Tablets are everywhere. No matter where you turn this holiday shopping season, you’ll see them. Apple’s iPad is still in the driver’s seat, but its field of competitors is rapidly growing. How do you sort through all the noise, and make the best purchase?
Look no further than our 2012 Tablet Comparison Guide from Gizmag.
Specs aren’t everything, but they can suggest a device’s capabilities. Our comparison highlights the most important measurable categories, as well as those hard-to-define intangibles.
We condensed our list to the most popular tablets of the season. They are:
- Apple iPad (4th generation)
- Apple iPad mini
- Google/Samsung Nexus 10
- Google/Asus Nexus 7
- Amazon Kindle Fire HD (7″)
- Microsoft Surface RT
- Barnes & Noble Nook HD
There are omissions. Digging deeper would yield devices like the Transformer Pad Infinity and Galaxy Note 10.1. There are also variations on the included tablets, like the iPad 2, Nook HD+, and Kindle Fire HD 8.9″. Perhaps we’ll tackle these devices later. For now, we narrowed it down to an elite seven.
Without further ado, let’s compare the best tablets of 2012.
