The tablet market has expanded immensely since Apple released the iPad in April of 2010. Now tablets are made by almost every computer or cell phone manufacturer; Samsung, Apple, Google, Windows, etc. Tablets vary in sizes from 7 inches to almost 13, price $100 to $800, and range in the amount of storage and power they contain.  With all of these choices, it can be difficult knowing which one is right for you.

The best quality tablets are made by Samsung. Apple, Google and Windows. They can be little more expensive, but are still worth it in my opinion. There are many tablets in the $95 to $100 range that can be am uncommon name that are suitable some people; however they might not be the most reliable if you’re a relatively heavy user.                                                                              The tablets I would recommend would be the obvious Apple iPad. There are a couple options if you decide to go with the iPad. First there is the 9.7 inch iPad Air; If you are willing to pay at least $500 for 16 gigabytes of storage. The quality and simplicity make it a great choice for many users. The 7.87 inch iPad mini is great smaller version that is made to be taken on the go. There are two models of the mini, the iPad mini with retina display and the standard iPad minis have some differences. The retina display model starts at around $350 and just standard starts at around $280. The retina display model is well worth the almost $100, and the display is upgraded with the pixel density and a faster processor, which creates a faster and smoother performance.

The Samsung tablets are another fantastic option. Samsung has a lot of options to choose from. They all vary in memory, power, price, etc. The general sizes are 7, 8.4, 10.1, 12.2 inches, so they can be fit for pretty much anyone. The bigger the screen, the higher the price. The 12.2 galaxy tab pro starts at $550 at 32 GB of storage. A cool feature with the Samsung tablets is that they all have expandable storage. For example if you use 16 gigs of music you can pop in a micro SD card and expand up to 64 GBs of storage. Another great feature of the Samsung tablets are that they can on-screen multitask  like if you want to watch a movie while researching something you can, or do any combination of things.

Choosing a tablet can be tricky, It’s important to know what the best is and what’s right for the price. With the 3 options in operating systems IOS 7, Windows 8, and Android Kit Kat 4.4. it can be tough to know which is best. My recommendation would be to get a tablet with the same OS as your phone or computer. If you have an iPhone I’d say go with the iPad, and if you have an android go with a Samsung. This makes it easier for the average user to quickly set up and get used to your tablet. The Samsung and Apple tablets are my personal top choices, but windows or Google nexus tablets or any major company manufacturers are still great options. Just do some research for whatever seems fit for you.
