Picking the right tablet is no easy task. It brings the usefulness of a laptop in a form factor that is more portable and storage-friendly while packing nearly as much power. Tablets are not quite essential, and yet for the right user, a tablet can be a portable laptop, TV, smartphone – all rolled into one. Some even come with covers and docks that amplify their functionality into that of a near full-fledged laptop. If you’ve been looking for the right tablet to buy, here are some options available on Amazon that make a strong case thanks to their features and hardware.
The 10.1-inch screen on the Huawei MediaPad T5 is enclosed in a sleek body that weighs 460g and is less than 8mm thick, making it quite easy to carry around. The display offers a 1080p resolution which is good enough for watching your favourite TV shows or any video content. Audio is handled by the dual-speakers at the bottom that are powered by Huawei’s Histen technology. Your experience is powered by an octa-core processor and up to 3GB of RAM, which can give you great performance for your applications. While onboard storage can go up to 32GB, it can be expanded to 256GB with a microSD card, giving you enough space for your favourite movies and music.
Being a well-performing tablet is one thing, but being able to transform into a Smart Screen with Amazon Alexa is what takes the Lenovo Smart Tab M10 to the next level. When put into the compatible speaker dock, the 10.1” FHD display is capable of doing everything that you would expect from an Alexa-enabled smart display, which includes things like reading you the news, playing your music, and even controlling your smart home with your voice. Thanks to Dolby tuned speakers, the dock also has great audio quality. With dedicated profiles and inbuilt kids mode, the experience on the tablet can also be finetuned to individual family members.
If you want a tablet that takes a serious shot at replacing your laptop, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 is the right option for you. The S Pen integration aims at changing your experience with work and productivity intuitively. It magnetically attaches to the back of the Tab S6 at a specific indent, making it easier for you to carry it around. The BookCover keyboard brings the desktop experience with Samsung DeX just a single key-press away, along with its own dedicated trackpad. You can even attach an additional display via HDMI. With an on-screen optical fingerprint scanner, you no longer need to worry about remembering passwords on Tab S6.
For those invested in the Apple ecosystem or even those who want a satisfying overall experience, the iPad has always been a great choice for a tablet. The 10.2-inch model is no different, with a Retina display and support for its own dedicated keyboard as well as the Apple Pencil. With the iPad, you get access to Apple’s App Store which brings all kinds of great apps at your disposal. Powered by an A10 Fusion chip for high performance, the iPad also supports external controllers like the DualShock 4 or the Xbox Wireless controllers, effectively turning itself into a portable gaming console.
