After doing tons of research, watching endless review videos, and weighing in different specs
0:05
I found 6 tablets that I think are the absolute best in 2025. And if you find one you like, I'll leave links to all these tablets in the description below
0:13
First up we have the Samsung Galaxy A9 Plus, which is my pick for the best budget tablet
0:18
especially if you need something for the kids. Starting at around $170, it's affordable, so it can take a few hits without making you worry
0:26
Now that alone makes it a better choice than some of those ultra cheap Walmart tablets that have low pixel density and poor quality, making them nearly unusable
0:35
With the A9 Plus, you're getting a bright, crisp 11-inch, making it great for watching videos or playing games
0:42
One thing I really liked about this tablet is its variety. So if you opt for a kid's edition, it comes with a protective case with a stand and even a stylus shaped like a crayon
0:51
Plus, you can even add parental controls through Samsung Kids to make it even safer
0:55
It runs on a Qualcomm chipset with 4GB of RAM, and you can choose between 64 or 128GB of storage
1:02
which is also expandable with a microSD card. And while it's not built for heavy gaming or demanding apps
1:08
it handles YouTube, web browsing, and some light gaming without issues. As Mike put it, while it's not the top model in the lineup, it's perfect for managing daily tasks
1:18
Seamlessly browse the web, watch movies, shop, or use apps with ease
1:22
Plus, it's lightweight, so kids won't find it uncomfortable to hold for long periods
1:27
Charging is quick, and the battery is still large enough to power through a decent chunk of the day
1:31
And since it's an Android tablet, you're going to have a wide selection of apps for both education and entertainment
1:37
And also, finding accessories for the A9 Plus is pretty easy, so you're not locked into expensive brand-specific cases or styluses
1:45
So if you need an affordable, everyday tablet that's also safe for the kids and practical for casual use
1:51
then the Samsung Galaxy A9 Plus is going to be a great choice. Okay, now what if you want something built for serious gaming on the go
1:58
That's where the Asus Rogue Flow Z13 comes in. It's often called the laptop due to its weight thickness and high-end laptop-like specs
2:06
However, since its motherboard is directly attached to the screen rather than the keyboard
2:10
it's going to qualify as a true tablet that has a 13-inch screen. The Flow Z13 runs on an AMD Ryzen AI Max Plus 395 processor with 16 CPU cores and 40 GPU compute
2:24
units packed into a single chip. Now that's close enough to the performance of what you'd see with
2:29
a separate discrete GPU which is pretty insane for a tablet. Plus you're looking at a 2.5k 180
2:35
hertz nebula display so everything from Call of Duty to Cyberpunk will look buttery smooth. Now
2:42
you also getting a unified quad channel memory a slick CNC aluminum chassis and a decently sized 70 watt hour battery to keep you gaming longer than you expect And sure it not the lightest around at 1 kilograms
2:56
and it's roughly 12 millimeters thick, but the trade-off is worth it. You get full Windows 11
3:01
support so you can run PC games and productivity apps, or even connect an external GPU for even
3:07
more power. Now the stainless steel vapor chamber and the second gen ArcFlow fans keep
3:13
it surprisingly quiet for such a powerhouse. Though it does get warm after long gaming
3:18
sessions. Now if you prefer a more conventional Android gaming tablet, you can consider something
3:23
like the Red Magic but it doesn't pack the same raw punch as this one. So if you want
3:28
a triple A gaming on an ultra portable device, then the Rogue Flow Z13 2025 is your only choice
3:36
But if you're looking for a tablet that's not as beefy as the previous one, but you still
3:39
want something that provides a more refined and seamless window integration, then the
3:44
Surface Pro 11 is a top choice. This time, Microsoft ditched Intel and went all in on the Snapdragon X Elite 12-core CPU
3:53
and reports say it's more efficient while still delivering performance on par with many
3:57
Intel laptops. That means you get a slim, lightweight tablet that can handle Windows apps without lag
4:03
It has a new 13 inch OLED display that is super bright with deep blacks and colors that pop
4:10
Combined with Windows 11 Co-Pilot Plus features, you can also do tasks like noise cancellation
4:15
or background blurred during video calls with minimal fuss. Now the battery is also ramped up to around 14 hours of life, which is enough for a full
4:23
workday plus a few hours of Netflix. But the biggest selling point remains the fact that it's Windows
4:30
no half-baked mobile apps or cut down OS. You can run real desktop applications, connect up to three
4:37
4K external monitors via USB 4, and pair it with a Surface keyboard for a true laptop feel. Now the
4:43
built-in kickstand lets you prop it up at just about any angle. And just below that, if you look
4:49
closely, you'll get a backdoor to the removable SSD. And if you like to scribble notes or sketch
4:54
it also has the Surface Slim Pen support. Though the visible dots on the digitizer might be a minor
5:00
distraction if you notice them. One customer said, I recently purchased this tablet for my wife who
5:05
works in marketing and sales. Writing reports, generating Excel sheets, and yzing customer
5:11
data, I can confidently say this device is a game changer. So whether you're editing spreadsheets
5:16
coding in Visual Studio, or just taking notes, the Surface 11 stands alone as the best Windows
5:22
first tablet. The only downside, the Windows on ARM is still evolving, so not every app runs
5:28
natively yet Now coming to the best value for money category my personal pick is gonna be the OnePlus Pad 2 If you been eyeing the iPad Air M2 but can stomach Apple pricing the OnePlus Pad 2 is a good alternative
5:42
It's cheaper than the M2, plus you get a stylus in the box and an optional keyboard that's far more affordable than Apple's Magic Keyboard
5:50
Right away, it's got a 12.1-inch, 144Hz display, so scrolling through apps or playing games is going to feel super smooth
5:58
Under the hood is a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor paired with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, which is plenty of power for multitasking and
6:08
everyday use. The all-metal unibody design looks and feels premium, plus the battery can stretch
6:14
through a full day of moderate use, and it charges at up to 67W, which is crazy fast at this price
6:21
point. But where the OnePlus Pad 2 really shines is in entertainment and light productivity. If
6:27
watching Netflix or YouTube, the display is crisp. The speakers are loud and the brightness is solid
6:33
for daytime viewing. And if you need to get some work done, just attach the keyboard case and you've
6:38
basically got a mini laptop setup without spending a fortune. One user even mentioned, it's essentially
6:44
replaced my laptop for me as both speakers and screen are much better than the laptop. Everything
6:49
runs very smoothly and the battery life can typically last me for the full day if I run more
6:55
intensive programs and around three days of casual use. Even the stylus is decent for quick sketches
7:00
or marking up documents. One small caveat is if advanced pen features or top tier handwriting
7:07
recognition matter to you, the OnePlus Stylus is good, but not as refined as the S Pen or Apple
7:14
Pencil. But for everything else like performance, display quality, and affordability, the OnePlus
7:19
Pad 2 is a rock-solid pick that delivers near flagship specs without breaking the bank
7:25
Now let's talk about sheer cinematic brilliance. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra is going to be
7:30
the ultimate tablet for entertainment. With a massive 14.6 inch dynamic AMOLED 2x display
7:37
this tablet is perfect for everything from gaming to movies and even binge watching
7:42
The 2960x1848 resolution delivers rich colors, deep blacks, and a super smooth 120Hz refresh rate
7:50
So whether you're streaming 4K videos or scrolling through social media, it's all super smooth
7:56
As Steve put it, I've owned a smaller Samsung tablet every year for 3 years. This year, I moved
8:02
up to the big one. It is awesome. Anything you look at it is just absolutely beautiful
8:07
Despite its size, it remains fairly portable at 2.35 pounds. It comes with 12GB of RAM and storage
8:14
options of up to 256GB which is also thankfully expandable with a micro SD card Now it also comes with Samsung wireless DEX mode that turns into a desktop experience letting you multitask with multiple windows And if you into digital art then the S Pen offers low latency strokes for an
8:33
anti-reflective scream that keeps the glare down. It's also arguably the second
8:38
best tablet for artists, only trailing behind our best overall and raw creative
8:43
power. The built-in quad speakers tuned by AKG produce room-filling audio with a
8:48
a nice balance of clarity and base. And for battery life, you'll get up to 16 hours of video playback
8:54
which is more than enough for long trips or all-day use. And yes, it's going to be on the
8:59
pricier side, but you're paying for the best screen experience in a tablet. If you want a laptop
9:03
replacement for media, productivity, and casual creative work, then the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra is
9:10
pretty hard to beat. Finally, my best overall pick is going to be the iPad Pro M4. If you're an artist
9:16
videographer, or designer, this is going to be the ultimate creative tablet. Powered by the M4 chip
9:21
it delivers desktop-level experience in the world's thinnest 13-inch form factor. The Ultra
9:27
Retina XDR display is one of the best screens ever on a tablet, offering over a thousand nits
9:33
of sustained brightness, pro-grade color accuracy, and deep contrast. Whether you're editing 4K videos
9:40
creating digital art, or retouching high-resolution photos, the screen is designed to keep up with
9:45
your creativity. Pair that with the Apple Pencil Pro which has new hover gestures, a quick double
9:50
tap eraser switch, and a near-perfect pressure sensitivity and you've got the best stylus
9:55
experience out there. As Sandy put it, powerful iPad for any artist especially great with 3D
10:01
modeling apps like Nomad Sculpt and also Procreate or Procreate Dreams for any painter or animator
10:07
out there. Now battery can last all day usage which is no surprise thanks to Apple's efficient
10:12
and powerful M4 chip. Now the chip is also the reason why this iPad Pro has ranked number one
10:18
on Geekbench in terms of CPU and GPU power. Stage Manager in iPadOS lets you run windowed apps
10:25
making multitasking easier, though it's still not quite a full laptop replacement. That being said
10:31
if you work in Apple's ecosystem and use Procreate, Final Cut, or LumaVision, this tablet will
10:37
seamlessly handle even the most demanding creative tasks. The only drawback of course is going to be
10:42
the price. Once you add the Magic Keyboard and the Apple Pencil Pro, it costs as much as a high-end
10:49
MacBook. But if you need the best-in-class creative performance in a portable touch-friendly form
10:54
then the iPad M4 takes my number one overall spot for 2025. And that's all for today. I hope this
11:01
list helped you choose the best tablet for your needs. And if you find something you like, don't
