IPad 10.2 is a good buy. It’s an affordable price, has good specs, and comes with a nice HD display, and good battery life. The screen resolution is better than full HD meaning good quality visuals.

The front and side view of the Microsoft Surface Pro 7

Surface Pro 7 is a powerful tablet. It comes with good features, solid performance, and good display quality, and is available in a variety of models.

Yet, it’s not the best tablet to own because of a few things. Firstly, the battery life drains quickly if you open up too many apps. Secondly, the keyboard and stylus pen is sold separately, but they are also expensive.

And finally, the dark bezels are too thick around the display making it look so outdated if you look at the later models of today. Click here down below to check out more about this top-rated tablet.
