Samsung Galaxy Book 10" tablet model: SM-W620NZKBXAC
Quick Description
More versatile than most tablets, it's capable of acting as a laptop replacement and is well-suited to productivity on the go. Another thing I like about it: it comes bundled with its keyboard cover and stylus.
It won't impress with raw performance, but it sounds like a great fit for the Road Warrior on a budget or the student.

Programs, Apps and Games it will handle
Activity ratings are good but sometimes, you want to be absolutely sure your next purchase will be able to run a specific piece of software.
A 1 star rating means the program'll be usable (according to the developer's own definition; some are more demanding than others); 3 stars mean recommended specs are met with this device; 5 stars will means you will have plenty of overhead to handle uncommon uses of that program like mods, plug-ins and more.
