Samsung has shifted its approach toward the tablet market in 2014, releasing a slew of new tablets geared specifically to those who want a device for getting work done.

Leading the way is the company’s Galaxy Note Pro 12.2, a large device complete with a stylus and a high-resolution screen designed with professionals in mind.

Going along with the productivity theme, Samsung has loaded the tablet’s software with the ability to run up to four apps on the screen at the same time. Though this doesn’t work with all apps, users could potentially run a browser, their email, their calendar and a navigation app simultaneously.

When it comes to the interface, the South Korean company has introduced a new magazine-style look that features numerous widgets that actively update to show users the latest information.
