Tablets have recently seen a resurgence in their popularity. Thanks to significant changes in the market, things are a lot more interesting and tablets are gaining a lot more value. The average person once viewed tablets as phones with larger screens. Now they offer a lot more. One of the things tablets offer as an advantage is a superior gaming experience. With a larger palette of games available to players, cloud services and gaming tablets are a great combination. However, not all tablets are equal, so we will explore the best gaming tablets in 2020.
#1 Microsoft Surface Pro
With a starting price of $679, the Microsoft Surface Pro offers a lot for its base model. It comes with a 12.3-inch screen at 1824 x 2736 pixels. With a 4GB RAM variant, you can bump up the specs for 8GB and 16GB. Just 2 years ago, this would have been insane to see from a tablet. The Surface Pro is not all specs though.
Running the Windows 10 Pro OS, the tablet is great for any regular computing tasks. This makes it possible to play full PC Games, and with an i7 variant, you can run competitive titles like Overwatch, CS: GO and League of Legends with at least 50 fps on low settings.
The signature keyboard attachment with Surface devices is also included, so you can use this tablet as a laptop.
#2 iPad Pro 11 (2018)
It’s rare to see a tablet that costs $900, but that’s the hefty tag on this beast. With a price that rivals entry-level gaming laptops, the 11-inch iPad Pro is a game changer thanks to its A12X Bionic chip. If you’re a fan of iOS gaming (which you should be thanks to Apple Arcade), the iPad Pro takes things up a notch with an HDR Retina Display, this means you’ll experience crispy true tone colors that bring games to life. The immersion from playing games on this device is unrivalled.
The Apple Pencil is also a part of the iPad experience, so any digital artists can enjoy creating with the iPad Pro. Not many tablets have a glorious 120Hz refresh rate, so things appear buttery smooth no matter what tasks you’re running.
#3 Samsung Galaxy Tab S6
Released in July 2019, the Galaxy Tab S6 is a great Android Tablet, and possibly the current best offering for Android devices. It comes with a 10.5-inch 1600 x 2560 pixels’ screen and a Snapdragon 855 processor. These specs are quite similar to the top Android phones, however, the screen on this device is still the best option for gaming. Android Gaming isn’t the best, but with services like Google Stadia, NVIDIA Shield and other cloud gaming services, the Galaxy Tab S6 is no slacker in delivering premium content.
With the Galaxy Tab S7 gearing up to be released pretty soon, it is rumored to come with a 120Hz display, so the Android Tablet market might finally be fully revived this year. Regardless, we’ll have to wait and see.
