| Bottom line | The Kobo Arc is a fine
tablet that simply doesn't offer enough compelling reasons to seriously consider it. | 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
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 HP Slate 7 strips out way too much to make its low price, and what's left can't compare to the
Nexus 7's offerings. |
