There are countless tablets on the market, but which one is right for you? Whether you’re looking at an iPad or one of the many Android models available; We’ve rounded up some of the top-rated tablets we’ve tested for you. Here are the most rugged tablets of 2022…
A Look at the Most Rugged Tablets of 2022
Most Rugged Tablets
Apple iPad Air (2022)
Thanks to the addition of the M1, the iPad Air 2022 is almost on par with the iPad Pro. This doesn’t mean that Air can replace Pro, but it’s worth mentioning that some aspects are similar. That could make this relatively affordable new iPad Air more appealing than the iPad Pro for budget shoppers who want the best iPad their money can buy. Overall, the latest iPad Air is an almost perfect tablet. While there’s still some room for improvement, this sleek, strong slate is hard to put down. This is arguably the best tablet for most people.
Huawei MatePad Pro 12.6
Huawei is becoming an increasingly impressive force to be reckoned with in the tablet world, and the MatePad Pro is perhaps its best tablet to date. It’s a powerful and stylish tablet with the 10.8-inch screen and battery life you’d expect from a more expensive tablet. In fact, despite being almost half the price, the MatePad Pro rivals the powerful iPad Pro, meaning it’s a more affordable alternative, especially for people who want an Android tablet.
Apple iPad Mini (2021)
Take almost everything we know and love about the iPad Air, but shrink it down to a super easy one-handed size and weight, and you’ve got the iPad mini (2021) that might be the iPad you’ve been waiting for. The Mini has a Straight-edge design, much smaller bezels, and support for Apple Pencil 2, which has pretty much everything we love about an iPad. It also features the super-fast A 15 Bionic system-on-chip that outstrips the iPad Air and every non-Pro iPad. Its screen is also super bright (500+ brightness) and surprisingly good volume for such a small device.
Lenovo Tab P11 Pro
The highlight of the P11 Pro is undoubtedly its display, which is 11.5 inches 1600 x 2560 OLED with 263 pixels per inch and HDR10 support. So being big, sharp and OLED gives it an undisputed advantage over LCD rivals, including Apple’s entire iPad lineup. This screen is great for visual media, but it’s also great for audio thanks to four powerful speakers. And it also has a well-built metal finish that makes it look just as expensive as any other tablet. The Lenovo Tab P11 Pro supports both stylus and keyboard accessories, so it’s just as versatile as the iPad Pro series and Samsung Galaxy Tab S7.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra is the first tablet to cast a shadow over the iPad Pro. With its massive 14.6 inch OLED screen, this Android slate compares to the 12.9 inch iPad Pro; It makes the pro look cute. With the optional keyboard attachment and enhanced multi-window mode, the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra could potentially replace a laptop. Samsung is clearly targeting hybrid and homeworkers with the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra; because it offers dual front camera support for video calls up to 4K resolution and auto-framing to keep you in the frame when you’re on the go.
Samsung Galaxy Tab A7
Android fans finally have a real iPad rival at a much more affordable price point. Galaxy Tab A7 is a great 10.4 inch tablet for consuming content. Whether you’re browsing the web or streaming movies, it’s thinner than what you get with Apple’s iPad; You can focus more on your content thanks to its super thin bezels. It was also found to have endurance to last 13 hours and 13 minutes in battery tests. Also, this tablet has facial recognition to unlock the device.
Apple iPad 2021
9th Gen iPad looks like 8th Gen updates. A13 Bionic processor; With iPadOS 15 bringing more machine learning tricks like LiveText to the 2021 iPad; It provides the necessary increase in performance to ensure acceleration. The iPad’s display is still bright, colorful and just what it needs at this price point. Also, Apple makes it easier to use than third-party Bluetooth options; It sticks to the first-generation Pen and Smart Keyboard Folio for supported Apple-made accessories.
Microsoft Surface Go 2
The Surface Go 2 targets all the flaws of its predecessor and fixes them all. First of all, it’s likely a tablet to have thinner bezels; It provides a bigger screen, which is the most important part. The Surface Go 2 has a 10.5-inch display, compared to the 10-inch for the previous model. The biggest upgrade is 5 hours longer than the original Surface Go; That’s the Surface Go 2’s battery life of 11 hours and 39 minutes.
Apple iPad Pro 11
The 12.9-inch iPad Pro may have a better display, but the 11-inch iPad Pro is arguably better for more people. Battery life is great, and the tablet is lighter and fits better with last year’s Magic Keyboard. On top of that you get the staggering speed of the Apple M1 chip, which is perhaps too powerful for most tablet applications. This is a great feature for people who use demanding video and image editing applications.
