| Bottom line | If you're an early adopter willing to forget everything you know about navigating a computer, the Surface
tablet could replace your laptop. Everyone else: wait for more apps. | The
Nexus 10's superior design and swift performance make it one of the best Android tablets to date. | 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. | 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. |
