| 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. | 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. | The
Nexus 10's superior design and swift performance make it one of the best Android tablets to date. | The
iPad 2 refines an already excellent product. Its easy-to-use interface, vast app catalog, and marathon battery life bolster Apple's claim to being the king of tablets.
