The 10 Best Tablets (PCMagazine)

Apple iPad Air 2
stars
The iPad Air 2 balances seamless ease of use, app abundance, and raw power in its ever-so-slender frame, continuing Apple's reign atop the tablet heap.


Apple iPad Air
stars
The iPad Air is Apple's attempt to make the tablet disappear. The result is an unusually slim, well-built platform for the best array of apps in the business.


Asus Transformer Book T100TA
stars
For a sub-$400 price, the Asus Transformer Book T100TA is a fully functional Windows 8.1 hybrid tablet, and the natural successor to the netbook ideal. And it avoids all the compatibility issues that plague tablets running mobile operating systems like iOS, Android, or Windows RT.


Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5
stars
The Galaxy Tab S 10.5 is the best large screen Android-powered media tablet available, but its not the best tablet you can buy.


Google Nexus 9
stars
The Nexus 9 is a well-built Android tablet with a powerful processor, and it'll always be the first to get the latest Google OS updates.


Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4
stars
With a trim build and a gorgeous screen, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 has supremely elegant hardware, making it worth the premium price.


Apple iPad Mini 2
stars
The iPad mini 2 has a super-sharp Retina display and packs all of the power of the iPad Air into a more portable package. It matches the newer iPad mini 3 on performance and overall experience, but costs $100 less.


Asus VivoTab Note 8
stars
Out of the latest group of Windows 8 slate contenders, the entry-level Asus VivoTab 8 distinguishes itself with a low price, and by including standard features that are options on competing tablets.


Nvidia Shield Tablet
stars
Nvidia's gaming-oriented Shield Tablet is one of the first mobile devices to use the Nvidia Tegra K1 processor, and in sheer power, it blows other tablets out of the water.


Amazon Fire HD 6
stars
The Amazon Fire HD 6 is a well-built, reliable small-screen tablet for under $100, but it really suffers from a lack of storage.
