| 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
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. | If you're looking for a pure media consumption experience, the
Kindle Fire HD 8.9 delivers better than any tablet before it. People looking for something more utilitarian, however, will want to look elsewhere. |
