The best tablets and how to choose the right model in 2024

Here you have a list of the best tablets of the moment and also a set of advice that you can follow in order to select the right model according to your needs.

The truth is that there are still several types of tasks that “require” the use of a tablet when the smartphone proves to be inappropriate for the purposes in question. And because it turns out to be impractical to always walk with the laptop behind, be it in moments of work or leisure.

In addition to the tablets have also gained in recent times some additional features that make the difference compared to other gadgets, such as the use of a digital pen to draw accurately and the recent bet on sound in this segment.

How to choose the best tablets?

Choosing a tablet depends on the type of use you want to give the device, whether for work or play- whether you want to watch videos on public transport, to serve as the second or third screen in the living room or to replace the laptop in a meeting of work.

The key secrets to the right choice? The quality of the screen, the battery life, and versatility, above all. Here’s the advice when choosing your next tablet:

  • Take advantage of promotions. As you can see from the list above, we made it a point not to list cheap tablets and less reliable brands. It is preferable to invest in a good tablet on sale.
  • Pay attention to the space for storage, especially if the multimedia contents are stored locally. There are tablets that do not include MicroSD card slot and this can be a limitation.
  • There are Wi-Fi only models and those that include support for 4G mobile connectivity, for example. If you need to keep one to the Internet connection constant, the latter option is “mandatory”.
  • Look for tablets with long battery life, thus avoiding the need to carry chargers, power banks and the like.
  • The fragility of a screen and the body of the tablet is imminent at the time of purchase, take the opportunity to protect your device and attach a cover to your purchase.
