What Will Be Your Next Tablet? 53 Tablets Compared


Tablets are a hot property right now, but which tablet should you buy? We’ve assembled the specifications for 53 different tablets so you can compare, including new Android devices and upcoming Windows 8 tablets from Microsoft, Asus, Acer, Samsung and others.

Update: The updated version of this table now contains all the awesome gadget gear we saw at IFA and beyond, including: the Archos Gen10 XS, Asus Transformer Infinity, Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, Kindle Fire HD, Toshiba AT330, Sony Vaio Duo 11, HP Envy X2, Dell XPS Duo 12, Dell XPS 10, Sony Xperia Tablet S, Samsung Activ, and the Lenovo Ideatab S2110. Phew!

Like the Super Phones list, this is intended as a living document that we’ll update as new tablets come to market. We’ve not mentioned the many Windows 7 slates available as that’s targeting a different market segment, and Windows 8 tablets are well on the way. As always, if you’ve spotted any errors or reckon we’ve missed an obvious candidate, let us know in the comments below.
