Compared to other tablets we reviewed, the ASUS ZenPad S 8.0 battery life leaves much to be desired. With six hours and 47 minutes of runtime, it's one of the weakest batteries we've seen. Ideally – especially for a non-budget tablet — batteries should last for nine hours or more.

One area in which the ZenPad shines is its display. The 2048 x 1536 screen doesn't have the highest resolution you can get in a tablet, but nevertheless, it displays crisp and clear images. This is an IPS screen, which means it has good color reproduction and excellent viewing angles.

Overall, the ASUS ZenPad S 8.0 is a tablet that readily separates itself from the entry-level pack. While its modest battery life keeps it a noticeable step behind the best tablets, its strong build quality and high-resolution display are premium features offered at an accessible price point.

The ASUS ZenPad S 8.0 only comes in an 8-inch model. It is impressive that ASUS managed to pack everything into those 8 inches and keep the weight down.

At only .66 pounds, this is one of the lightest tablets in our review. Although the power button is oddly placed towards the middle of the tablet's right side, the tablet has a clean design and sturdy build quality. In particular, the back of the tablet has a small leather grip that makes it easy to hold in your hands.

At .66 pounds, this tablet is very light. The tablet has a short battery life.

Although its battery life is mediocre, the ASUS ZenPad S 8.0 benefits from a high-resolution display and great build quality. It's a good option if you don't want to pay a premium for your tablet.

During our testing, ASUS ZenPad S 8.0 onscreen text and images were displayed with stellar fidelity and sharpness. For a non-premium-priced tablet, it also has a steady performance ceiling.

In performance test Geekbench 3 and graphics test 3DMark Ice Storm Unlimited, the tablet had respective scores of 2,855 and 13,041 points. While its graphic performance is a step below the best tablets – which generally hit the 20,000 point range – its processor was still fast enough to handle tasks like web browsing and multitasking in our hands-on testing.

If you really don't care about the detachable keyboard, your money might be better spent on something like a cheaper Lenovo Yoga notebook, with a keyboard which folds back behind the screen but doesn't actually detach. The keyboard cover is impressive, but still might frustrate those who spend their days typing.

Lenovo Miix 720 keyboard it's actually one of the best slimline keyboards I've tested. Bought myself an 11-inch Lenovo Yoga 710 for travel – for less than $999 – I have to say I prefer its keyboard over the Miix's keyboard, even though the Lenovo Yoga keyboard is a tad small

Iphone 7 review How about a serious memory upgrade (i'm thinking TB) so it can store movies like it stores music, and let it rip movies like it does CDs. How about a serious security upgrade - I've had 2 iphones stolen and they never show up on "Find my iPhone" but there must be a market for them - smash that market. How about a screen that doesn't shatter - a very common issue.

How about affordable voice connectivity around the globe - last trip to Europe was free-wifi only because of the cost and hassle when crossing borders often. How about a clear solar panel layer or other energy extender (or a fuel cell phone case). And how about making the iPhone run the desktop OS with files so its a real laptop alternative - with wireless connection to 3rd party printers (and other accessories)

Amcrest ProHD 1080P WiFi Wireless IP Security Camera is a great affordable option that delivers crisp clear images without any distortions. For the price it is difficult to get a better deal.

Very few other cameras come with the capability to record full HD footage. The model comes in a black finish with pan and tilt functionality and a wide viewing angle of 90 degrees. One interesting feature about it is the fact that the camera uses a Sony image sensor and an advanced Ambarella processor that translates into excellent image quality.

Logitech's HD Pro Webcam C920 is the only model in our list that supports Full HD 1080p video captures. It has an advanced video sensor that can capture 30 frames per second at the highest resolution.

The model was designed to work for streamers a sit can record vibrant and crisp clear images. It is a bit more expensive than other models but the image quality is incomparable better than all the rest.

Text and images were displayed with excellent fidelity and virtually free of noticeable pixilation. Overall, the Google Pixel C display abilities deservedly place it in the same league as other premium tablets we reviewed.

The Pixel C also performed solidly during battery benchmarking tests from our colleagues at Laptop Mag. In their testing, a tablet loops through webpages at a constant brightness until it powers down.
