Tablets are entering our world at a rapid pace. Just a few years ago they were a curiosity for many people, but now you have such a variety of choices that even the most daring electronics market analyst could not have dreamed of in 2010, when “tablets” were just beginning their climb to the Olympus. "

And with choices come decisions—hard decisions. You avoid the tall ones Apple prices, join Android team and looking best alternative iPad? Or are you an Apple fan and use one of the most popular tablets in the world?

In the process of creating our in-depth review, we did not ignore the new iPad mini 2 with retina display and. And below you can see what places they occupy in the ranking.

The Amazon Kindle Fire HDX is coming to the market, and we'll talk about that too - we have high hopes for affordable yet high-powered tablets.

We have made it easier for you to choose and have collected information about the 10 best tablets available in Russia today.

And for those of you who are still new to this whole tablet fever, we will bring you up to date and tell you what a tablet is.

In general terms, modern tablet computers boast touchscreens ranging from 7 to 13 inches. These parameters are by no means static, and the lines may become blurred as smartphone displays become available. bigger size– examples include the 5.7-inch Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and the huge 6.44-inch Sony Xperia Z Ultra.

Physical keyboards are also rare, but there are exceptions such as the Asus Transformer Pad Infinity and Mircosoft Surface Pro 2, which feature a tablet keyboard dock.

Applications

10. Tesco Hudl

What is it – Tesco supermarket has decided to start producing tablets? What next - Argos will also make their own? Wait a minute... that aside, the Hudl tablet is super cheap, a $192 Android model that puts other tablets under $200 to shame.

For its price, the Hudl is very well equipped, sporting a solid design and a very decent 7-inch display. The Android OS it ships with will satisfy those who aren't fans of the various interface overlays that exist, and the addition of a slot for microSD cards also cannot be ignored.

Of course, Hudl won't blow you away with super-fast performance, although the quad-core processor means powerful hardware. The quality of the built-in camera leaves much to be desired, but this is not surprising considering the price of the tablet.

Brief conclusion

If you can afford to spend $300, we'd still recommend the Google Nexus 7 as the best tablet on the market for its price. If you intend to spend about half that amount, then we don't see any other alternative to a compact Hudl.

9. iPad mini

Former Apple boss Steve Jobs heavily criticized small tablets a few years ago, leading many to believe that the Cupertino company would never flutter in the budget segment of the market, but here we are.

As part of continuity in the tablet market Apple there is no equal, since this product now claims the first two places in our top ten, although the iPad mini is no longer the diamond in the sparkling crown - it has already been trampled by the updated Google Nexus 7 and the next model from Google.

Now, on new version Mini, we have all the retina display magic we hoped for. The old Mini isn't bad either - we'd just recommend paying close attention to the newer model first.

Brief conclusion

When it came out, we dubbed the iPad mini " best iPad ever made by Apple,” and while that title is now claimed by , this compact tablet is still good choice for the buyer on a budget.

If the screen makes a repulsive impression on you, do not worry, because the iPad mini 2 came out with a retina display - but even despite this fact, the first Mini is quite good and competitive.

8.Microsoft Surface Pro 2

"Ding-ding", round two. Here's Microsoft's second-generation Windows 8 tablet, which improves on its predecessor and delivers a seamless tablet-laptop hybrid experience.

When it comes to portability, the Surface Pro 2 won't win any awards - it's big and heavy, but if you're looking for a powerful business tablet, the Pro 2 is one of the best (if not the best) available.

Microsoft has improved the Pro 2 in many ways over the original Surface Pro, bringing updated Windows 8.1 OS, a strong Intel processor, improved battery life and a folding support leg in two positions.

Brief conclusion

The Surface Pro 2 doesn't offer the best native user experience, but if you're looking for a device that blurs the lines between laptop and tablet, then it's definitely worth a look.

Having a convenient qwerty keyboard, big screen and the Microsoft Office suite, it's undeniably a business machine, but it also offers something quite different from the iPad and Android devices.

Still, it’s expensive, which means get ready to shell out at least $1,000 for basic version– plus all this you will need keyboard.

7. Google Nexus 10

The 10.1-inch display is one of the most common talking points about the Google Nexus 10. At 299 pixels per inch, it's the highest resolution in the world found on a 10-inch tablet - so much for Apple and your retina screens.

If you're looking for something that packs even more pixels, you'll need to trade down on screen size for the 7-inch Nexus 7, which has a resolution of 323 pixels per inch.

Also, this tablet performs excellently. Aside from the fact that he takes a while to process panoramic photos, we never felt like he was struggling to keep up with his duties. It is always fast and trouble-free, no matter what tasks we throw at it.

Sure, the Nexus 10 may not look as stunning or have as good a design as the iPad, and the lack of storage expansion won't please some, but overall the Nexus 10 gives you quality functionality with a larger screen and Android OS than should not be neglected.

Brief conclusion

Google Nexus 10 is definitely one of the best Android tablets available in the market. And while it's not nearly as excellent value for money as the Nexus 7, this tablet is almost as good as Apple's pricey iPad Air. You won't be disappointed if you pay your dues for your purchase. amount.

6. Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 7

More meager and simpler, but more powerful than its predecessor. Amazon continued its fun with the Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 7, and it looks like it's keeping up with the new Nexus 7.

On paper, Amazon's latest 7-inch tablet more than fits the bill, boasting a 2.2GHz quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM, a full HD display, up to 64GB of hard drive storage, and prices starting at $300. .

However, in reality it is not a product completely similar to the Nexus 7 - Amazon's heavily modified Fire 3.0 operating system lacks many of the functions of "pure" Android, plus the tablet's interface is "tailored" for shopping on the services of the world's largest online store.

Brief conclusion

For the trade-off in shopping services, the Kindle Fire HDX 7 gets simplicity and ease of use. We'd like to call it the type of tablet you'd hand to someone less technically savvy, but those devices typically don't have as good hardware as this one.

If you're a heavy user or heavily invested in the Amazon ecosystem, the Kindle Fire HDX 7 is a good buy. And for those who want a little more functionality, we can advise taking the Nexus 7; if you have a thicker wallet, then pay attention to iPad mini 2.

5. LG G Pad 8.3

What is this? LG entered the TOP 8 The best smartphones 2014, and now it is in the top five best tablets? Is this brand making a comeback?

Well, when you make an Android tablet with the same design as this tablet, maybe it's time to start quietly worrying about Samsung. Instead of plastic, this model has a nice aluminum body, and the ability to connect to other Android phones makes it a viable solution for a wider range of users.

One might wonder if the Snapdragon 600 processor is too underpowered for a tablet that costs almost $450. However, as LG says, this approach allowed them to create a more elegant design that is consistent with the traditions of the Korean brand.

Brief conclusion

We really liked the G Pad 8.3, and the fact that it didn't place very high on our list was due to its slightly faster battery drain than we expected - but it has a lot more positives.

This is the closest competitor iPad Mini of the existing ones, if we talk about design, and this is a tablet that is not ashamed to take out from its elegant thinness cover.

4. Sony Xperia Tablet Z

Elegant, powerful, iconic - all these words can describe the impressive tablet from Sony.

This brand works hard in the field mobile technologies for a few years now, but now the combination of SonyXperia and Tablet Z shows that the Japanese brand is bringing us devices that people can finally truly aspire to own.

And here is one of the qualities that we liked about the Tablet Z: it is light, really light, and its entire design emphasizes with its entire appearance that this is an elite model. Sony has exceeded expectations in this regard and released a tablet that would not look out of place in a business class lounge or at the center of a home entertainment complex.

It's also waterproof, a quality you might not experience often, but it makes the tablet durable. And this frees your thoughts from worries when you handle such an expensive thing.

Brief conclusion

Featuring a super-thin body, an impressive screen and plenty of installed applications Sony, Xperia Tablet Z is one of the best gadgets, which are available at the beginning of 2014.

The quality of the Tablet Z is evident from the moment you take it out of your bag, and the fast guts and impressive weight are enough to warrant a hearty recommendation.

It's no iPad Air, but we're still excited to see what Sony has in store for 2014 in terms of its next models.

3. Google Nexus 7

The new Nexus 7 takes the place of Google's original 7-inch version from 2012. It's stuffed with four nuclear processor with a frequency of 1.5 GHz, 2 GB of RAM and comes with 16 GB or 32 GB of hard drive space.

Available at just 260g, it's the perfect tablet to toss into your bag and rush to your local supermarket. Or, it might as well help you out on a long road trip, with tons of apps, decent battery life, and that latest 7-inch IPS display with a high resolution of 1920 x 1200 and 323 pixels per inch.

It's slightly more expensive than the previous model when it launched, with prices starting at $320 for the 16GB version, up to $390 for the 32GB version. And it’s worth remembering that the operating system also takes some of this memory to ensure the new Android 4.4 KitKat works successfully.

Plus, initially there is a 4G option... no, wait, this is not yet available in Russia either, but at least it is appearing.

But the tablet has some high-tech features, a low-risk upgrade policy, and it's built in a way that feels both premium quality and durable enough to carry around the house. In our opinion, this is a good combination.

Brief conclusion

If you're looking to buy a tablet now and are already a little immersed in the Android ecosystem, we see no reason not to go for the Nexus 7.

If you haven't paid any attention to Android at all, then you're in a good position to start. You might consider the iPad mini 2, which is suitable for those who have accumulated a lot of purchases from App Store, but it's not as affordable as the new Nexus 7.

The new iPad Mini jumped into second place, beating out everything the new Nexus 7 has to offer, but it's the tablet battle many were expecting. For the more sensible among you, if you're in the market for a decent tablet, the new Nexus 7 is out competition.

2. iPad Mini 2 with retina display

Look at this - Apple took the top two spots in our tablet roundup. You'll either love it or hate it, but we can't deny that Apple makes the best tablets on the market today.

The iPad Air sits just ahead of the Mini 2, thanks to the fact that it's more competitively priced and has bigger screen for iPad applications.

But this device is far from limited. It's got a ton of stylish features, from the aluminum lid, the super-fast A7 processor, and that screen... it's something we should have had last year, but even twelve months later the iPad Mini 2 is still impressive.

Brief conclusion

The iPad Mini 2 is actually slightly swallowed up by changes to the Air's design - the larger tablet is now increasingly encroaching on "portable tablet" territory.

However, the Mini 2 has the same number of pixels in a smaller area, resulting in better text and image clarity - and without affecting the device's performance or battery life, which is a miracle in itself.

If only it were a little cheaper, we'd have two five-star tablets available on the market right now - but even so, if you're looking for an excellent tablet in the small-size category (and you're not too worried about the price, the moneybag you are), then Mini 2 doesn't even come with anything compare.

1. iPad Air

We have a new player number 1! If you've already read our review of the iPad Air, you'll be in for no surprises as Apple's latest tablet is first in line for a five-star rating on .

People scoffed when Apple released the first iPad, but the sector has grown exponentially since the first-generation model was released, and since Air tablet The Cupertino company has finally put the finishing touches on the overall success formula for its tablets.

The impressive design coupled with a thinner, lighter body makes for a high-end and truly beautiful tablet, and having Apple's powerful A7 and M7 processors under the hood means it handles even the toughest tasks in no time.

Of course, the price tag is still quite a big number, but it's comparable to that of the Sony Xperia Tablet Z and the like, finally making the iPad Air a contender in the huge gaming market... and with that in mind, it's unbeatable.

Brief conclusion

"Not only is it Apple's best tablet, it's the only tablet you should consider if you like a bigger screen." Here's our verdict when we put together our in-depth review of the iPad Air. While the Xperia Tablet Z is good, the Air is simply great and rightfully takes first place in our rating.

If you want the best tablet on the market, stop searching. iPad Air is your choice. Apple's tablet has once again won the top spot for the company from Cupertino, but the fight for the palm does not stop for a second, and in 2014 it promises to be hotter than ever.

Let us remind you that not so long ago we chose, where the first place also went to an Apple device.

Analysts predict an increase in the popularity of tablets around the world in the coming years. Indeed, a tablet is an incredibly convenient device that will allow its owner to access a variety of things anywhere and anytime. Therefore, this area is very profitable for manufacturers.

At CES 2014, Acer introduced several new tablet models. We already know some of them; there are no global changes in them. An example is the Chromebook, which now has a touchscreen. Let us recall that a little earlier on Russian market a model was offered, but without a touch screen. But there were also the latest new tablets and very interesting ones.

The company showed a series of Android tablets. Everyone interested could get acquainted with the new compact tablet Iconia W4. This tablet is already available in select markets.

What is Acer Iconia W4? The tablet is a continuation of the model released last year and which became the most compact of all existing Windows tablets. The new product runs on Windows 8.1 and is equipped with an Intel Atom Bay Trail processor latest generation with a frequency of 1.8 GHz, has 2 GB of RAM, 32 or 64 GB of internal memory. The tablet can work up to 10 hours autonomously. It is important that there is built-in Office, version Home and Student 2013. The owner will not have to pay extra for the software. There are two cameras: a 2-megapixel front camera and a main one, which can shoot in 5-megapixel resolution. The main camera can record video in FullHD and is equipped with auto focus. But the biggest pride is the screen: IPS matrix with a resolution of 1280 by 800 pixels, aspect ratio 16:10. It is made using Zero Air Gap technology, that is, it has no air gap. This improves outdoor comfort and reduces glare.

Acer Iconia A1 and Acer Iconia B1 are interesting couple budget tablets. The B1 model has a new dual-core processor with a frequency of 1.3 GHz and 1 GB of RAM, 16 GB of memory, a microSD slot, supports Wi-Fi connectivity and work in 2G/3G networks.

The cost is not yet known, but sales in Russia are expected to start in March.

A review of new tablets is impossible without the first tablets from Nokia. Let us recall that some time ago information appeared on the Internet that in the new year, 2014, Nokia plans to release its first tablets. My Nokia Blog resource wrote about this. The company was actively working on the creation of 8.5 and 10.5-inch tablets. Both new products have aluminum cases. It was reported that the thickness of the second device will be only 8.5 mm. It was assumed that the company's first tablets would receive Windows RT as a system platform. Tablet computers, as the resource reported, will be produced, in addition to classic ones, also in black, yellow, red, blue and green. And now, on December 20 of last year, 2013, earlier than My Nokia Blog reported, sales of the first new tablet from Nokia, called Lumia 2520, began.

The model supports 4G LTE connection. Nokia Lumia The 2520 is an excellent 10.1-inch tablet powered by operating system Windows 8 RT using a 4-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor with a clock frequency of 2200Mhz. There is a 2D/3D accelerator Adreno 330, 2Gb of RAM and 32Gb of non-volatile memory, a slot for microSD memory cards. The Lumia 2520 tablet is equipped with interfaces such as USB, Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi, micro HDMI video output. The developers have provided a 6.7Mpx camera, 3G support, and an audio and video player.

Other manufacturers are also trying to keep up. Thus, the German company Gigaset, which until recently was known for its production cordless phones, suddenly unexpectedly announced the start of production of two new tablets based on Andriod. Gigaset is not very well known outside of its home country. The launch of the 8" QV830 and 10" QV1030 is sure to be a success in Germany. This should be facilitated by high parameters technical level, because the tablets contain a quad-core Tegra 4 processor. For now, the tablets are only available to residents of Germany. It’s hard to say whether the new products will gain popularity in other markets.

The QV830 tablet is a more economical option, which is equipped with a 1.2 GHz quad-core MediaTek processor, a 1024 by 768 screen, 8 GB of memory, and a 5 and 1.2 MP camera.

And the QV1030 model is a more serious option, equipped with a quad-core Tegra 4 processor at 1.8 GHz, a 2560 by 1600 screen, 16 GB of memory and an improved camera of 8 and 1.2 MP.

However, both new models from Gigaset will operate using slightly outdated version- Android 4.2 Jelly Bean.

In Germany, the sales start is scheduled for early December, the price is: 199 euros ($270, 165 pounds, 296 Australian dollars) and 369 euros ($502, 307 pounds, 550 Australian dollars), respectively.

And the Sharp website informed its readers about the Mebius Pad tablet. Its announcement took place at the CEATEC exhibition back in September last year.

The device is equipped with a processor (1.46-2.4 GHz) Atom Z3770 (Bay Trail) from Intel and a 10.1-inch proprietary IGZO screen (WQXGA resolution - 2560 by 1600 pixels, pixel density 300 ppi).

There is support for LTE networks, 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal memory, Wi-Fi, NFC and Bluetooth 4.0 modules, a GPS receiver, 2 and 8 megapixel cameras, a microSD slot for cards up to 64 GB. According to the manufacturer, the battery life is 15.5 hours, and the full charge time battery- 5 o'clock.

It should be noted that currently there are no tablet analogs with such functionality on the market. Let us remind you that the Lumia 2520 has support for LTE technology, but the role of the OS in it is played by Windows RT.

The tablet dimensions are 9.5 by 171 by 265 mm, weight 595 grams. It is reported that sales of the Sharp Mebius Pad are scheduled to start in Japan in January. The price of the device and the start of sales in other regions have not yet been announced.
