Top Tablets 2023

The markedly improved Microsoft Surface Go 2 offers better computing performance, a larger display, and longer battery life than the original, making it a solid work-from-home (and idle-time) companion among Windows tablets.

Apple's latest iPhone and iPad OS offers a new Maps experience and small, iterative improvements elsewhere in the OS.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 aims to be the best Android productivity tablet on the market, but it only strengthens the case for Apple's less expensive iPad Air.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 is the best Android tablet on the market for power users but lacks the same polish you'll find on the iPad Pro or ChomeOS 2-in-1 devices

Samsung's Galaxy Tab A7 Lite is a decent Android tablet that's surprisingly small and affordable.

Android 11 marks another useful yet insignificant upgrade for Google’s mobile OS. While the redesigned media, screenshot and permissions controls are convenient, the additions to messaging and notifications aren't where they need to be to make a difference yet.

The Surface 3 offers a welcome price break from the pricey Microsoft Surface Pro 3, and it's well built, offers a full version of Windows, and boasts impressive battery life. But in a crowded field, a solid tablet that relies heavily on expensive accessories falls short of top marks.

The Google Pixel Tablet bridges the gap between tablet and smart display surprisingly well, but it costs more than the entry-level iPad.

Budget tablets don’t come any better built than the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8. Throw in a strong set of speakers and decent battery life, and you’re halfway to a top-quality affordable media player. A poor screen and slow charging hold it back from top marks, but it’s a good value option nonetheless.

Samsung's 12.4-inch Galaxy Tab S7 FE tablet is a more affordable, less powerful alternative to the Galaxy Tab S7+ and Apple's iPad Pro line for getting work done on the go.
