The 9 most sought-after tablets of 2014

This holiday season will see the sales of tablets soaring as most families are expected to buy the gadget as a gift.


Amazon Fire HD: The perfect budget device for those that want to browse and consume rather than get overly creative or productive. Amazon’s tablets are getting better every year and, at $99, even though you’ll be locked into Amazon’s smaller ecosystem of apps and services and the fact that the screen is just 6 high definition inches in size, the Fire HD 6 is hard to beat in terms of price and performance. 


The Nexus 9: This is the best Nexus tablet ever built which means it’s also one of the best Android tablets ever created. Its squarer screen makes it better than past devices for multitasking and for doing things other than watching films and the build quality and attention to detail are also a serious step up. It’s also incredibly fast thanks to a phenomenal processor. The only criticism is that there’s no SD card expansion slot.


New Lenovo YOGA Tablet 2 Pro: Developed with help from US actor Ashton Kutcher, the Lenovo is as focused on entertainment as much as working on the fly. It actually has a 'hang’ setting which means the device can be fixed to a wall like a small TV so that everyone can see the 1-inch QHD screen. What’s more it also has an integrated projector for creating a mini cinema. It’s also the world’s first tablet with an integrated subwoofer for better sound.



The Microsoft Surface Pro 3: It’s third time lucky for the Surface Pro. The latest version comes the closest yet to really combining all of the best elements of a notebook with those of a tablet. It’s phenomenally well made and can run desktop applications. The pen input brings an extra dimension to design and graphics work. But that flexibility comes at a premium – the entry-level model is over $700 and comes with some limitations, it can only run Windows apps


Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2: Like the Surface Pro 3, this huge 12-inch plus Samsung tablet takes productivity to another level thanks to all of that screen space. However, it’s an Android tablet so has access to pretty much every app out there as well as Samsung’s own growing ecosystem of apps and services. The only problem is build quality, it’s a bit plastic.



Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5: This device, available with an 8.4-inch or 10.5-inch screen, has one of the best displays found on any tablet made by any company and under that AMOLED screen everything else is equally high-specification. So much so that if it weren’t for the lack of attention to design and choice of construction materials, it really would give the iPad Air a run for its money.


The iPad Air 2: The original iPad Air, launched last year, was hands down the best full-sized tablet money could buy and the new model extends the gap between it and everything else even further. It has a reflective coating on its screen to make it easier to use outdoors and it also gets a biometric fingerprint sensor for extra security and for making online payments. And at 437g it is also one of the lightest and (6.1mm) thinnest tablets on the market as well as being ultra powerful

Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet: The only tablet here that’s waterproof, it is probably the best Android tablet that Sony has ever built. Despite a 10.1-inch screen and a pretty large bezel, it only weighs 426g. The company has paid as much attention to how it looks as to how it performs and so it feels like a quality product and one worth the price tag even if the display isn’t quite as impressive as those on Samsung or Apple tablets.


iPad Mini 3: Like its bigger brother, the iPad Mini is in a class of its own. If you are looking for a premium quality tablet where the only compromise is on size then there really isn’t anything on the market that can compete. It has a 64-bit processor, a great 7.9-inch Retina display and an integrated fingerprint scanner for extra security and online payments.
