Faced with a somewhat saturated tablet market, LG they are moving very cautiously to design the strategy of each product. The truth is that the Korean company does not close the door to any platform or concept, having launched in the past pure tablets with Android and hybrids with Windows. In fact, he came to mix both systems in a team presented in July of this year, although with little luck.
There is no doubt that users are increasingly demanding more things from a tablet. It is no longer enough that the device allows us to manage social networks, watch movies and play Candy Crush, since with such uses the functionality of a PC will never be displaced. In that sense, Microsoft, a company that arrived late to the sector but to which Satya Nadella is providing an extra intelligence that seemed to lack in the Ballmer era, is taking giant steps towards the convergence of systems and the integration of functions, and proof of this the thing is the commercial deployment employed with Surface Pro 3 it is bearing good fruit.
LG does not reap the expected success with its tablets
An internal source of LG has recognized in the middle Cnet that the Korean company is far from achieving the successes it is reaping with its smartphones in the field of tablets. The truth is that we have seen great products leave their factory, without going any further, the LG G Pad 8.3 it is one of our favorite tablets even today, a year after its launch.
In the Windows field, the brand has so far had two devices in the catalog. Both of the same line, tab-book, although we must recognize that the marketing of the product has been deficient. At least in Spain we have not heard much about it.
The Surface Pro model, a new opportunity?
Cnet notes that LG is now dedicating efforts to making tablets oriented to the productive field, with qualities similar to the Surface Pro 3, with its own keyboard, SSD memory and Intel processor; able to function as laptop or tablet indistinctly.
Apart from what has been said, no more details are known about the equipment, it will be necessary to see what the value for money is and, above all, if it manages to offer something that today is Surface Pro 3 (absolute reference in its kind). don't offer.
We will keep you posted.
