooth keyboard.

Don’t be fooled by the advertising. ‘Outstanding Performance... powered by the latest quad-core Intel Cherry Trail processor, so it not only breezes through everyday tasks, it also delivers faster-than-ever graphics - up to twice as fast as previous generations.’
The previous Chi managed 18fps inBatmanat lowest detail and limited 1280x720 resolution. This T100HA instead averaged 19fps, leaving it equally useless for action gaming, not that gaming is likely to be a priority with such a device.

To give it usable battery life in Windows, an underpowered processor is fitted, the Intel Atom x5-Z8500. This new 1.44GHz chip is quad-core, backed with 2GB memory. In Geekbench it proved faster than an iPhone 5s, multi-core; but far slower in more typical single-core operation (3095 vs 2532 points; and 948 vs 1406 points).
PCMark reported a better score than previous version, rising from a desultory 1223 points in Home unit, to 1338. Any score below 2000 points is cause for concern.
Battery runtime was better than most Windowslaptops– 11 hr 38 min in the Wi-Fi video test. But should it run flat it’ll take about as long to recharge. From a flat battery, it took 45 mins before it would even start. And thereafter around 12 hours to reach full charge.

ASUS TRANSFORMER T100HA REVIEW: FEATURES AND DESIGN
Like all convertibles, the T100HA is hamstrung as a laptop, and poorly balanced thanks to therearwardmass of the tablet screen. The inkling to fit a touchscreen overrode the necessity of readability, and again the screen is too reflective. Screen rake has some adjustment though.
For storage it uses an eMMC card, as fitted to phones, rather than a laptop SATA drive. It’s a sluggish solution, and in our testing we found the Asus terminally slow in daily tasks. One time it took six or seven clicks of the File Explorer icon to launch. Thirty seconds later, six windows opened at once. Another time we disovered a new Windows message not encountered before – ‘working on it...’ – to at least let us know something was ticking under the bonnet.
Asus has addressed one deal-breaker fault from before, Bluetooth to connect tablet andkeyboard. The T100HA has electrical connection in the hinge, so you’re not left waiting for re-pairs each time you type. There’s no hassle to recharge the battery-less keyboard either.

We did find problems with the fiddly power button. It once failed to boot up with USB power attached, despite a full battery. Pulling the power fixed this.
Another problem was a frozen cursor from dead trackpad. A complete reboot fixed this. We also noticed while sat on the desk like a laptop, it could spontaneously switch the screen into sideways portrait mode.
The display has lower resolution now, down from 1920x1080 to 1280x800 pixels. An excellent contrast ratio up to 830:1 makes this IPS screen stand out, even if colour gamut is down at 78 percent sRGB. An average Delta E of just 1.08 is commendable.
SPECS

The new processor is as slow as before butincreasedeconomy let it provide a further hour of tortoise operation. Windows is no more compelling on a tablet than it was with previous Transformers, leaving us a slow and unreliable 10in laptop, weighing little over a kilo and with a pretty IPS screen.
They are the must-have Christmas gift, with major stores reporting massive demand for hoverboards.
But while they are great fun, there has been a string of warnings to customers about many of the boards catching fire.

In Auburn, Washington, a hoverboard was filmed on fire in the local mall. Luckily nobody was injured.
Timothy Cade, from Gulf Shores, Alabama, was riding hishoverboardwhich he had just purchased from Amazon when it caught fire. He said despite the danger, he is going to buy a replacement.
