Tablets come in a wide range of sizes and prices, from small budget models to high-end professional devices. Most tablets have a pressure-sensitive pen that allows for natural drawing and painting strokes, as well as the ability to adjust line width and opacity. Some tablets also have multitouch capability for gesture control and touch-based menu navigation.

It also comes with the optional Surface Pen that provides pressure sensitivity when drawing or painting on the screen. Microsoft’s Surface Dock accessory adds additional ports to the tablet, including USB 3 ports, full HDMI output port and an Ethernet port for networking capabilities.
