8 best tablets you can buy in 2017
The best tablets are all
about combi nation, with most offering a decent keyboard and desktop-style
experience to sound the death knell for laptops.From Apple's larger iPad Pro to
Android's Google Pixel and Samsung tablets, there's a lot of choice out there.
In terms of how you decide which are the best tablets, check out their per
formance, battery li fe, screen quality and more.
iPad mini 4
The best 7-inch tablet at
the moment is definitely the iPad mini 4. If you like the look of Apple's iPad
Air 2 and iPad Pro, but find them too big, then this diminutive iPad mini 4
gives you the best of Apple's tablet world in a form factor that's not only
beautiful, but highly portable. However, it lacks the Pro features of a
keyboard or Pencil support.
Sony Xperia Tablet 3 Compact
Tablets don't have to be
big and cumbersome, and the Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact is testament to just
that. This tablet's super-slim profile, waterproof chassis, bright display and
solid line up of specs means it'll comfortably slip in your bag and won't baulk
at the first sign of rain. It's a little older now, so be warned that it won't
be getting all the Android updates you might hope for.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S2
Until recently, this was
the best tablet that Samsung ever produced -it's reading and web
surfing-friendly, has a great Super AMOLED screen, and you can pick it up in
8-inch and 9.7-inch variants. The cost of the Tab S2 is expected to drop as a
result of there being a new model on the market (the Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 was
launched in February) but it's still a great tablet to have around.
iPad Pro 9.7
The best tablet you can buy
right now is the iPad Pro 9.7 -the smaller screen with powerful innards is the
best combination on the market. This iPad offers a lot of the power of the
larger iPad Pro, along with the Smart Keyboard and Pencil support, and brings
it in a more bag-and-palm friendly size. Its four speakers are brilliant too.
Free access to Apple's office suite is a huge help as well.
Asus ZenPad 3S 10
With an iPad-like design,
the Asus ZenPad is something of a direct rival to Apple's best tablets with an
alternative operating system. The screen is sharp and bright, and the power is
decent -if not a well-known chipset running things. The battery life and build
quality aren't quite up to Apple's standards, but it's a good option if you
want a larger screen for less.
Huawei MateBook
Huawei's first Windows 10
device is a well-designed 2-in-1. It's a promising device from the Chinese
company, managing to feel fresh despite arriving late to the party. It is
equipped with a 6th gen Intel Corem7 dualcore processor that clocks in at 3.1
GHz, you can easily organise, prioritise, and visualise all your work with
ease.
Google Pixel C
Google's Pixel C is one of
the best Android tablets. It has it all -a fantastic display, heaps of power
and a premium de sign. For those willing to splash the cash, the keyboard is a
great acces sory. It's not quite a laptop replacement, but for those in the
market for a truly premium Android tablet look no further.
iPad Pro
The iPad Pro won't be for
everyone due to the size and cost, but if it appeals you are unlikely to find a
better tablet for your needs. Whether its graphics, multitasking or providing a
pseudo-Mac experience when you're away from the office, the iPad Pro is capable
.of so much. For the professional user, this is the best tablet capable of
replacing a laptop.
