However, if you need high security, strong durability and true
lapability from a business tablet, the Dell Venue 10 Pro 5056 is a strong choice.
Built for business users, the Dell Venue 10 Pro 5056 is a midsized tablet with decent performance and
strong lapability, but its short battery life and a hefty chassis hold it back.
If you need lengthy battery life, reliable durability and
comfortable lapability from a business tablet, the Dell Latitude 11 5175 with its optional keyboard is a strong choice.
The Surface Pro 3 has much
better lapability than its predecessors since the kickstand can be put at any angle now, but it is still not as good as a laptop.
Luckily «
lapability» (as Microsoft calls it) is a key feature of the Surface 2, all due to a second angle for the kickstand.
Original Surface devices came with just one kickstand position, meaning the Surface Pro had poor «
lapability», and it wasn't very comfortable to use depending on your height.
Lapability is the tern they coined to describe how well a PC can be used on your lap.
It's a bona fide notebook with a display that detches to become a surprisingly thin and light tablet, providing a great surface for inking (no pun intended) while enjoying all
the lapability of a more traditional notebook.
The Surface Pro 4 has the kickstand for various positions and help with «
lapability».
«
Lapability» is a phrase only ever brought up when talking about Surface devices, and while the Surface 3 did a good job at being «lapable», due to its kickstand being limited to just three positions, it meant not everyone had a comfortable angle to work from on their lap.
Setting aside «
lapability» (and let us never use that word again), there are other signs that Microsoft means it when it says it wants to replace your laptop.
