| Bottom line | With a host of improvements--faster graphics, 4G wireless
options, a better camera, and a gorgeous high-res screen--the latest
iPad cements its position at the head of the tablet pack. | 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. | The
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is a stunning tablet with a truly useful stylus, but it's not worth $400 unless you're an artist or prefer pen input. |
