Microsoft Surface Duo 2 By The Benchmarks: Getting More Done FASTER!

This thing is NO JOKE.

There’s a bit of a gap in AndroidLand.

Android TABLETS are often positioned as inexpensive media consumption devices. If you want a powerful slate, the market points you to either a GalaxyTab, or some other option like a Windows/ChomeOS/iPad.
