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

    • The fact that memory in general is so high I have to take a loan out to build a computer now is just beyond stupid. Who's really to blame here? Low supply or high demand?
    • Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5 by Razvan Serea Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) is a utility for completely removing AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL graphics drivers and related packages from your system, attempting to eliminate all leftovers (including registry entries, folders and files, driver store). Though AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL drivers can usually be removed via the Windows Control Panel, this uninstaller tool was created for situations where standard uninstall fails, or when you need to fully remove NVIDIA or ATI graphics card drivers. After using this driver cleaner, your system will behave as though it’s the first time you’re installing a new driver—similar to a fresh Windows installation. As with all such tools, we recommend creating a restore point beforehand, allowing you to undo changes if issues arise. If you're having trouble installing an older or newer driver, try it—there are reports that it resolves such problems. Recommended usage: The tool can be used in Normal mode but for absolute stability when using DDU, Safemode is always the best. Make a backup or a system restore (but it should normally be pretty safe). It is best to exclude the DDU folder completely from any security software to avoid issues. You do NOT need to uninstall the driver prior using DDU. Requirements: .NET Framework 4.8 Compatible with Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11 (32-bit or 64-bit) Note: Using on Insider Preview builds is at your own risk. Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5 changelog: Added 'Reset to recommended' button for the Options. General fixes and improvements.

WACUP 1.99.51.24568 Preview changelog: Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when doing some of the drag + drop actions within the media library window Fixed a loading crash seen related to a problem with some of the artwork cache image files being restored which should now be better handled allowing for the bad image to be removed without it failing Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when the internal metadata cache clearing is triggered which could block the main ui thread for too long with this now being moved to a background thread Fixed some performance issues with some of the methods related to determining artwork support which mainly affected the local library import / refresh (this is still slower for some compared to other players because there's more data & artwork aspects being checked for which means doing more processing on a single file despite the best of attempts to reduce duplicate / heavy processing where possible) Fixed a crash with the JTFE based missing files hotkey which no one seems to have used for an age for this to appear (maybe it's time to seriously consider stripping out features that aren't being used) Fixed how some of the file types which use extra information to reference their sub-songs is handled which was preventing some from being correctly resolved back to their base file (noticed fixing above) Fixed an issue with the handling of files with underscores in their filepath which wasn't being correctly handled causing some of the filename to be lost when shown as the title if title reading is delayed Fixed a few things that might be behind NotSoDirect not being stable for some setups though am still not certain that the changes done for this are going to fully resolve the problem from the crash reports Fixed the OS toast handling when there's no prior shortcut in the OS start menu to now create the shortcut (needed to allow the yes/no buttons for the new build / post-release toast) to be done as a hidden one so it's less likely to cause annoyance for those not wanting to see it whilst still allowing this less than ideal OS api implementation requirement to be met to avoid toasts without the needed buttons Fixed a regression when moving from taglib1 to taglib2 which broke some of the handling in place to allow for external programs to still access files when wacup has a held open cached instance of the file Everything else Updated cppwinrt (gen_win10shell.dll) to 3.0.260520.1 (26 May 2026) Updated libcurl (libcurl.dll) to 8.2.1 (24 Jun 2026) Updated Monkey's Audio (in_ape.dll) to 13.15 (28 Jun 2026) Updated mpg123 (mpg123.dll) to 1.33.6 (6 Jun 2026) Updated OpenSSL (libcurl.dll) to 3.5.7 (9 Jun 2026) Updated pugixml to 1.16 (16 Jun 2026) Updated taglib (tag2.dll) to 2.3.0 (11 May 2026) Updated vgmstream (in_vgmstream.dll) to the latest Git commit from 28 Jun 2026 Download: WACUP 64-bit | 9.6 MB (Freeware) Download: WACUP 32-bit View: WACUP Website | Screenshots Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
