6. iPad Pro
The iPad Pro is Apple’s biggest and most powerful tablet yet, with a 12.9-inch screen, an A9X processor and 4GB of RAM. That big screen combined with four great speakers makes it a media powerhouse and if you splash out for the Apple Pencil or Smart Keyboard you can get serious work done on it too.

Sony’s Xperia Z4 Tablet is lightweight and slim with a powerful processor and a brilliant 2K display. It’s got a lovely screen, lightweight design, all the Sony elements you’d look for and the right power combination to keep it on the front foot. It is definitely one of the best Android tablets available on the market and it’s one of the few capable of putting up a fight against the iPad Air 2.
Specs
Weight: 389g | Dimensions: 254 x 167 x 6.1 mm | OS: Android 5.0 | Screen size: 10.1-inch | Resolution: 2560 x 1600 | CPU: octa-core | RAM: 3GB of RAM | Storage: 32GB | Battery: 6000mAh | Rear camera: 8.1MP | Front camera: 5.1MP
4. iPad mini 4
With its sleek design, fairly powerful processor and stunning screen iPad mini 4 is everything its predecessor mini 3 should have been. It’s still slightly less powerful than the iPad Air 2 and a lot less powerful than the iPad Pro, but it’s also cheaper than them and it’s one of the highest-spec compact slates around.
Specs
Weight: 299g | Dimensions: 203.2 x 134.8 x 6.1mm | OS: iOS 9.1 | Screen size: 7.9-inch | Resolution:1536 x 2048 | CPU: Dual-core 1.5 GHz | RAM: 2GB | Storage: 16GB/64GB/128GB | Battery: 5124mAh | Rear camera: 8MP | Front camera: 1.2MP

2. Google Pixel C
The Google Pixel C is the best Android tablet money can buy. The Pixel C has it all: a fantastic display, heaps of power and a premium design. Okay, it’s not quite got it all – it’s a little on the heavy side and the pricey (yet rather clever) keyboard dock isn’t fully utilized by the Android interface which is made very much for touch and not physical keys and productivity.
Specs
Weight: 517g | Dimensions: 242 x 179 x 7mm | OS: Android Marshmallow| Screen size: 10.2-inch | Resolution: 2560 x 1800 | CPU: Tegra X1 | RAM: 3GB | Storage: 32GB/64GB | Battery: up to 10 hours | Rear camera: 8MP | Front camera: 2MP
1. iPad Air 2
It’s even thinner and lighter than last time around and to a noticeable extent. The screen is better, with more vibrant colours, it’s more powerful thanks to its A8X processor and the battery life holds up just as well. It even benefits from Touch ID and Apple Pay and while these features aren’t as exciting here as they are on phones they’re still nice to have.In short the iPad Air 2 really is the complete package and while you can always find things to niggle about there are no significant flaws.
Specs
Weight: 437g | Dimensions: 240 x 169.5 x 6.1mm | OS: iOS 9.1 | Screen size: 9.7-inch | Resolution:1536 x 2048 | CPU: Triple-core 1.5 GHz | RAM: 2GB | Storage: 16/64/128GB | Battery: 7340mAh | Rear camera: 8MP | Front camera: 1.2MP
