A tablet is a larger, wider analogue of a smartphone. They stand between smartphones and laptops, their screen being of a medium size – 8 to 10 inches in diagonal. With a light weight and portable size, tablets are bought by people who want the mobility of a smartphone with a comparably large screen, like that of a small laptop.
Tablets use the same processors as smartphones, and most of their specs compare to each other. The only real difference between a tablet and smartphone is the screen diagonal – tablets are always bigger.
When choosing a tablet, look at the screen diagonal, processor power and amount of RAM. The processor and RAM are important if you intend on gaming with the tablet. Also the cameras are important – they are not given as much attention as smartphone cameras, though.
There are many brands and models of tablets on the market, and it can be difficult to choose. In this list we assembled the 5 best tablets for their price. All have good buyer reviews, an adequate price and do their job well.

This model is equipped with two cameras, and allows you to take high quality pictures. The tablet has a 11-inch screen. It has a very nice contrast and brightness that allows you to read in dark environments, and as it also comes with an Apple pencil, you have plenty of room to write down notes or draw. The large screen also means that the tablet is easier to use (easier to select options, swipe, etc.), especially for those who never owned or used a tablet before.
This model is very quick-performing, allowing you to run powerful apps and play the most recent video games without experiencing any freezing or stuttering. Altogether, this product can easily replace a laptop computer.
The tablet runs on high-quality lithium batteries, and will last up to ten hours when fully charged. This lets you use it in places without access to electricity for prolonged periods of time.
Pros:
- Great performance and quality for the price
- Simple to use
- Great alternative to a laptop
Cons:
