Tablet

Excellent10/10Premium

The iPad is the clear consensus pick at almost every price, with app support and longevity no Android tablet matches. The base iPad is an excellent value buy; Pro models are powerful but costly once accessories are added.

Good at

  • Largest library of tablet-optimised apps
  • Very long iPadOS update support
  • Fast chips across the range, even the base iPad
  • Strong accessory ecosystem (Pencil, keyboards)
  • High resale value

Weak at

  • Pencil and keyboard add a lot to the price
  • Storage upgrades are expensive
  • iPadOS still not a full laptop replacement for some
