High-tech gadgets for high-ranking executives
THE DEMANDS of top executive posts can sometimes be too heavy to handle. But smart technological devices can help ease the workload. Here are some of them:
MICROSOFT SURFACE PRO 6
Microsoft’s very own creation, Surface Pro 6 is one of the best Windows 10 devices in the market today. This two-in-one tablet computer is lightweight and therefore easy to carry around. And it’s remarkably powerful as well, running on the latest 8th generation Intel Quad Core processor. Microsoft says it’s 67% faster than the fifth generation Surface Pro. Surface Pro 6’s 12.3-inch screen is also one of the sharpest around for a tablet and a laptop, with a resolution of 2736 x 1824, resulting in pixels per inch of 267.

It is a Dynamic AMOLED kind of display that has a stunning wide color range, an HDR10+ certification and Dynamic Tone Mapping.
