Editor's pickthe one to beat for this slot
Apple iPad mini
My tablet pick: Apple iPad mini, rated 3 out of 3 (true best in slot).
1/2
A true best in slot. There is no real alternative to this, and I don't think anyone could make a better version in the relative near future.
Why it's here
By Emiliano · Revised Sep 2026The iPad mini in Space Gray is the tablet I can still hold for an hour. Reading, a show, a note I don't want on the phone. I refuse to buy it a keyboard so it can pretend to be a laptop. Larger iPads are better computers and worse books. I wanted the small one, and it lives off the desk more than on it. That's what the mini is for. Everything else in the category keeps trying to become a computer.
