Tablets are ideal for kids, travelers, and professionals - it just depends on which one you buy.

The best tablet for most people is Apple's 2018 9.7-inch iPad, but we've also included a number of other excellent tablets that are best for different uses.

When I was a kid, and our family went on a long car ride, my parents would keep us entertained by making us play games like I Spy, Don't Hit Your Brother, and Who Can Stay Quietest the Longest. These days, though, kids are just as likely to have a tablet screen in the backseat, watching movies or playing games while wearing headphones.

.....

If you already own a laptop and a smartphone - and you don't have the need to entertain kids in the backseat - you may wonder whether you also need a tablet. Depending on how you use your current pieces of tech and based on what else you'd like to do, a tablet can be a great addition.

We've picked the best tablets you can buy in several different categories, including ones that are best for kids, professionals, and travelers. We've tested all but one of these tablets personally, so you can trust our recommendations. If you need more guidance before you choose, read the last slide for everything you should know about buying a tablet. Here are the best tablets you can buy:

Best tablet overall: Apple 2018 9.7-inch iPad

Best Android tablets: Huawei MediaPad 8.4- and 10.8-inch tablets

Best tablet with a stylus: Samsung Galaxy Tab S4

Best affordable tablet: Amazon Fire HD 8

Best iPad Pro: Apple iPad Pro 2018 11- and 12.9-inch models

When we moved into our present home, in 2002, I thought we had a nice, quiet, mature neighborhood. Never saw any kids playing in their yards or the street like when I was a kid in the 60s.

Then, in 2004 we had a hurricane and power was off for a week.

There were kids everywhere! All out in the streets, playing, running around, just like back then.

Then the power came back and the kids disappeared.......................

I finally broke down and bought a big Samsung. I have a smartphone, a laptop and a desk PC.

My grandson sure enjoys my new tablet.
