Review: Apple's Top Tablets Take the Lead in Consumer Reports' June Testing
Premium Tablets Lead the Pack at Warentest's Tests of Excellence
Get ready to dive into the world of top-notch tablets, as Consumer Reports recently tested a whopping 21 contenders. Shockingly, not only does the number one performer hail from Apple, but so does the best value option!
Don't think you must opt for an iPad to clinch one of the finest new tablets on the market, but guess who takes the first three spots? Our beloved tech giant, Apple! The priciest champ with a hefty pricetag of over $900 still leaves budget iPads in the testers' good books and crowned as the best bang for your buck amongst the bunch.
If you're eyeing the Apple iPad Air (13-inch display and M3 chip), it rules the roost. Its overall score of 1.7 praises its performance, graphics, screen, and battery performance, albeit its endurance is only satisfactory.
What's hot on Amazon? The Apple iPad Yoga Tab Plus, closely on its heels with a total score of 1.8, boasts outstanding endurance and performs well in all areas. It may be a bit expensive, at an average cost of $795, but the manufacturer throws in a keyboard and stylus to sweeten the deal.
Four tablets share the third spot, boasting a quality rating of 1.9. The comparatively affordable $668 11-inch iPad Air is worth a mention. Despite its smaller battery, it delivers almost identical ratings to its larger sibling and is a breeze to handle.
The iPad Mini, the A17 chip, and the Lenovo Legion Tab Gen. 3 are no slouches, either, with good ratings across the board, albeit their endurance is merely satisfactory. The Lenovo Legion Tab Gen. 3 offers a striking bargain at an average of $554 - quite a steal. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra, on the other hand, pales in comparison, with a price tag of around $1069 and delivery only average battery life.
Feeling the pinch? Fear not! Consumer Reports offers the iPad (A16 chip) as a steal, averaging merely $390! Despite its lower tech specs, it boasts good ratings for display, handling, endurance, and versatility.
To help you navigate the world of tablets, Consumer Reports also recommends top-selling devices at the time. According to industry experts, apart from Apple iPads, models such as the Samsung Galaxy Tab series, OnePlus Pad 2, and budget-friendly choices like the Amazon Fire HD 8, offer strong competition.
