Samsung's second stab at the Galaxy Tab

Samsung's Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 is the smaller version of the Galaxy Tab 2 series, which also includes the Tab 2 10.1. You can pick one up April 22 for $249.99.

Deliberate step-down

The main thing you need to know about the Tab 2 7.0 is that it's deliberately more, shall we say, humble, than the 7.0 Tab Plus. For instance, there's a 1GHz processor rather than a 1.2GHz processor.

Cheaper price tag

There's a reason for the stepped-down specs, and one of the reasons is the $250 price tag, which competes with the $200 Kindle Fire.

MicroSD goodness

Different than its predecessor Tab, there's now a microSD card slot that takes up to 32GB of memory.

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
