Exceptionally impressive tablets have been rated highly by Warentest.
Title: Apple's Ace in the Game: Stiftung Warentest Ranks iPad as Value Champion among Tablets
Say goodbye to your old tablet, mate! Stiftung Warentest, the renowned testing organization, scrutinizes 21 latest tablets on the market, and guess what? Three out of the top four performers are none other than Apple's iPads. Surprisingly, even a budget iPad takes home the crown for the most bang for your buck!
First Place: iPad Air
In the number one spot is the iPad Air with a spacious 13-inch screen and M3 chip. It earned a quality rating of 1.7, averaging around 908 euros. This bad boy excels in computing and graphics performance, has an excellent screen, and offers good battery and handling. However, its endurance just manages to scrape by as satisfactory.
Second Place: Lenovo Yoga Tab Plus
The Lenovo Yoga Tab Plus is hot on the heels of the iPad Air, snagging second place with an overall score of 1.8. With its very good endurance and top-notch performance in all other categories, this tablet is a beast, but it'll also squeeze 795 euros out of your wallet. On the bright side, Lenovo tosses in a keyboard and stylus to sweeten the deal.
Third Place Pack
Four tablets share the third spot, each with a quality rating of 1.9. The smaller iPad Air (668 euros) rocks an impressive 11-inch display and is nearly identical to its larger sibling. The only difference lies in its battery, which provides only satisfactory runtime, making it a bit easier to handle.
Value King: iPad
Budget-wise, the iPad Mini with A17 chip (576 euros) and the Lenovo Legion Tab Gen. 3 (554 euros) are strong contenders, with their performance, handling, and endurance scoring consistently well. However, the iPad Mini's performance is slightly behind, but it aces in the handling department. In contrast, the Lenovo offers versatility too.
But brace yourself, because the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra (approximately 1069 euros) charges a fortune for satisfactory battery performance and good ratings. For that kind of coin, you'd expect more!
Score a Bargain with Apple
In stark contrast, Apple's value-for-money winner, the iPad with A16 chip (average of 390 euros), is a steal! This tablet may lack the premium features of the latest Pro models, but it packs a solid punch with good ratings in functions, display, endurance, and handling. Plus, it's super versatile, scoring satisfactorily in that area. So, if you're looking for a wallet-friendly tablet without compromising on performance, Apple's the way to go!
