Tablet Smack-down: Which One Is Best?

Gone are the days when the iPad tablet was the latest and greatest in mobile tech. Tablet PCs have come a long way since the first prototype was introduced, and now consumers are faced with dozens of choices. Between operating systems, camera capabilities, weight and numerous other specifications, choosing the right tablet is no easy task. We’ve broken down some of the features and benefits of the top-rated tablets on the market today to help you make an informed decision.

The New iPad



Apple is infamous for its tablet PCs, as the first player in the market. The iPad is still largely regarded as the standard in the industry, so much so that the term “iPad” has become synonymous with long lasting tablets. Here are the pros and cons of the latest-generation iPad according to reviews.

Pros:
  • Up to 10 hours of battery life
  • Apple iOS 5
  • Twice the revolution of the iPad2
  • Two built-in cameras (front- and rear-facing)
Cons:
  • Expensive
  • No noticeable difference in performance over prior generations
  • Noticeably thicker than iPad 2
  • Larger battery produces notable heat

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2


If you’re a lover of the Android platform, you may be steering more towards the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. It’s slightly larger than the iPad2 and has a lower screen resolution, but it also has up to 10 hours of battery life. According to reviews, here are the pros and cons of this Android-based tablet.

Pros:
  • Crisp, easy-to-read display
  • Simple to use
  • Lightweight
  • Responsive touch screen
Cons:
  • No standard USB port
  • Only 16 GB of hard drive space
  • Limited app functionality

Asus Transformer Pad



CNet calls the Asus Transformer Pad “the best premium Android tablet,” but Top 10 Reviews ranks it midway through the list, pointing out that WiFi is essential for internet connectivity. Regardless, like the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2, it operates on the Android 3.1 operating system. Here’s what reviewers have to say.

Pros:
  • Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich Operating System
  • Optional docking station with full QWERTY keyboard
  • Docking station extends battery life up to 15 hours, depending on conditions
  • 8 megapixel rear camera
  • Compatible with Microsoft Office, Excel and PowerPoint
Cons:
  • Front-facing camera has just 1.2 megapixels
  • Mixed opinions on display quality and resolution
  • Slow app response time

So Which is Right for You?

Which tablet is the right one for you? It depends on your personal preferences and what you’ll be using your tablet PC for primarily. Some models are well-equipped for photo and video sharing and streaming, while others offer more productivity compatibility, such as the ability to edit and update Microsoft Office documents and files.

If you’re looking for something lightweight and easy to transport that will allow you to browse the internet and participate in your social networks, you’ll need less advanced functionality than other users. Tablets are generally not well-known for word processing capabilities, but there are some tablet PCs that offer users the ability to edit this type of file.

Beyond applications, the best tablet for you will depend on your travel needs. If you’re a user who will be spending hours away from the office while you need to be connected, look for features like a long battery life and additional hard drive storage for larger project management tasks.
