- Tablet Reviews

For all the hype, tablets are still pretty new devices and it's tough to know which one -- or if any one -- is right for you. Do you want to replace your laptop and need a robust set of features? Do you need a wireless connection for use away from a Wi-Fi signal? Are you just going to watch Netflix and maybe play Pudding Monsters HD in the bathroom? Our tablet reviews will help you better understand which tablets do what and clarify the one that will be worth your money. The rush by manufacturers to get into tablets has resulted in a lot of questionable product and bad deals, so let us do the dirty work of separating the gold from the brass.

For tablet buying tips check out how to pick a tablet and our picks for the best tablets.

How we test tablets

How we test tablets

At Digital Trends, we write our product reviews to provide you with insight into both a product’s technical performance, and its usability. To that end, we go beyond specs and measurements by placing emphasis on the user experience. Tablets aren’t quite as personal as phones, but they’re still a far more intimate and portable device than any desktop or laptop PC has ever been. Much like with phones, that means in our tablet reviews we must take a close look at all the small things that, taken together, make the difference between a tablet you can live with and a tablet you’ll love. Read More
