Apple isn’t just on topofthe tablets market through sheer
numbers. Both the 10.2in iPad and the iPad Mini are sleek,
powerful slates with great displays; everything you could want
fromthe format. iPadOS points towards more of a2-in-1future,
but neither is like the iPad Pro in that they’re only half adevice
without the keyboard attachment. Both are very fine all by

themselves, although with its lower price and larger screen, we
have apreference forthe ‘standard’ iPad.
Special mention also goes to the Samsung Galaxy Ta bS6.
Again, its software upgrades on previous generations are geared
towards making it more of acomputing device,but it’s beautifully
designed, lasts an age between charges and packs agorgeous
