Back to School Gadget Buyers Guide 2021: Tablets
In this continued back to School Gadget series, we take a look at our recommended tablets. Aside from the laptop, arguably, I'd say it's the most used device amongst students. The market is fully saturated with tablets. But the three tablets that make this guide listing are the following.
My Personal Pick
Apple iPad Pro (2021)
Its been almost a decade since Apple debut the same iPad tablet. Since its inception to the market, the iPad product reign Supreme over tablet manufacturers. It's the iPad tablet and everyone else. This latest iPad Pro (2021) does not disappoint; checking the box on every category. Impressive sharp display, impeccable hardware, and great software.
The iPad Pro is an excellent solution for college students. You can take notes, draw graphs, engage in art and design, and of course, do the usual tasks that include surfing the web or browse through social media.
You can also pair the Magic Keyboard and Apple stylus (sold separately); this now changes your production level, including art rendering and video editing.
Price: Starting at $799
Second Option
Apple iPad Air
As I stated before, it's the Apple tablet; then there's everyone else. So it shouldn't come as a surprise that the iPad Air is also highly recommended. The Air has a beautiful display and excellent internal hardware featuring the A14 Bionic chip with 64-bit Neural Engine architecture. Like the iPad Pro, you can also attach the Magic keyboard and use the stylist pencil with the iPad Air.
Whereto Buy: Apple
Price: Starting at $599
Budget Option
Amazon Fire HD 10 Plus
In comparison to the two options I've listed thus far, Amazon Fire HD 10 Plus is, in my opinion, the best budget tablet on the market. It offers plenty for the retail price, including a 10.1-inch 1920 X 1200 resolution display with a decent battery life-extending well past 12 hours. Storage options are 32GB or 64GB.
Price: $179
