1. Apple iPad Air

In spite of the fact that Apple iPad Air was introduced last November it is still the best tablet for this summer. This tablet is Apple’s fifth generation of tablets computers, and they done almost incredible job with this device.

First of all, The Air was entirely redesigned in contrast to the iPad 4, predecessor of the newest Apple tablets generation. This tablet has the same design as the iPad Mini, with a good deal of thinner profile and stunning beveled edges. The most amazing thing about this device is a 9.7-inch Retina display, but, on the downside, the pixel density is only 264ppi.

Inside it has a 64-bit Apple A7 chip and M7 graphics processor, and as well a 5-MP rear camera and a FaceTime front camera. The Air has unbelievable 10-hours of battery life, and that mean you can surf the web, social network or watch videos and listening music all day long. It runs on iOS 7.

2. Nexus 7

First of all, let’s talk about price. You can buy two of Nexus 7 for just one Apple iPad Air. So the main reason why you should buy this device is price. You can get this device even under 150 euros, and for that good price you will get a quad-core processor with 2GB of RAM, so we don’t need to speak about how this small tablet is an supreme beast.

It has a quad-core 2.2GHz Snapdragon 800 processor with 2GB of RAM so all the Kindle lovers can breathe much more easily. There’s an 8.9-inch screen with a resolution of 2560×1600, and that means Fire HDX is probably has one of the best tablet screens at this moment. Biggest setback is the Amazon OS.
