LATEST INPUT, OUTPUT AND STORAGE DEVICES

Input Device

A graphics tablet (also known as a drawing tablet, drawing pad, or digital drawing tablet)
like the Apple iPad Pro is a computer input device that enables a user to hand-draw images,
animations and graphics. With a special pen-like stylus, it makes it similar to the way a person
draws images with a pencil. Apple iPad Pro (12.9-inch) 2020 Wi-Fi tablet was launched on
March 2020. This class-leading tablet performs better than ever because of its new A12Z Bionic
chip with an 8-core graphics engine. Apple Pencil sets the standard for how drawing, note-
taking, and marking up documents should feel — intuitive, precise, and magical.

Output Device

A projector like the LG CineBeam is an output device that projects an image onto a large
surface, such as a white screen or wall. The LG CineBeam HU80KSW is a latest projector that
offers a crisp 4K HDR picture, with the benefit of a truly all-in-one system that is a lot more
compact than an average smart TV. It may have more of a neutral pallet than some more vivid
projectors out there, but it has the all-round package and quality. It is blessed with the
excellent webOS platform, which means it has direct access to all the user’s video apps over Wi-
Fi. It also has Miracasting and Bluetooth that makes it easy to connect to whatever device to
play videos from. Everything from the speakers to the power plug is built into the projector
itself, making for a tidy and well-designed product that's wonderfully easy to move around the
room or house.

Storage Device

Samsung launched a new portable storage device in 2020. The Samsung T7 SSD has a
durable aluminum shell and a Type-C USB 3.2 Gen 2 port for connecting to Mac, Windows,
tablets, and phones. Transfer speeds are great at 1,050MBs read speed and 1,000MBs write
speed. This new external drive includes an integrated fingerprint sensor for added security. The
fingerprint sensor secures the files stored on drive and can recognize up to four prints for
shared usage at work or at home. A simple LED status light informs users of whether the drive is
locked or unlocked. There is also password protection and AES 256-bit hardware encryption as
well. The drive comes in silver and black with 500GB, 1TB, and 2TB as choices for capacity.
Pricing starts at $129 for the lowest capacity and goes up to $399 for the highest.
