Bottom line
The Apple iPad is the first affordable tablet computer worth owning, but it won't (yet) replace your laptop.
The latest iPad adds several tweaks and improvements to secure its position at the top of the tablet heap. It's better all around, but third-gen owners need not apply.
The Nexus 10's superior design and swift performance make it one of the best Android tablets to date.
If you want the full, polished Apple tablet experience in a smaller package, the iPad Mini is worth the premium price. Otherwise, good alternatives are available for less money.
With its excellent design, useful software features, and low starting price, the Nexus 7 is the cheapest way to experience the best that the Android OS has to offer.
