Is there a better alternative?

For the best of both worlds, the iPad Pro offers a rich multitasking experience, especially with the new iPadOS interface. Or take a look at the iPad Air, which also receives the latest iPadOS updates and is more reasonably priced, starting at $499. Apple’s most affordable iPad can also now be used as 2-in-1, and at $329 to start, it’s a good budget alternative.

　　The Microsoft Surface Pro 7 is the best alternative at this price tag if you’re looking for a 2-in-1 laptop and tablet hybrid.

　　Alternatively, you can get the HP Chromebook x2 with access to Android apps, though the app experience is clunky.

How long will it last?

The Galaxy Tab S6 should last you three to four years before the battery’s endurance noticeably lessens.

　　

Should you buy it?

Yes, if you’re looking for a laptop replacement that also offers a decent tablet experience.
