1 Apple iPad Pro (2020)
from £769/ stuff.tv/iPadPro2020
The old iPad Pro was already our favourite tablet by miles, and the latest update only makes it more desirable. As before, it isn’t cheap; but with its huge and super-slick 120Hz Liquid Retina screen, ludicrously speedy internals and double-lens camera (like the one in the iPhone 11), this is one working device to rule them all. Since Apple added cursor support to iPadOS, it’s also the best tablet to replace your laptop - and a glimpse into the near future of computing.

Microsoft Surface Go
from £509/ stuff.tv/SurfaceGo
Having this slinky Windows tab up your sleeve (not quite literally) is like carrying a mini PC at all times. The processor is fine for most tasks and the 10in screen is lovely… but check out the new Surface Go 2, reviewed on p29.

An affordable, ultra-portable workmate

Apple iPad
from £349/ stuff.tv/iPad2019
If all you want a tablet for is consuming media and typing up the occasional Word doc, this is still the best option. iPadOS’s arrival also makes this an ideal time to invest in a new tablet if you haven’t done so in a while.

The basic iPad remains the best entry-level tab

Microsoft Surface Pro 7
Rated 4 out of 5 stars from £799/ stuff.tv/SurfacePro7
Similar to the old model, but still one of the few hybrids we’d be happy to work all day on.

Amazon Fire HD 10
Rated 4 out of 5 stars from £150/ stuff.tv/FireHD10
Amazon obliterates the competition at the lower end of the tab market.
