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.

The "new iPad" amazing! (not an apple fan boy!) but really happy with what it gives me.

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

: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.

My ASUS Transformer (TF101 - 32gb) has performed flawlessly and updated to ICS without a single hiccup.

iPad obviously. The app quality, the overall smoothness of iOS is still ahead of others.

My vote goes to the HP Touchpad, but good luck finding a new one!

webOS is a joy to use and there is also the option of running CM9 (The webcam & mic don't work though...)

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 love iPad. They started the trend and everyone else just copied the concept. ;)

ASUS TF101 or wait for the new models to come out in 2 to 4 months. Do some research as to what fits your needs on the new models.
