Tablets to keep an eye out for this year
These are all the tablets to look forward to later on this year.
Lenovo Tab 4
Price: $109 and $149 for the 8- and 10-inch models, respectively. The Plus versions run $199 and $249.
Availability: May 2017
The outlook: The Lenovo Tab 4 is the most traditional tablet on this list, as it doesn't have a keyboard accessory to go with it.
Instead, it's a pure media consumption device, ready for streaming Netflix, playing games or simply surfing the web.
Lenovo Tab 4 Plus
The Plus versions have better screens and faster processors, making them more expensive.
Lenovo Miix 320
Price: $200
Availability: April
The outlook: The Miix 320 is an affordable 10-inch Windows 10 tablet PC that includes a detachable keyboard and trackpad for more of a laptop experience.

It measures 17.5 mm (0.7 inches) thick and weighs 1.02 kg (2.2 pounds) with the keyboard, and Lenovo claims up to 10 hours of battery life.
Lenovo Miix 720
Price: $999

The outlook: The Lenovo Miix 720 is similar to the Microsoft Surface Pro 4, and that's probably the best compliment it can get.

It has a detachable keyboard cover with a touchpad and a fold-out kickstand that adjusts the viewing angle up to 150 degrees. Unlike the Surface, though, the keyboard is included with the Miix.

The outlook: The HP Elitebook x360 is a slim business-friendly notebook with a 360-degree hinge that allows it to be used as a tablet.

It's a tough hybrid, tested against MIL-spec standards for drops and spill resistance. The display, in either full HD or 4K versions, is covered with Corning Gorilla Glass.
Samsung Chromebook Pro
Price: $500
Availability: April
The outlook: While the Samsung Chromebook Pro is a solid notebook in the $500 range, it's technically a hybrid that can be used as a tablet.

Thanks to its 360-degree hinge, you can use it as a tablet when gaming or watching TV.
The design is only part of the Samsung Chromebook Pro's appeal. If you're a Chromebook skeptic, hold you reservations until you see this bad boy.
Apple iPad (2017)
Price: $329
Availability: Available now
The outlook: Apple's latest tablet isn't its best one ever, but it is a good deal for anyone on a budget who's interested in an iPad.
Microsoft Surface Pro 5?
Price: TBD
Availability: TBD
The outlook: Though nothing has been confirmed, a new Surface Pro tablet is rumored to be on the way.
Apple iPad (2017)
There is a variety of iPads available, and the latest model is slight update to the older iPad Air 2, but at a more affordable price
Microsoft Surface Pro 5?
Microsoft usually unveils new hardware in the spring. The Surface Pro 4 -- one of the best tablet-hybrids around -- came out in late 2015.
Because of the gap in time and the expectation of new products in the first half of the year, many suspect a new Surface Pro tablet should arrive soon.
