Expert tester comments
Samsung's Galaxy Tab S7 FE is a good choice for anyone after an Android tablet, and with the company's DeX software, and an appropriate USB-C to HDMI adapter, it can be used effectively as a desktop computer (running Android apps). It offers a very good 12.4in screen and has good speakers, and its build quality is strong. The keyboard cover is an extra purchase that is included in our review price.
