5 best tablets to buy that you can rock at home or the office

The tablet market made its comeback during the COVID pandemic, and allowed the segment a second chance at proving why users may want a second device with a larger screen, be it for entertainment purposes or work.

Skip forward to 2023 and tablets are a much bigger deal. From the affordable ones aimed at students to more premium offerings for creators on the move, tablets are more versatile and powerful than ever before.

If you too are on the lookout for a new tablet that can help make life easy at the office (or wherever you work from), here are some of the best tablets to look out for.

Apple iPad Pro M2

The Apple iPads are considered to be the best tablets out there by many. The iPad Pro series, in particular, is the flagship tablet Apple has to offer. Powered by the same chipset that also powers the latest MacBooks, the new iPad Pro 6th Gen models are powerful enough for content creation while still being great for other use-cases like gaming and entertainment.

Throw in a range of accessories like the Magic Keyboard and the Apple Pencil and you’re set for a compromise-free laptop-grade experience, made even better if you also have other Apple products.

Microsoft Surface Pro 9

Some users prefer the comfort and flexibility of Windows on their tablets, and for these users, no tablets come close to Microsoft’s own Surface series ones. The Microsoft Surface Pro 9, the most powerful tablet in the series, is great for all kinds of work-related tasks, from spreadsheets to resource-heavy programs. Plus, you get the perks of Windows, bringing the same experience of the laptops and desktops we’re all used to.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE

The new Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE was launched recently and offers a good mix of performance and affordability for price-conscious tablet buyers. With perks like 4K recording, a microSD card slot, stereo speakers, and an IP68 dust and water resistance rating, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE is great for field work and works well if you already have a Samsung Galaxy smartphone.

Apple iPad 10th Gen

While not the best iPad out there, the Apple iPad 10th Gen offers a good price-to-performance ratio for those looking for a decently powered iPad without spending too much. While it lacks the MacBook-grade performance of the M2 iPad Pros, you do get an A14 Bionic chip, which is no slouch either. Other additions like stereo speakers, TouchID and DisplayPort support make the iPad a great device for light work, casual gaming, entertainment and general web browsing.

OnePlus Pad

The OnePlus Pad is the brand’s first tablet ever, and quite a feature-packed one. Ideal for those looking for the best value-for-money tablet that packs some good performance, the OnePlus Pad comes with powerful internals and additions like 144Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision and HDR10+ certifications, four stereo speakers and Wi-Fi 6 support. It is also one of the fastest charging tablets with support for 67W charging.
