<\/a><\/p>\nLet\u2019s be honest: when someone says \u201d\u02dctablet\u2019, the first thing you think of is the iPad.<\/p>\n
The iPad Air 2 is the latest tablet off the Apple production line<\/a>, and there\u2019s a strong case for it being the best tablet produced to date (in both the iPad range and in general).<\/p>\n The 9.7 inch screen boasts a 1080p HD resolution, making the iPad Air an exceptional movie-watching and picture-viewing device, while its 64 bit processor can run even the most demanding of apps with ease.<\/p>\n It also comes preloaded with iOS 8 and a TouchID sensor, which allows you to use Apple Pay as well as offering an extra level of security.<\/p>\n The only real downside is that it costs so much: \u00a3399 is a significant chunk of anyone\u2019s Christmas budget. Of course, you could always sell some electronics with musicMagpie<\/a> to help reduce the bill slightly!<\/p>\n Who should you buy it for? <\/b>Someone you love very much. A very lucky (and extremely careful) teenager. The Apple fanboy\/girl in your life.<\/p>\n Android has long been the Pepsi to iOS\u2019 Coca-Cola, but that is gradually changing. While the iPad Air 2 is arguably the best tablet on the market, Android devices are generally cheaper while offering a decent set of features.<\/p>\n Leading the way for Android this year is Google\u2019s Nexus 9. The Nexus 9 isn\u2019t necessarily the most feature-rich of tablets \u201d\u201c it does pretty much everything you\u2019d expect a tablet to do with no flashy extras \u201d\u201c but it does come preloaded with Android Lollipop, the latest version of Google\u2019s mobile OS.<\/p>\n While Lollipop will soon be rolled out to other Android devices, the Nexus 9 is undoubtedly the best way to experience it. The improved notifications, redesigned stock apps and performance makes this the best Android tablet experience to date.<\/p>\n If you want a fuss-free tablet that looks the part and performs exceptionally, the Nexus 9 could be the present to buy.<\/p>\n Who should you buy it for? <\/b>The Android fanatic in your life. Devout Apple haters.<\/p>\n Tesco, who are best known for selling groceries at reasonable prices, took the world by surprise when they released the Hudl last year; not only was it a tablet produced by a supermarket, but it was actually good too!<\/p>\n The success of the Hudl has prompted Tesco to release the even-better Hudl 2. The biggest change is the 8.9\u201d\u009d 1080p HD screen, which displays videos and pictures in near-crystal clarity.<\/p>\n At just \u00a3119 (and even less if you have some ClubCard points saved up), the Hudl 2 is a solid tablet that will suit anyone who just wants to watch videos and play games. With extensive parental controls, this is a decent first tablet for younger children too.<\/p>\n Who should you buy it for? <\/b>At that price, anyone. It\u2019s especially good for younger children, though.<\/p>\n
