I didn’t consider myself a tablet person for a very long time. Sure, I briefly tried to use one to replace my laptop in college, but I quickly learned that it wasn’t quite a like-for-like trade. So, back to the shelf it went, waiting for the day I just wanted a larger form factor for entertainment. And, for a while, I ignored the scaled-up side of Android altogether.
Now, though, things are different. Android tablets are better than ever, and they come in all shapes and sizes, ranging from just larger than a foldable phone to nearly rivaling full-sized laptops. I’m still not sure how many of them I would trust as laptop replacements, but I’ve found that they fill so many more niches than they used to. Here are the best Android tablets that I think you should actually spend your money on.
