Four business-class tablets available in the country and equipped with a super screen

Far from that childish gadget, as cheap as it is perishable, tablets in Argentina today occupy a premium position, with models suitable for office activities or travel. The four devices of executive class available in the country and equipped with a super screen.

To facilitate information processing, these devices support the use of a keyboard and also a stylus. And while not all of them include the full combination, they do offer the option to purchase the parts separately.

While the size standard is set at 9 inches – as it establishes an optimal balance between portability and comfort – these devices start at 11 and some exceed 12 inches.

The screen is the center of the tablet experience, which is why the four top-of-the-line models that meet the width criteria are: Xiaomi Pad 6, iPad Pro, Samsung Galaxy Tab S9, Lenovo Tab P12 Pro.

Xiaomi Pad6

One mistake many consumers make is believing that, due to their bulk, these devices must have an advanced camera system. The truth is, they were designed to be used in video chats more than getting a terrific shot.

Therefore, this section has a lot little influence in the evaluation of these devices. And even if the cameras perform correctly, they don’t reach the depth that you get with a mid-range mobile phone.

The Pad 6, just launched in Argentina, offers an attractive design with reduced and thin bezels (6.51 mm), a light weight of 490 grams and a one-piece fully metallic finish.

It has an 11-inch diagonal LCD panel (2,880 x 1,800 pixels) to reach a maximum brightness of 550 nits. The refresh rate is variable, with 7 levels and a maximum of 144 Hz. It is compatible with Dolby Vision and HDR10.

The basis of the device is the Snapdragon 870 processor – a chip found in some mid-range mobile phones – accompanied by a minimum of 6 GB of RAM. Keyboard and pen sold separately.

As regards autonomy, it is equipped with an internal battery with a capacity of 8840 mAh, a figure that guarantees a whole day of intensive use. With a decent 33W charger. It is available on 1,799,900 pesos.

iPadPro

With the inclusion of keyboard and pencil, the intention is to inaugurate a new category that competes for part of the territory with notebooks. The profile they are aiming for is that of an entrepreneur who usually mixes, in equal parts, working with entertainment.

Unlike a notebook, which provides great versatility, tablets can only work with three applications at the same time. The competitive advantage lies in the price, since they cost almost half of a laptop with similar characteristics.

And although they integrate mobile phone components into their structure, their pace of renewal is much slower, since not every year, as happens with the iPad, a new model is presented.

This iPad Pro, launching in late 2022, is the Better option within this selection. Not only for the price, but also for the performance it achieves. Includes an Apple Pencil.

This new generation is equipped with the M2 chip, the same as the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro. This SoC has an 8-core CPU, a 10-core graphics chip and a neural engine capable of processing 15.8 trillion operations per second .

Another novelty is the so-called floating pointer, thanks to which the pencil is detected up to 12 millimeters from the screen, so you can preview where you are going to mark before starting to trace.

The screen is once again Retina XDR, 12.9 inches, with a mini-LED matrix that reaches a maximum brightness of 1,600 nits. Inside there are 10 thousand mini LEDs distributed in more than 2,500 areas. The adaptive refresh rate is 120 Hz. It is sold at 1,600.00 pesos.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S9

A differentiating aspect of these devices is the screen resolution, which allows you to watch series or play games in high resolution. The secret of its brightness and definition lies, as happens with TVs and smartphones, in the technology of its panel.

The battle over quality pits LCD against OLED, in this case, in IPS LCD or AMOLED format. Overall, AMOLEDs get the edge, as they produce more vivid colors, deeper blacks, use less power, and are thinner and lighter than LEDs.

The Tab S9’s screen is 11 inches with Dynamic AMOLED 2X technology, resolution of 1,848 by 2,960 pixels, brightness of 550 nits and HDR10+, with a refresh rate of 120 Hz.

Furthermore, the South Korean company is one of the few manufacturers that renews its line every year. The models are so advanced that the nickname large cell phonefits perfectly, as many members of the Galaxy S 23 family have.

Without going any further, the Snapdragon 8 Generation 2 processor, from the S23 series, is comparable in power to Apple’s M2 and stands out for greater graphics performance for video games, as well as in very demanding graphics tasks and battery memory management.

To prevent the energy from the chip that powers this tablet from affecting its temperature, Samsung has designed an internal vapor chamber and a bidirectional dissipation system that, in theory, should prevent heat from spreading uncontrollably.

As for software, Samsung announced that it is committed to extending “four generations of One UI and five years of security updates to the Android operating system.”

The Galaxy Tab includes a book-style keyboard, allowing it to stand on its own, allowing you to adjust the device to portrait or landscape orientation to view content, without your hands for support. I am 2,189,999 pesos.

Lenovo Tab P12 Pro

To take advantage of multimedia content, it is essential that they include a good set of speakers inside them. For the most part they are paired four channels high power distributed in its corners.

For greater fidelity, they are compatible with Dolby Atmos technology, with the addition of a double bass reflex, which provides greater clarity not only for games, but also for enjoying music and videos.

The Tab P12 Pro features a 12.6-inch AMOLED panel in 16:10 aspect ratio and a frequency of 120 Hz. The resolution is 2,560 by 1,200 pixels, which translates to 240 pixels per inch.

As for the acoustics, it surprises with four JBL speakers compatible with Dolby Atmos. It’s backed by a generous 10,200mAh battery, with 45W fast charging, although the supplied adapter is 30W, which represents around two hours of charging.

The biggest problem is in the chip, since when this device was launched in late 2021, at that time the Snapdragon 870 was one of the best options available. It is obtained from 1,699,999 pesos.
