| Bottom line | 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. | 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. |
