Dell Venue 8 Pro Review
We review Dell’s 8-inch Intel-powered Windows 8.1 tablet. It has a nice screen and feels solid. But you’ll have to pay extra for pen input, and Windows still has a few problems on the tablet front.
Nokia Lumia 2520 review
We review the Lumia 2520, Nokia’s first and likely last Windows RT tablet. Find out how it stacks up against other tablets and the Surface 2.
Panasonic Toughpad FZ-G1 review
Heavy and thick, the ToughPad FZ-G1 is the tablet to have when the going gets rough
Dell Venue 8 review
Dell created a decent, middle of the road Android tablet in the Venue 8 that won't wow shoppers but is good value for the price.

Lenovo tries hard to make a hit tablet with the Yoga Tablet, but misses the mark when it comes to software.
Lenovo Yoga Tablet 8 review
Lenovo tries hard to make a hit tablet with the Yoga Tablet, but misses the mark when it comes to software.
Microsoft Surface 2 review
We review the Microsoft Surface 2, one of the only new Windows RT 8.1 tablets that will hit shelves this year. Is it worth the $450 asking price? Find out here.
LG G Pad 8.3 review
We review LG’s first tablet in a couple years. Does the LG G Pad 8.3 have what it takes to compete with Apple’s iPad Mini and Google’s Nexus 7?
Amazon Kindle Fire HDX review
We review Amazon’s Kindle Fire HDX. Snappy performance and a newbie-friendly Mayday feature make it a nice first tablet, but its exterior design leaves a lot to be desired. And app selection is still pretty weak compared to Google or Apple alternatives.
Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) review
We review Samsung’s Galaxy Note 101.1 2014 Edition and find it much improved inside and out. But its appeal is lessened by its high price and stuttering performance.
Hands On: The Pro 2 is a faster, more powerful Surface (but it’s still a Surface)
We go hands on with the Microsoft Surface Pro 2, which is an improvement over its predecessor in many ways, but still suffers when it comes to comfort, weight, and price.
Hands on: Kobo’s Arc10 HD feels underpowered and overpriced
For $400, Kobo’s Arc10 moves too slow and feels too buggy beside competitors like Google’s Nexus 7, which sells for less and feels far faster. Is there any way it can succeed?
Asus Memo Pad HD 7 review
We review the Memo Pad HD 7, Asus’s best stab at a truly affordable tablet, and we like what we see. The HD 7 competes well with the Nexus 7 and other budget tablets.
Lenovo IdeaTab A1000 review
We review the Lenovo A1000. Does Lenovo have what it takes to compete in the budget tablet market with Google’s Nexus 7 and the Kindle Fire?
Toshiba Excite Write review
We review the Excite Write, Toshiba’s $600 attempt to compete with Samsung’s Galaxy Note 8.0. Is it the new best tablet for writing?
Google Nexus 7 (2013) review
We review Google’s new Nexus 7, it’s second foray into the 7-inch tablet market. Find out how the new tablet stacks up against Apple’s iPad Mini.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 (8-inch) review
Though the Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 is more expensive than other small Android tablets, it more than justifies its higher price with a beautiful display, great design, and wealth of features.
Smart Devices SmartQ U7 Review
We review the SmartDevice SmartQ U7, the first tablet we’ve ever used with a built-in projector. But can a projector make up for a steep price tag?
Hands-on: XO Tablet hopes to bring affordable computing to kids
The XO Tablet is an Android slate for kids with a low price and a high concept. The interface is designed to help kids explore their interests and combine education and fun in a way that isn't patronizing.
HP Slate 7 Review
For $170 you could buy the HP Slate 7, but it has drawbacks. You could spend $30 more and get a tablet that better balances cost and value.
Hands On: Samsung challenges the Surface Pro with Ativ Tab 3, ‘world’s thinnest tablet’
Touted as 'the world's thinnest tablet,' at 8.2mm thin, the Samsung Tab 3 is perfect for S Pen fans looking for a laptop-like tablet that can run full Win8.
Hands on: Samsung’s Ativ Q plays cupid with Android and Windows 8
Samsung has announced the Ativ Q, a convertible tablet/laptop, which uses both Android and Windows 8 operating systems. We got the chance to demo the machine at Samsung's London launch party.
Sony Xperia Tablet Z Review
Sony has had a rough go in the tablet market so far, but hopes to turn its fortunes around with the Xperia Tablet Z, one of the thinnest and lightest tablets we’ve ever used.
Hands on: $479 HP SlateBook x2 Tegra 4-powered Android tablet hybrid
The HP SlateBook x2 will be one of the first Tegra 4 Android tablets when it ships this summer, and it's shaping up to be a great tablet/notebook hybrid.
Razer Edge Pro Review
Razer’s Edge is the world’s first gaming tablet. Through black magic and dark pacts, the company has managed to stick an Intel Core processor and Nvidia graphics chip into a tablet barely larger than the Surface Pro. Does the impressive hardware lead to an awesome gaming experience, or is the Edge just an expensive novelty?
HP ElitePad 900 Review
The HP ElitePad 900 attempts to be all things to all people. Predictably, that effort comes up short, but the company has still managed to a land one-two combo of portability and quality few Windows tablets can match.
Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 Review
Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 Review | Samsung's eight-inch Android tablet reclaims the category it helped define from Apple's reigning iPad mini.
Barnes & Noble Nook HD+ Review
The Nook HD+ is for people who want a streamlined, easy-to-use tablet that has the content they want - apps and videos and games - and who want the best platform for digital magazines and books and comics.
Samsung ATIV Smart PC 700T Review
Samsung's ATIV Smart PC Pro 700T carries a significant price tag and justifies it with good performance, sturdy build, long battery life, and a nice stylus. It raises the bar for Windows 8 tablets, but it's not as if that bar was too high to start.
Sony Vaio Duo 11 Review
There are many visions of what the next generation of computers will look like. These ideas, currently known as convertibles or hybrids, attempt to blend the portability of tablets with the power of PCs. The Duo 11 is Sony’s attempt, but, like the Surface Pro, it was doomed before it left the drawing board.
Dell Latitude 10 Review
The Dell Latitude 10 is a capable Windows 8 tablet that's hindered by slow internal components and a design that isn't in balance.
Asus VivoTab Smart Review
You'll be able to do more with the Asus VivoTab Smart than with an iPad since it runs full Windows 8, but not speedily and not without some frustrations with the interface.
Dell XPS 10 Review
Dell's XPS 10 Tablet is a Windows RT mobile device that can evolve into a laptop, thanks to its keyboard dock. Dressed to the nines in a coat of black soft-touch paint, is the XPS 10 ready for work?
