|  | | |  | | | The Manute Bol of tablets, the 12.2-inch Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 provides a larger display than nearly all other tablets on the market. But this octa-core-powered Android device is more than just a supersize slate, offering deep pen integration and a host of productivity-friendly features, such as a souped-up Multi Window mode that lets you run four apps at once. With a starting price of $749, the Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 is more expensive than most of its competitors, but if you're comfortable holding a tablet this large, it can help you get some serious work done.  | | | |  | | | HP is hoping to hit that sweet spot between productivity and multimedia with its latest product, the HP Spectre 13 X2 (starting at $1,099, $1,169 as configured). The 2-in-1 is outfitted with a powerful Intel Core i5 processor and Intel integrated graphics. Throw in a comfortable keyboard and a vibrant 1080p display and its hard-to-ignore hybrid.
