From Apple’s iPad to Google’s Android Nexus 7, tablet computers let you browse
the web, check emails and download apps, all at the touch of a touchscreen. Matt
Warman rounds up the top 10.
Apple iPad Mini
From £269
Apple’s iPad was the
best tablet on the market from the moment it launched, thanks to more apps
than anyone else, a beautiful screen and an ease of use that was peerless.
Then the iPad Mini was launched. Despite Steve Jobs’ own reservations, it
turns out that in fact the 8” screen size strikes the perfect balance
between ease of use and portability. It feels more natural to integrate the
iPad Mini into daily life than any other device – whether it’s checking a
quick email, browsing the web or downloading an app, the Mini is an easier
gateway. With a 4G version available, too, it’s got excellent connectivity
wherever you are. The downside is that the full-size iPad’s screen is bigger
and, on balance, the Mini doesn’t offer the best value for money when
compared to other tablets. But it does offer the best user experience, at
least until Android develops more of the ‘coffee table’ apps that make the
iPad such a joy. The thin, lightweight design is unsurpassed.
