8 best Windows tablets 2025

The Windows operating system is ideal for study, creativity, work and other tasks. However, for a long time, users were almost always tied to one workplace. Even laptops, despite their portability, are not well suited for permanent portability. Fortunately, advances in technology have made it possible to house hardware powerful enough to run Microsoft's operating system in compact tablet computers. Our rating of the best Windows tablets in which we have selected the 8 most popular models in various price categories will help you choose an excellent device of this class for your individual tasks.

The best low-cost Windows tablets

The budget segment of devices based on Windows is ideal for students and schoolchildren. These users usually build high-performance PCs when they need a lot of power for modern games, rendering or other demanding tasks. But reading educational materials, editing text documents and creating quick notes is quite possible on inexpensive devices. They can also be preferred when choosing a multifunctional navigator for a car or the first device for a child who is just starting to master modern technologies.

1. Prestigio MultiPad Visconte V PMP1012TE

The rating is opened by the Prestigio MultiPad Visconte model. The cost of this device is 140 $... For this amount, the user receives an Intel Atom Z3735F processor with 4 cores at 1.33 GHz, Bay Trail graphics, 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of built-in storage (you can add another 64 gigabytes with a microSD card). Buyers choose this budget tablet for watching movies and working with documents. For the latter, a good keyboard is provided in the kit. However, we must take into account that we have a budget device, so it cannot become a worthy replacement for a laptop. For example, in user reviews, the MultiPad Visconte tablet is criticized for the impossibility of changing the tilt angle and an extremely inconvenient touchpad. Also, the device does not please with good optimization, which negatively affected the performance.

Advantages:

• two full-size USB ports;

2. Irbis TW48

On the next line in the TOP is an inexpensive and high-quality tablet with 3G from Irbis. The TW48 model is equipped with Intel's Atom Z3735G processor, 4 cores of which operate at 1330 MHz, 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage. The latter can be expanded with an SD card, but their maximum supported capacity is also only 32 gigabytes. An optional docking station with keyboard can be purchased for Irbis TW48. Such a purchase will be advisable if you often have to type text and / or edit documents.

Advantages:

• reasoned cost;
• system performance;
• attractive appearance;
• SIM tray and 3G support;

Best Windows tablets: value for money

The performance of the budget models presented above is not enough for you, but are you not ready to spend a lot of money on flagship tablet computers? Then, especially for you, we have selected three excellent devices that can boast the best ratio of cost, functionality and reliability. These devices are suitable for a wide range of customers, including students, office workers, service workers, and so on. Due to the detachable keyboard, which every model in the list has, the presented tablet computers are also great as an alternative to regular laptops.

1. Acer Switch One 10 Z8300 32GB + HDD 500GB

The category opens with an interesting device Acer Switch One 10 Z8300. If you have not yet decided which tablet to choose for watching movies, working with documents and surfing the Internet, then consider this option. It comes with a quality keyboard. At the same time, the tablet itself has only 32 GB of ROM, but when the docking station is connected, the built-in storage expands by 500 GB due to the HDD built into the keyboard unit.

The hardware platform of the Acer tablet computer is not the most impressive: Atom x5 Z8300, Cherry Trail graphics and 2 gigabytes of RAM. The 10 "matrix with WXGA resolution is also too modest by modern standards. The same applies to a pair of 2 MP cameras, comparable in quality to the budget review tablets presented above. Of course, these shortcomings could be forgiven for the inherent advantages of the device, but not with a price tag of 266 $.

Advantages:

• comfortable keyboard;
• capacious drive in the docking station;
• good processor;
• stylish design;
• good set of interfaces.

Disadvantages:

• high price;
• not the best screen;
• mediocre cameras.

2.Lenovo Miix 320 10 4GB 64GB WiFi Win10 Home

One of the most interesting tablets in terms of price-quality ratio in the ranking is the Miix 320 10 from the Chinese manufacturer Lenovo. It has 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of ROM, an Intel Atom x5 processor (4 x 1.44 GHz), an integrated video chip, 2 and 5 MP cameras, and loud stereo speakers. The display in this unit is 10.1 ”and the resolution is Full HD. The Miix 320 10 comes complete with a good keyboard, which allows you to use the device as an alternative to a classic laptop. According to reviews, the tablet from Lenovo has a number of disadvantages, such as a plastic case and a rather slow system operation even in undemanding tasks, but it is just perfect for the Internet and reading books.

Advantages:

• attractive appearance;
• convenient complete keyboard;
• good quality of the matrix;
• selected hardware platform;
• small size and weight;
• good stereo speakers.

Disadvantages:

• the body is made of plastic;
• hangs under heavy load;
• trial version of MS Office for only a month.

3. Huawei Matebook 128GB

In the first place in this category is a good and inexpensive Windows 10 transformable tablet made by the Chinese brand Huawei. A high-quality model with a laconic name Matebook pleases with an excellent design and good "stuffing". Among other things, there is an Intel Core M3 6Y30 processor, which has 2 cores at 900 MHz. This is not enough for demanding tasks, but in the office mode, which the device is primarily aimed at, the power of this chipset is quite enough. The Huawei Matebook has 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of built-in storage.

In addition, the tablet with a beautiful bright 12 ”screen (Quad HD, 216 ppi) boasts high-quality sound and a comfortable backlit QWERTY keyboard that comes with the device. All this is complemented by a durable metal body, support for a stylus (purchased separately), as well as a fast fingerprint scanner and a 4430 mAh battery, which provides an impressive 9 hours of battery life with continuous video playback.

Advantages:

• attractive appearance;
• comfortable cover keyboard with backlit keys;
• fast operation of the operating system;
• durable metal body;
• operation of the fingerprint scanner;
• dimensions and weight;
• the quality of the 12-inch screen;
• good autonomy.

Disadvantages:

• there is no automatic screen rotation.

The best Windows tablets in the premium segment

The cost of top-end compact devices is not only comparable to full-fledged mid-range laptops, but also often at the level of gaming “machines”. At the same time, such devices cannot boast of a performance suitable for running heavy games. However, users choose premium tablets for these tasks at all. Mainly devices of this class are used by businessmen and creative people. For this reason, they require excellent performance when working with office applications, as well as high pixel density and good battery life.

1. DELL Latitude 11 256GB 4G

One of the most powerful Windows tablets in the premium segment is offered by DELL. The Latitude 11 is powered by the Skylake Core M5 processor with a pair of 1100 MHz cores. The amount of RAM in this unit is an impressive 8 GB. There is also plenty of built-in storage in the device: 256 gigabytes with the possibility of additional expansion with memory cards. Thanks to the installed hardware, the DELL tablet is ideal for working with documents.

DELL Latitude 11 is equipped with a 10.1-inch matrix with Full HD resolution. This is sufficient for comfortable work, but, alas, not the most impressive indicator in the review. In addition, a good tablet with 4G boasts a good set of interfaces, including two USB ports (Type-A and Type-C), micro HDMI and a combined 3.5 mm headset jack. The only drawback of this device is the high cost of a proprietary docking station, without which the device is not so convenient for office tasks.

Advantages:

• attractive appearance;
• fast work of the system;
• good Full HD matrix;
• presence of a SIM card tray;
• a good set of connectors;
• high quality workmanship;
• the volume of the built-in storage;
• the amount of RAM;
• battery life.

Disadvantages:

• expensive accessories;
• great weight for its size.

2. Microsoft Surface Pro 5 i5 4GB 128GB

Reviewing the best Windows tablets, you cannot ignore the devices from Microsoft. One of the best devices created by the company, users and experts consider the Surface Pro 5. This device is equipped with an Intel Core i5 7300U processor (2 cores 2.6 GHz), belonging to the Kaby Lake family. RAM and ROM in this unit are 4 and 128 GB, respectively. The latter can be expanded with microSD cards, but I would like to see more RAM in the model from Microsoft.

But what does not cause a single criticism in the tablet is the screen. The 12.3-inch matrix with a resolution of 2736x1824 pixels pleases with high brightness and extremely accurate color reproduction, which is especially important for artists. Equally positive is the stereo speakers, which let you ditch the headphones while watching videos. By the way, in case of continuous playback, the device will be able to work on a single charge for 13.5 hours.

The tablet with a large screen made by Microsoft could not get to the first place due to several objective flaws. So, taking into account the average cost in 770–840 $ in the kit I would like to see a keyboard or stylus, which are offered separately. Also, in the new product of 2017, the lack of a USB-C connector is surprising, which manufacturers add to more budget devices.

Advantages:

• build quality of the device;
• excellent screen calibration;
• powerful hardware platform;
• good autonomy;
• loud stereo speakers;
• thoughtful passive cooling;
• durable metal body;
• branded stylus and keyboard (optional).

Disadvantages:

• modest interface set;
• modest equipment (for its price);
• I would like to see more RAM.

3.ASUS Transformer 3 T305CA 4GB 128GB

The first line according to the unanimous decision of our editors went to the Transformer 3 T305CA model from the ASUS brand.

Moreover, it is the only one among all premium class devices that is supplied immediately with a keyboard, and does not require buying it separately.

Among other advantages of one of the best Windows tablets for office tasks, there are excellent cameras. The 13 MP main module takes excellent photos in daylight, and also provides a minimum noise level at dusk with proper manual adjustment. The front 5-megapixel camera will also not disappoint users who regularly communicate via video.

In terms of "stuffing" a good model of the premium ASUS tablet is perfect for working with documents, drawing, photo editing and other similar tasks. It has a Core M3 7Y30 processor from the Kaby Lake family from Intel. It has 2 1GHz cores and decent integrated graphics. This reliable tablet with a good camera has 4 GB of RAM, which is enough for comfortable work in Windows 10.

The Transformer 3 T305CA screen deserves special attention. Its diagonal is 12.6 inches, and the resolution is 2880x1920 pixels. Such a matrix is ​​great for artists, but thanks to the high-quality built-in stereo speakers, the device will also be appreciated by moviegoers.
