With so many different models and sizes, it can be difficult to choose the right tablet for you. Every tablet can serve a different purpose depending on your needs, so we've come up with a list of the pros and cons of each variation to help you make an informed decision.
What are the tablet sizes?
The size of a tablet will depend on the company that's behind it and the model you're getting. Some of the biggest companies that create these tablets are Apple, Samsung, Amazon, Microsoft and Lenovo. These companies offer multiple different sizes for their tablets, and most of them offer small, standard and large.
A small size is typically a tablet that is under 10 inches, a standard typically falls between 10 and 11 inches, and a large one is considered to be 12 inches or bigger.
With different sizes come different perks. It all depends on what you need your tablet for, so here are the pros and cons of every tablet size:

What are the best tablet options?
We've done the research and have chosen what we think are the best tablet models
An Apple iPad Pro 12.9" sixth-generation model. (Apple)
The Apple iPad Pro 12.9" sixth-generation model is an excellent tablet choice. It's faster and more capable than any other iPad model to date. It contains all-day battery life as well as a brilliantly clear screen display and a super high-end camera. It's also compatible with Apple Pencil, Magic Keyboard, and Smart Keyboard, which can make the tablet feel more like a laptop, so there are various ways to get the most use out of it. The only con to this product is that it's a bit on the heavier side, so it's not super easy to carry around with you as a smaller-sized tablet would be. However, if you'd rather the larger screen display, this is a great option for you.
