This is an awesome presentation of the top 10 tablets in the world! Watch it to learn about them! This is made by Technology Network, a service provided by NINJATECH in the UIKA!
2. 10. AMAZON KINDLE FIRE HDX 8.9-
INCH
The bigger edition of the latest Amazon tablet
lineup is the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 and it's a decent
enough device.
In fact it's more than decent - it's downright
perfect for movies, books and music and we can't
stress enough the light weight of the device, which
really helps in portability and sustained
holding/viewing.
It's slim and lightweight at just 13.2 ounces, and
the display is an 8.9-inch, 2560 x 1600 resolution
screen. That gives you 339 ppi in what Amazon
says is 100% sRGB color accurate.
3. 9. AMAZON KINDLE FIRE HDX 7"
With the Kindle Fire HDX, you have an
excellently built Android tablet - from a
hardware perspective, at least. But while it's
lightning fast and a great way to enjoy
books, magazines, comics, music and
movies, it comes up short in the places
where the best tablets truly impress: third-
party apps and a whiz bang customizable
interface.
The battery life is absolutely on par with the
competition. Those who push will still see
more than a day of use off a single charge,
and those who are light on it will plug it in
only once or twice a week.
4. 8. Apple iPad Mini
Apple's former CEO Steve Jobs famously
slammed small tablets a few years back,
leading many to believe the Cupertino-based
firm would never dabble in the budget end of
the market, but here we are.
The slight downsides to the iPad mini are
that it misses out on a Retina display and it
pushes the upper end of the budget price
bracket, but you can justify that price with its
slick operation and premium build quality,
letting you know you have a top piece of kit
in your hand.
Update: It has been surpassed by the iPad
Mini 2, just sayin'.
5. 7. MICROSOFT SURFACE PRO 2
*Ding, ding* Round 2. Microsoft's second
generation Windows 8 slate is here, building on its
predecessor and providing a well rounded tablet-
come-laptop experience.
In terms of portability the Surface Pro 2 won't be
winning any awards - it's big and it's heavy, but if
you're looking for a powerful business tablet then
the Pro 2 is one of the best (if not the best)
around.
Microsoft has improved the Pro 2 in a numbers of
ways from the original Surface Pro, with an
updated Windows 8.1 OS, beefy Intel processor,
improved battery life and two position kick-stand.
6. 6. GOOGLE NEXUS 10
The 10.1 display is one of the biggest talking
points on the Google Nexus 10. At 300 pixels per
inch it's the highest resolution tablet display on
the planet - take that Apple and your Retina
screens.
It's a great performer too. Other than taking a
while to process panoramic photos, we never felt
like it was struggling to keep up. It's fast and
smooth no matter what you throw at it.
Sure it may not be as stunning to look at, or as
well built as an iPad, and the lack of expandable
memory will irk some, but overall the Nexus 10
gives you a quality, big-screen Android
experience not to be sniffed at.
7. 5. LG G PAD 8.3
What's this? LG in our top five for tablets? Could
the brand be on a rebound?
Well, when you make an Android tablet with a
design language like this one, perhaps it's time
to quietly worry at Samsung. In place of plastic,
it's got a lovely aluminium shell, and connectivity
with other Android phones makes it a viable
option for a wider range of users.
Some might question whether the Snapdragon
600 chip is too low-power for a tablet that costs
nearly $350, but it allows for a sleeker design
according to the Korean brand.
8. 4. SONY XPERIA TABLET Z
Sleek, powerful, iconic - these are all words used to describe
the impressive tablet from Sony.
The brand has been plugging away in the mobile space for a
few years, but now the combination of the Sony Xperia Z and
Tablet Z show that the Japanese brand is bringing us devices
that the public can finally really lust after.
And that's one of the things we liked about the Tablet Z: it's
light, really light, yet looks premium too. Sony has surpassed
expectations with this and delivered a tablet that wouldn't look
out of place in a business class lounge or at the center of a
home entertainment network.
It's waterproof too - sure, you might not use that feature a
whole lot, but it gives it an air of ruggedness that puts your
mind at ease when manhandling something that costs so
much.
9. 3. GOOGLE NEXUS 7 (2013)
Whether you call it the Nexus 7 2 or just the Nexus 7, it
hurdles right over the iPad mini in both parts and price.
For just a little more money, it offers greater
functionality than a Kindle Fire HD. It so surpasses the
original Nexus 7 that Google has swept last year's
tablet under the rug.
Internally, the new Nexus 7 packs a 1.5Ghz quad core
processor, 2GB of RAM and comes with either 16GB or
32GB of storage. Those models go for $229 and $269,
and there's also an LTE version selling for $300.
Storage space is a bit tricky though - the Android 4.3
OS found on the Nexus 7 takes up a whopping 6GB.
Our 32GB tablet came out of the box with 26GB
available. Those planning to go for the 16GB model
need to brace for having only 10GB to play with.
10. 2. IPAD MINI 2 WITH RETINA DISPLAY
Look at that - Apple's taken the top two spots in
our tablet round up. You'll either love or hate that
decision, but we can't deny that Apple has the
best tabs on the market right now.
The iPad Air is just ahead of the Mini 2, thanks to
being more competitive on price and having a
larger screen for all those iPad-friendly apps.
But this is far from a poor device. It's got reams
of style from the aluminum back, a super fast A7
chip and that screen ... well, it's what we should
have had last year, but it still looks the business
12 months on.
11. 1. IPAD AIR
We have a new player at number one! If you've already read our
iPad Air review this will come as no surprise, as Apple's latest slate
is the first tablet ever to gain a five star rating on Technology
Network.
People scoffed when Apple launched the first iPad, but the sector
has grown exponentially since the first generation device landed,
and with the Air, the Cupertino firm has finally nailed the formula.
Impressive design coupled with a thinner, lighter chassis makes for
a premium and quite frankly, beautiful tablet, and Apple's powerful
A7 and M7 chips under the hood means it chews through even the
toughest tasks in next to no time.
Of course the price tag is still high, but it's comparable to the likes of
the Sony Xperia Tablet Z, finally making it a contender on an even
playing field ... and with that in mind, there's no competition.
