| Bottom line | 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. | 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. | 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. |
