Tablet Reviews

The iPad Air is the perfect middle-ground tablet. It's vastly nicer and more capable than the base iPad, but more reasonably priced than the iPad Pro.

The Apple Pencil is now on its second generation, and offers a number of great features for everyone with updates in iPadOS 14. Here's why you should buy one.

When people go online or walk into a store and say 'I would like to buy an iPad today,' this is what they get. And they will be extremely happy with it.

Samsung’s massive Galaxy Tab S7 Plus tablet is fantastic for video, but can it match the 11.9-inch Apple iPad Pro for versatility, and be great for work, too?

The Amazon Fire HD 8 integrates with Amazon services and has Alexa built-in -- but with only mediocre performance and an under-par display, it's a tough sell.

The iPad is now a laptop -- sorta, kinda, with the right keyboard case. Logitech's Combo Touch might be a third-party accessory, but it beats Apple's options.

The Huawei MatePad Pro is sensibly sized, with a great screen and some convenient features like wireless charging, but it can't compete with the iPad on apps.

The Magic Keyboard for the iPad Pro takes Apple's already superb tablet to the next level by adding a brilliant typing experience and capable trackpad to it.

The 2020, 4th generation Apple iPad Pro is the best version of the best tablet, and in this review, we explain exactly why this powerhouse is worth buying.

The Lenovo Yoga Smart Tab is an Android tablet that stands out in a crowd. It packs useful features into a 10.1-inch device, including a versatile kickstand.

Samsung’s latest tablet is here, and it’s the Galaxy Tab S6. It’s the successor to the Galaxy Tab S4, with worthwhile upgrades like a superior chipset, an S Pen that’s stored magnetically, and a far better keyboard with a built-in trackpad. Is it worth spending $650 on an Android tablet?

Apple's latest update to its tablet lineup is the iPad, its entry-level slate that costs $330. What's new here over last year's iPad? There's a slightly larger 10.2-inch screen and support for the Smart Connector. But those changes aren't what makes this iPad a winner.

It's tough to find a great tablet with a big screen for under $200. But Amazon has managed to put together a compelling package in the Fire HD 10. A sharp screen, long battery life, and fast USB-C charging offer hardware few tablets can in this price range. Prime members especially get a ton of value with included content.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e excels at what it was designed for — movies, games, browsing, and reading. The amazingly thin and light body is only a part of the appeal, as the stunning 10.5-inch AMOLED screen makes watching it a joy. This is what it’s like to live with.

If you're buying a tablet for a child then Amazon's devices should be on your radar. The Amazon Fire HD 10 Kids may be the one to buy for your little cherub. At $200, it offers two years of free replacement for damage, tons of free kid-centered content, and industry-leading parental controls.

As the bargain basement model in Amazon’s Fire tablet range, the Fire 7 (2019) and the Fire 7 Kids Edition are amazingly cheap at just $50, but how has Amazon achieved such a low price? I took them for an extended test spin to learn what it can do and uncover the compromises lurking within.

The Lenovo Yoga Smart Tab draws inspiration from the company’s previous Android slates, with its unique circular hinge. Harnessing the power of Google Assistant and dual JBL hi-fi speakers, it consolidates what we saw with the previous Alexa-enabled offering into one singular device.

Why have a fixed smart display when you could have a tablet with a speaker dock? Lenovo answers that question with the Lenovo Smart Tab P10 which is an Android tablet that turns into an Echo Show when docked. It’s affordable and attractive, but some troublesome issues lurk below the surface.

Apple now has four types of iPads -- the budget iPad, the iPad Mini, the iPad Air, and the iPad Pro. The iPad Air is almost the same as the new iPad Mini, save for screen size. Professionals reluctant about the price of the highest-tier iPad Pro should consider the iPad Air.

Apple’s new iPad Mini has beastly performance, fluid iOS 12 software, and good battery life. It also looks like it came straight out of 2015, because the design hasn’t been changed. The market for small tablets has shrunk, so this is the best you can get if you’re eyeing a small tablet.

Got an Amazon Echo Show? Ever want to just take the screen and use it as a tablet in the bedroom? Lenovo’s new Smart Tab lets you do this. It’s an Android tablet you can attach to a Smart Dock to create an Echo Show competitor, complete with Alexa integration. The Echo Show mode can also be triggered without the dock.
