Apple iPad (A16)
Why we picked this
Best Overall: The strongest all-round option for smooth everyday use, long-term software support, and access to a broad tablet app ecosystem. It is substantially more capable and versatile than the Fire HD 8 without the size and cost of a premium large-screen tablet. Cellular calling and texting require a mobile-data version or an iPhone.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE Plus
Why we picked this
Premium Pick: The best choice for a large display, multitasking, expandable storage, and included S Pen support. It offers a more spacious experience than the iPad and Fire tablet, particularly for documents, media, and handwritten notes. The Wi-Fi version needs a phone or internet calling app for calls and texts.
