The Apple iPad (2025) with 128 GB of storage is a strong choice if you’re looking for a versatile, yet powerful tablet for everyday use. This iPad is one of the best tablets in terms of value for money. The 11‑inch Liquid Retina display with True Tone is easy to read in bright sunlight, while True Tone also helps to minimise eye strain when, for example, you’re watching a film in a dark room. Thanks to the A16 chip, the tablet runs quickly and smoothly, even when you’re using multiple apps at the same time. With 128 GB of storage, you’ll have plenty of space for your apps, photos and videos. The battery offers up to 10 hours of use, so you can get through a full working day without needing to recharge.
The Lenovo Idea Tab is an Android tablet with an 11‑inch LCD screen and included accessories. Thanks to the 2.5K display with a refresh rate of 90 hertz, photos look sharp and videos play smoothly. The MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor and 8 GB of RAM ensure smooth performance for everyday use and multitasking. With 128 GB of storage, you have plenty of space for your apps and files, and you can easily expand this with a microSD card. The included folio case protects the Lenovo tablet and can be used as a stand, while the stylus lets you take notes or sketch comfortably. The Idea Tab runs on Android 15, giving you access to the latest apps and features.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab A11+ is a budget-friendly tablet that runs smoothly and displays your content in sharp detail. The 11‑inch screen with a 90 hertz refresh rate makes videos and games look fluid and is bright enough for outdoor use. With the MT8775 octa‑core processor and 6 GB of RAM, you can switch between apps with ease, and the 128 GB of storage gives you plenty of space for all your photos, documents and downloads. This tablet runs on Android 16 with One UI 8, providing an intuitive user experience and support for software updates. It’s also handy that you can expand the storage of the Galaxy Tab A11+ with a microSD card and use USB‑C fast charging whenever you need it.
If you don’t just use your tablet at home but also take it with you on the go, the Galaxy Tab S10 FE is a great choice. The casing of this Samsung tablet is water and dust resistant, so you can take it with you on the road or when travelling without worry. The screen also remains easy to read even in bright daylight, which is handy when you’re sitting outside. Galaxy AI helps you work productively by summarising texts, organising notes, intelligently editing photos and translating conversations or content live. With the included S Pen, you can take notes, highlight text and make sketches. The tablet has 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, which you can expand with a memory card if you need more space. The large battery capacity ensures you can use the tablet for a long time without recharging: on a full charge, you can watch videos for up to 20 hours.
The Apple iPad Air (2026) is one of the latest iPad models and delivers powerful performance thanks to the M4 chip. It handles demanding 3D apps, games and multitasking with ease. Apple Intelligence helps you write, summarise information, use Live Translation and more. The 13-inch Liquid Retina display delivers sharp images and vibrant colours. Thanks to iPadOS, you get a smooth and intuitive operating system that lets you customise the iPad Air to suit the way you work. You can also easily connect your iPad to your MacBook or iPhone to share photos and videos. The USB-C port lets you connect Apple accessories and external storage, and fast-charge your iPad.
Choosing the right tablet starts with how you mainly plan to use it. The operating system determines how smoothly your tablet works together with your smartphone, computer and accessories. For example, if you already use a Mac and iPhone and find it important that your tablet and other devices interact seamlessly, then an iPad might be the right choice for you. If you primarily use your tablet for reading, browsing and occasionally streaming a video, then a model with a good-quality screen is a smart choice. If you often work in multiple apps at the same time or use demanding software, then 6 to 8 GB of RAM and a recent processor are important to keep everything running smoothly.
