I was impressed by the MediaPad M2's vibrant 10.1-inch display and loud Harmon Kardon quad speakers. Using the included pressure-sensitive stylus to draw or take notes on the tablet is very convenient. The handwriting recognition also works well for entering calculations and math problems. - Booredatwork.com |
