Top Tablets 2023

The Apple iPad is more affordable than ever. If you're looking for a basic tablet with a wealth of apps, it's a solid deal.

While the Xiaomi Redmi Pad is a good tablet in the sub-300-USD category, the price is still slightly too high for us to recommend it unequivocally. Meanwhile, the in-house competitor Xiaomi Pad 5 comes with significantly better features, while not being substantially more expensive.

Panasonic's Toughbook G2 detachable survives drops and splashes, and its expansion modules are a boon for field and factory workers, as well as first responders.

We’re really impressed with the latest tablet from Samsung, bringing the brilliant screen from the Tab S4 into an even better design. The excellent speakers remain and the speakers are great, too. You’ll only be potentially put off by the lack of a headphone jack and the mid-range processor.

People really love the iPad mini, so Apple’s updated it with Pencil support and a fast new processor. It’s great.

The latest version of Android is out on Pixel phones and it features a new gesture system and lots of AI enhancements.

The Galaxy Tab S 10.5 is the best Android-powered media tablet available, but its competition is stiff.

We do feel there should be a touch more "awesome" at this price, but once you've gazed adoringly into the Retina Display, you'll struggle to not hate any tablet that isn't this good.

The Microsoft Surface Go is an attractive computer with a great display. This sets the standard for affordable 2-in-1s, but it should have come with a keyboard.

The Tab P11 Plus is a good choice if you want an Android tablet that costs $300. From the screen to the battery life, and especially the mid-range CPU, this tablet is a big step up from the $100–$200 tablets that most people buy. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra $50 to get the 6GB version, which makes a big difference in how well it works.
