The 7 Best Tablets
Ordered by bestness. This list is indisputable.
At this point in the game, a tablet is a tablet is a tablet. The scale of the differences between them is small, and it gets smaller all the time. Some are more expensive; some have better software. But if I were going to tell somebody else which tablet to buy, this is roughly the order I’d consider them in for 99 percent of all human beings.
2. iPad (4th generation)
Are you a particular kind of person, the kind of person who thinks they will “create content” on a tablet? iPad Big.
3. Amazon Kindle Fire HD 7 (Tie)
Tiebreaker: Are you over the age of thirty six? Kindle Fire HD 7.
3. Nexus 7 (Tie)
Tiebreaker: Do you have a smartphone? Do you know how to use it? Nexus 7.
(You could also probably just stop here.)
4. Kindle Fire HD 8.9
Are you over the age of thirty six? And blind? Kindle Fire HD 8.9.
5. Nexus 10
Do you think most Apple parodies on the internet are funny? Nexus 10.
(This is perhaps the only good Apple parody on the entire internet.)
6. Microsoft Surface
Do you believe in miracles and appreciate innovations in typing? Would you like to bet $600 on that belief? Microsoft Surface.

CoopAnderson1000 3 months agoOne Android tablet maker making strides to offer quality Android tablets at competitive prices is Ainol Electronics - which has previously won runner-up for “Best Tablet of the Year” at CES, and for 2013 has introduced the Novo Quad Core Series of Android tablets— including the Novo 7 Venus — with one reseller - a site called TabletSprint offering this new model for $149 USD — The Novo 7 Venus compares and to the Nexus 7 seven inch tablet but for considerably less - matching key features, including a Quad Core processor, a high resolution multi-touch 1280x800 IPS screen, 16GB memory, a front camera, Android O/S and Google Play Store preinstalled — while also offering a number of features the Nexus 7 doesn’t - including a 2-megapixel rear camera, a MicroSD memory card slot, an HDMI 1080p port to download and watch movies directly from a tablet on a large screen TV and also project & play video games on to a big screen; plus more ways to connect to the internet, including Ethernet as well as 3G/4G Wireless connection through its USB port with a 3G/4G USB adapter.

rickm14 3 months agoThe Novo Hero II has also just launched - a full size, 10 inch Android tablet that packs in most of the same features, including a quad core processor and 1280x800 IPS screen, and innovative features, including 4K HDMI Digital Output - Plus 32GB memory and a strong 8,000 mAh battery — all for less than $250 at TabletSprint. Offering some of the most impressive features is the newly released Novo 9 Spark - which features a Quad Core processor along with a brilliant 9.7 inch 2048x1536 (Retina) screen – with a powerful 10,000 mAh battery, 4K Digital HDMI, and a 5 Megapixel Rear Camera with AF and Flash for about $269 USD and also available through TabletSprint. It should be interesting to see how the new Novo Quad Core Series fares in 2013 as this company gains more presence in the tablet market.

I simply still use apple products, simply for the fact I am used to the layouts and designs, and I know what to expect. There’s a certain “cleaner” finish about apple products too. I’m no apple fanboy, I’d never argue with someone who thought another product was better, because I wouldn’t know! I just like apple.

Except for the over half billion Android devices activated so far, with more than one million activated a day, a more open and faster growing app store, but other than blowing Apple out of the water in the smartphone market at 52% and 40% and growing in the tablet market. Apple has never been good, they are clever at marketing and design, but never useful. Google has owned the bleeding edge of usefulness in many startups, and they are learning design and marketing far faster than Apple, and in the end, they will win.
