Toshiba Encore 2 review
We review Toshiba’s Encore 2, a budget priced Windows 8 tablet with a nice LCD screen. Can its low price and reasonably good looks make up for its 1GB of RAM and a “Bingified” OS?
Dell Venue 7 3000 Series review
We review Dell’s Venue 7 tablet. Can stock Android 4.4, plus a decent camera and audio compensate for the device’s single gig of RAM?
Apple iPad Air 2 review
We review Apple’s latest iPad, the Air 2. Find out how it stacks up against the iPad Air -- and whether it can take on Android’s best.
Apple iPad Mini 3 review
The iPad Mini 3 comes with an upgrade that’s as modest as can be. It’s new features include Touch ID and a gold color option.
Google Nexus 9 review
The Nexus 9 is undeniably a powerful, beautiful tablet and to top it all off, it’s running pure Android as Google intended. But will the allure of Lollipop, a killer screen, and long-lasting battery be enough to catapult the Nexus 9 into the big leagues?
Amazon Fire HD 6 review
Amazon’s Fire HD 6 is a bargain at $100. It looks like the kind of tablet you’d give a kid for Christmas, but it works great for anyone looking for a fun little device.
Nvidia Shield Tablet Review
The Nvidia Shield Tablet boasts high-end specs and special gaming capabilities. It’s a powerful Android tablet with a few extras.
HP ElitePad 1000 review
We review HP’s versatile, aluminum-clad business tablet. Can a slew of accessories help this Atom-powered device stand out in a world of more powerful do-it-all devices?
Dell Venue 8 7000 review
Android tablet fans haven’t had many high-end options. That changes with the Dell Venue 8 7000 series -- the best Android tablet we’ve ever seen.
Dell Venue 10 7000 Series review
Is it a tablet or a notebook? Meet the Venue 10 7000, Dell's follow up to the critically acclaimed Venue 8 7000. It's actually both, and it just might be the best Android tablet for productivity.
Lenovo Tab 2 A8 review

Does the 9.7-inch iPad Pro hold its own as a tablet, and can it challenge laptops? Read our full review to find out.
Samsung TabPro S review
Samsung new Windows 10-powered Galaxy TabPro S is more tablet than 2-in-1, with NFC and a Super AMOLED display, but its mobile-first approach results in a long list of headaches.
BQ Aquaris M10 Ubuntu Edition Black review
Ubuntu makes BQ’s Aquaris M10 feel like the Surface RT of Linux tablets, and that’s not a compliment. With lackluster software support and shoddy performance, there are few redeeming factors to justify its purchase.
Chuwi Hi12 Windows 10 2-in-1 review
Windows 2-in-1s are expensive. Not the Chuwi Hi12. The tablet portion is just $250, and the keyboard dock adds only $50 more. That’s an incredible price, but can a device this inexpensive deliver an acceptable Windows experience?
Huawei Matebook review
A mashup of the iPad Pro and the Surface Pro 4, Huawei's Matebook is a beautiful Windows 10 tablet. Can it compete in an increasingly crowded market?
Lenovo Yoga Book review
Lenovo’s Yoga Book is a bold new idea: a super slim tablet with a digital keyboard and a neat stylus. Is it worth your money, or is this a good idea gone bad?
Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 review
Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S3 is a promising Android tablet that comes with the famed S Pen. It has a high price, but it also has the best screen we’ve seen on an Android to date.
Xiaomi Mi Pad 3 review
Most will know Xiaomi for its smartphones, but it also makes Android tablets, and we’ve been testing out its latest -- the Mi Pad 3. It faces some stiff competition, including the new lower priced iPad, and we’ve found out how it compares.
Amazon Fire HD 8 (2017) review
Looking for a cheap tablet? Amazon’s Fire HD 8 isn’t as snazzy as an iPad, but it offers a polished experience and an HD screen for under $100.
Apple iPad Pro 10.5-inch review
Our Apple iPad Pro 10.5-inch review reveals a simple truth: This is the best tablet you can buy, excelling in nearly every category.
Amazon Fire HD 10 (2017) review
Amazon’s new Fire HD 10 introduces hands-free Alexa support, and it improves in some key areas, but it isn’t without compromise.
Apple iPad (2018) review
Whether you need a large-screen device for work or play, your best option is Apple’s new iPad. It has a good-looking screen, great battery life, fluid software with multi-tasking features, and it works with the fantastically-precise Apple Pencil. For $330, it’s a steal.
Huawei MediaPad M5 Pro review
Huawei’s newest big-screen tablet is a terrible temptation. Its screen is so gorgeous, and the clever design completely lends itself to a device to binge-watch your favorite show. However, when you’ve finished, what else can it do? Does a high-end tablet still have a place in the world now our phones are so capable? We find out.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 review
Before you purchase Samsung’s newest tablet, the Galaxy Tab S4, you’ll need to figure out exactly what you’re looking for. The Tab S4 delivers a decent tablet and desktop experience, but it doesn’t excel in either. There are plenty of other options on the market, which makes its high price a tough proposition. Here’s our Galaxy Tab S4 review.
Amazon Fire HD 8 review (2018)
For years, Amazon's Fire tablet lineup has been the go-to for great budget tablets. The company's latest offering -- the Fire HD 8 -- maintains its low price tag, but features only modest upgrades over its predecessor. We check out the 2018 Fire HD 8 to see if it's still a great budget tablet you should buy.
Google Pixel Slate review
The Pixel Slate is Google’s answer to the iPad Pro and Surface Pro 6. With Chrome OS and Android at its disposal, the Pixel Slate is a device that has the potential to be the most convincing 2-in-1 device ever made. But with all that ambition, there’s bound to be some problems and hiccups along the way.
Microsoft Surface Go review
Microsoft has launched the $400 Surface Go to take on both the iPad and the Chromebook in a single device. It’s a bold attempt to appeal to everyone’s needs in a compact, budget-friendly form factor, but can a device this small work as a PC?
Huawei MediaPad M5 Lite hands-on review
Huawei is bringing a tablet to the U.S., and it costs a little less than the $330 iPad. It's not as powerful, but there's a neat fingerprint sensor that can boot a secure environment specifically for children. It arrives in late January, and will be on sale from Amazon and Newegg.
Lenovo Smart Tab hands-on review
Got an Amazon Echo Show? Ever want to just take the screen and use it as a tablet in the bedroom? Lenovo’s new Smart Tab lets you do this. It’s an Android tablet you can attach to a Smart Dock to create an Echo Show competitor, complete with Alexa integration. The Echo Show mode can also be triggered without the dock.
Lenovo Smart Tab P10 review
Why have a fixed smart display when you could have a tablet with a speaker dock? Lenovo answers that question with the Lenovo Smart Tab P10 which is an Android tablet that turns into an Echo Show when docked. It’s affordable and attractive, but some troublesome issues lurk below the surface.
Hands on: Samsung Galaxy Tab S2
Samsung’s taking on Sony and other high-end Android tablet makers with its new Galaxy Tab S2 range. Thin, light, and with a screen that’s gorgeous to look at, we try both the 8-inch and the 9.7-inch version out.
