Our best tablet 2015 round-up is the definitive selection of tablets of every size, type and price. If you can’t find a tablet you like from this selection, you probably shouldn’t buy a tablet.
It's worth understanding what you need in order to find the best tablet for you. Here are a few pointers to consider when choosing your tablet – if you already know what you need, hit the next arrow above or scroll down for our list.
What size tablet should I buy?
First and foremost, consider size and price. The general rule is the bigger the tablet, the higher the fee. Tablets mainly come in three screen sizes – 7-inch, 8-inch and 10-inch – though smaller and larger tablets do exist.
7-inch tablets are usually cheap, light and perfect for reading while you’re on the way to or from work. However, they’re not terrific for watching videos. 10-inch tablets are good for productivity and watching videos on, but they’re a lot heavier and more expensive. 8-inchers strike a decent balance between the two and are increasingly the most popular tablet size.
What type of tablet should I buy?
You also need to think about which type of tablet you want. For example, if you're after a tablet to replace your laptop, a ‘hybrid’ could be your best bet. Some, like the Microsoft Surface Pro 3, work great as an on-the-go productivity tool. We've included some of the best specialist tablets too, including one that's great for gaming and another that’s ideal for budding digital artists.
Our latest update introduces some promising, upcoming cheap Windows hybrids from Asus and Toshiba; a 13-inch Windows hybrid from Dell; the return of Samsung’s drawing focused tablet and a stunning new 8-inch Android tablet, also from Dell.

How we test tablets
We review dozens of tablets every year, some of which are good, some bad. This gives us a clear insight into what makes a great tablet and also means we can compare them like-for-like.We use every tablet we review just like you will, but we also subject them to benchmark tests to compare performance – whether that's for the processor, screen, camera or battery. Our scores and awards are based on a blend of a tablet's features, as well as how easy it is to use and how much it costs.
Key aspects such as design, screen quality, battery life and value make up the biggest part of the scores and are an important part of what it takes to make it onto our list of the best tablets. This round-up takes the long and in-depth reviews and condenses them. If you want to know more about a specific tablet, just click the link to go to the full review.
Our best tablet round-up includes something for everyone. However, if you still need help choosing your perfect tablet, head over to our Tablet Buying Guide. It will walk you through the different options and explain some of the confusing jargon that might otherwise put you off.
