Some tablets in this size range have a battery life of 15 hours or more.
What’s Your Budget?
You can get a great 7- to 8-inch tablet starting at under $200. Tablets with larger display sizes cost more, of course. But very good 10-inch tablets are out there for about $350.

Refreshed in early 2018, the 9.7-inch iPad, which starts at $329, offers a good mix of features and performance, but some other tablets have things the iPads don’t, such as memory card slots. Most iPad models now support a stylus called the Apple Pencil, which is useful for creating digital art and taking “handwritten” notes.
