Best Tablet Overall: Apple iPad
The fourth-generation iPad has two things the competition can't match: a class-leading Retina Display and more than 300,000 apps. While other slates have high-resolution screens, the iPad's panel offers the best mix of brightness, color and contrast. The powerful A6X processor is ready to run the best apps around, from console-quality games and photo- and video-editing tools to robust office suites. A wide range of accessories just sweetens the deal.

Best 7-Inch Tablet: Apple iPad mini
One of the thinnest and most portable tablets on the market is also one of the longest-lasting. The aluminum iPad mini measures just 0.3 inches thin and weighs 10.9 ounces, less than the Nexus 7 (12 ounces) and Kindle Fire HD (13.9 ounces). More impressive is the mini's staying power; it lasted an epic 10.5 hours on our battery test, which blows away other small slates. Add in lots of quality apps and you have a winner.

Best Tablet for Entertainment: Amazon Kindle Fire HD
When it comes to content, no one tops Amazon, especially if you're looking for free stuff to watch and read. The 7-inch Kindle Fire HD offers Amazon Prime members ($79 per year) a host of compelling movies, TV shows and books for free. We also love the loud and crisp stereo speakers and super-bright display on this tablet, as well as the 7.5 hours of battery life. While not as large as Google Play, the Amazon Appstore offers tons of compelling games and apps. Parents will appreciate the FreeTime feature for setting usage limits.
