Tablets put everything you need right at your fingertips, from the Web and Facebook to games and email. And while these devices started as mere PC companions, they’re becoming powerful enough for all your computing needs. The trick is getting the right slate for you.
While iPads offer the best app selection, there are plenty of compelling Android alternatives, including very affordable 7-inch tablets. Windows 8 slates and hybrids target more productivity minded shoppers. At LAPTOP we test and rate all the major tablets based on design, features, performance, battery life and value. The very best devices make our top 10 list.
1. Apple iPad Air
The new iPad Air is the lightest and most compact big-screen tablet you can buy, cramming a gorgeous 9.7-inch Retina Display into a 1-pound design. You can easily use the Air with one hand when reading or surfing the Web. When it's time to game or create content, you'll appreciate the blazing 64-bit A7 chip on the inside. When you add in the Air's nearly 12 hours of battery life and access to 475,000 apps, it's easy to see why it's the top tablet.
2. Apple iPad mini with Retina Display
The iPad mini with Retina Display is the best small tablet on the market, cramming a 2048 x 1536-pixel screen into a 7.9-inch design. The new mini also boasts a fast A7 processor and access to more than 475,000 apps. The more than 11 hours of battery life makes this slate well worth its US$399 starting price.
3. Amazon Kindle Fire HDX
With a high-resolution 1920 x 1200 display and very fast quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, Amazon's 7-inch Kindle Fire HDX packs a serious punch for a relatively low US$229. It's not just the HDX' hardware that's impressive. Amazon has introduced new software features like the MayDay button, which gives users access to 24/7 live tech support. Quick Switch lets you quickly move between open apps.
4. Google Nexus 7 (2013)
Google's original Nexus 7 was a certified smash hit, and the successor is an even better value. Sporting a 1900 x 1200 display, front and rear cameras, stereo speakers and a powerful processor, the new Nexus 7 is a worthy follow up to the original. With long battery life and a pure build of Google's operating system, the Nexus 7 is the best Android tablet you can buy.
5. ASUS Transformer Book T100
It's a tablet and laptop in one that lasts more than 12 hours on a charge. That's the beauty of Intel's new Bay Trail chip, which powers this affordable and versatile Windows 8.1 hybrid device from ASUS. Starting at just US$349 for 16GB and US$399 for 32GB, the Transformer Book T100 comes with a keyboard dock and a pre-loaded copy of Office Home and Student Edition to maximize your productivity.
6. Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition)
Samsung's Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) offers a host of enhancements over the previous generation, including a 2560 x 1600-pixel screen that's sharper than the iPad's Retina Display. An octa-core processor and 3GB of RAM give the Note 10.1 some serious multitasking capabilities, with users now able to open two windows in the same app at once. There's also greatly improved S Pen functionality via Samsung's new Air Command feature.
7. Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0
Samsung's Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 packs an 8-inch 1280 x 800 display, giving it a higher resolution screen than the iPad mini. With its 1.5-GHz dual-core Samsung Exynos 4 processor and 1.5GB of RAM, the Tab 3 8.0 offers solid performance, while its 4,450 mAh battery means you'll get well over 8 hours of use out of this slate. Then there's the built-in IR blaster and Peel Smart Remote and Samsung WatchOn apps, that let you control your TV, download movies and search for TV shows.
8. ASUS MeMO Pad HD 7
The 7-inch ASUS MeMO Pad HD 7 features a gorgeous 1280 x 720p display, quad-core power, great audio and front- and rear-facing cameras - all for just US$149. What's more, the MeMO Pad HD 7 offers an astounding 9 hours and 40 minutes of battery life, which easily outpaces competitors like the Hisense Sero 7 Pro and Google Nexus 7.
9. Hisense Sero 7 Pro
This Android 4.2 Jelly Bean tablet boasts great performance, a bright screen and a fantastic US$149 price tag. The 7.9-ounce Hisense Sero 7 Pro features a rear-facing 5-MP camera with a flash and a front-facing 2-MP camera, plus it comes with a microSD card slot for expandable storage up to 32GB.
10. Sony Xperia Tablet Z
Looking for a tablet you can take to the pool? Sony's Android-powered Xperia Tablet Z slate is not only impressively thin and light, but also able to survive being submerged in water for up to 30 minutes. At a mere 1.1 pounds, the Tablet Z makes Apple's iPad look fat by comparison. Of course, there's more to the Xperia Tablet Z than just good looks and durability. It also offers a beautiful display, all-day battery life, a built-in IR blaster and a powerful processor, easily making it one of our favourite tablets.
