Vote for your best and favourite tablets!


Recommended Posts

Hello, everyone. I'm interested to know that which tablet would catch Neowin users' eyes as there are so many different brands, performances and types of tablets in the market.

I wanted to make this as a poll but I am guessing that the poll options will be too big so, why not just type them out and tell us why do you think that it is your favourite and best tablet!!!

I am currently using Samsung Galaxy Tab and I'm still very pleased with the performance, etc. Then I move on to purchase a Samsung Galaxy Note because I felt more comfortable with Android over Apple. Had been an iDevices user for almost 2 years before going for the switch.

I would have suggested the ASUS Transformer or Transformer Prime, but the Prime has hardware issues (They are providing dongles for GPS I now suppose) and both of them have been sent majorly buggy ICS updates that make me want to throw mine in the draw for ever

If you don't mind using a Dongle for GPS, and are prepared to wait for ASUS to send out update 3 and hope this one actually works then the X4 Transformer Prime

The Wacom Intuos.

oh wait you meant Pad/slate didn't you...

:p

If you want to get extremely technical, he is correct in his use of "tablet" as that is what they are advertised as. The Wacom is a "graphics tablet" ;)

I like the ASUS line of tablets myself. However, I find the KB dock useless for a Android based tablet. Now, if/when they produce Win8 tabs, I would get a KB dock and possibly retire my ASUS Transformer. All depends on the pricing really. If it is pricey, then I would probably look at retiring my laptop and tablet and just go for one device.

I'm really enjoying my BlackBerry PlayBook. It is a bit app deficient, but it has enough for the time being, and entirely replaced my laptop for a week. I still need to use Zune once in a while for my Lumia 710, but I can easily get away with just using the PlayBook, and in fact I sometimes take it with me, and no laptop when I'm doing tech support house calls if I know I'll be working with WiFi.

I'm a bit of a tablet geek, in the past year alone I have bought: iPad, iPad 2, Asus Transformer w\Keyboard dock, HP Touchpad, HTC Flyer, 2 Amazon Kindle Fires, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1... I think thats it

I would say I have no specific favourite but I do have favourite features or wants that would make the perfect tablet in my opinion and that would be the connectivity of the Transformer, the design and build quality of HTC & Apple, an AMOLED from Samsung, 7" form factor, Aluminum chassis, thin profile with WebOS that has Androids Market place and Apple's customer service :D

Don't have a tablet, but if I were to get one, it would be the new iPad. Purely on the basis that I love iOS (Have iPhone 4) and because of that I already own all the apps I want, so transferring them is free and wouldn't have to buy again.

If I HAD to buy a tablet and was on a budget, I'd get some Android tablet

    • 0 chance of that happening, forget it. Get it installed by some tech guy or do it yourself with the bypasses, that's how MS is being lenient and looking the other way to give users a chance.

    • So, recently, I saw on the news (yes, on this website) that Samsung is introducing features where it can provide education using AI-powered sets, and because of this, I got concerned about whether the AI gives out wrong info during education sessions, causing controversies in the process. What are your thoughts on this? 
    • TCL's Bang & Olufsen soundbar is 40% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The TCL Design Series A65K is currently $299.99, down from $499.99. That's 40% off and $200 saved on a soundbar tuned by Bang & Olufsen, which is not a combination you'd normally expect at this price point (purchase link below). Bang & Olufsen doesn't typically show up in the sub-$500 category. The Danish audio brand is known for speakers that cost several times more, so having their acoustic tuning on a $300 soundbar is very appealing. TCL handles the hardware, B&O handles the sound engineering, and the result is what the company calls "accessible luxury." Still, accessible luxury isn’t full-fledged luxury, so don’t expect wonders. But this is a decent soundbar, nevertheless. The A65K is a true 3.1.2 channel system with nine physical drivers, including genuine up-firing height speakers for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. Many soundbars at this price simulate overhead effects through virtual processing, rather than actual hardware. So, you’re getting the real deal. The design is unusually slim for a system with Atmos compatibility. The bar is just under 2 inches deep and should fit beneath most TV screens. The wireless subwoofer is also compact at roughly 14 x 14 x 5 inches. Total output is 460W, and you can connect to the soundbar via HDMI eARC, Bluetooth 5.3, or USB. There are also eight sound modes through the TCL Home app and an AI calibration capability. Although it’s worth mentioning that AI capabilities in most of these devices are inconsistent, to say the least, and that shouldn’t be the biggest selling point. Still, at $299.99, the A65K is a strong buy for anyone who wants a soundbar that sounds and looks noticeably better than what this price range usually offers. And the Bang & Olufsen branding surely sounds nice - pun intended.
