The production of tablets reduced in 2019 when Google backed off Android tablets and Apple failed to update its top-of-the-line iPad Pro, however, there is hope for tablets in 2020 with potential updates for both the iPad and Surface tablets.

More Information On Tablets:
A tablet computer, commonly shortened to tablet, is a mobile device, typically with a mobile operating system and touchscreen display processing circuitry, and a rechargeable battery in a single, thin and flat package.
Tablets, being computers, do what other personal computers do, but lack some input/output (I/O) abilities that others have.
Modern tablets largely resemble modern smartphones, the only difference being that tablets are relatively larger than smartphones, with screens 7 inches (18 cm) or larger, measured diagonally, and may not support access to a cellular network.
The touchscreen display is operated by gestures executed by finger or digital pen (stylus), instead of the mouse, trackpad, and keyboard of larger computers. Portable computers can be classified according to the presence and appearance of physical keyboards.
Two species of the tablet, the slate, and booklet do not have physical keyboards and usually accept text and other input by use of a virtual keyboard shown on their touchscreen displays.
To compensate for their lack of a physical keyboard, most tablets can connect to independent physical keyboards by Bluetooth or USB; 2-in-1 PCs have keyboards, distinct from tablets.
A key component among tablet computers is touch input on a touchscreen liquid-crystal display (LCD). This allows the user to navigate easily and type with a virtual keyboard on the screen or press other icons on the screen to open apps or files.
The first tablet to do this was the GRiDPad by GRiD Systems Corporation; the tablet featured both a stylus, a pen-like tool to aid with precision in a touchscreen device as well as an on-screen keyboard.
The system must respond to on-screen touches rather than clicks of a keyboard or mouse. This operation makes precise use of our eye-hand coordination.
