What other tablets are there besides ipad

Want high speed internet? Android isn't as good as iPadOS is on tablets, but if you want an Android alternative to an iPad this could be it. This instead has to settle for LCD like its predecessor, but it still has a great inch x screen with a Hz refresh rate, and it has the same overpowered Apple M1 chipset as its larger sibling, so nothing should slow this down.

If you're sure an Android tablet will do what you need it to, Samsung products are some of the very best on the market and you'd be hard pressed to go wrong with opting for the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite. This tablet comes with an A12 Bionic chipset that makes it quite a bit faster than the older model. It also has a 20W charger packaged in the box, which means it's much faster at charging than previous models.

Battery life is excellent, although its screen is one area where there has been a clear compromise so it isn't an all-rounder.

Indeed, almost all Windows 10 tablets are designed to slot into a keyboard dock. This tablet ticks pretty much every box, and is even better if you add a keyboard and stylus into the mix, although this increases its price somewhat.

It's fast with a great screen, good speakers and an attractive design. Well worth the cash. This high-end Windows tablet is what the future of slates might look like. It's on sale now and undeniably technically superb, but a limited array of apps might limit its appeal.

Amazon Fire tablets come in at a much lower price than most of their rivals. A great choice for those on a budget, this 8-inch tablet isn't a power house, but does more than enough for the average user.

This tablet supports the Surface Pen stylus, which works evenly on the screen, similar to the stylus on iPad Pro. For those who like to take lots of physical notes, the reMarkable 2 tablet is a one-of-a-kind slate that replicates the feel of pen and paper like no other.

The iPad's screen is still bright and colorful, and just what it needs at this price point. Also, Apple's sticking with its first-gen Pencil and Smart Keyboard Folio for its supported Apple-made accessories, which many may find easier to use than third-party Bluetooth options. The Pencil will come in handy for Scribble-based annotation, and the keyboard will help take advantage of the improved keyboard shortcut support.

Sound is still good, as is battery life, the only thing we don't like about the iPad is that the iPad mini and iPad Air are making it look even older than its design is.

On top of that, Apple's blazing-fast A14 Bionic chip helps future-proof this tablet with enough speed for demanding apps and multitasking. Oh, and they managed to put Touch ID in the lock button. Everywhere else, the iPad Air 4 is great, if not the best. Its It's also great for the work from home era, thanks to its 7-megapixel webcam, which beat the Logitech C in head-to-head testing done for our review. We only wish the Magic Keyboard wasn't so expensive: it's hard to feel great buying a keyboard for almost the same price as the entry-level iPad.

The Surface Go 2 has a Microsoft also answered my prayers for a laptop with a great webcam.

Oh, and it's got endurance to spare, lasting 13 hours and 13 minutes on the Tom's Guide battery test.

And while it's not as fast as the iPad and its screen isn't as bright, neither is a serious problem at this price.

On top of that, you've got the super-fast A15 Bionic system-on-chip, which outpaces the iPad Air and every non-Pro iPad out there. Its display is also super bright over nits of brightness , plus surprisingly good sound for a device this small. Oh, and speaking of outperforming its size, the iPad mini 6 has terrific battery life.
