Best Windows 10 Tablet Windows Central 2020

There are many Windows 10 tablets on the market, and it can be hard to sort through all the rubbish, especially if you rely on it to work from home. But we love Windows, and we love tablets, and we want you to be using the best you possibly can be. Here are our picks for the best Windows 10 tablets you can buy, with the Surface Pro X being our pick for overall best.

Best Overall Windows 10 Tablet: Surface Pro X

The Surface Pro X is everything we've ever wanted out of a Windows 10 tablet. Rocking a custom-built Microsoft SQ1 ARM processor on the inside, this is a device that has LTE built-in, and instantly wakes when you tap the power button, just like a tablet should. It has a huge 13-inch display with a screen resolution of 2880x1920 for crisp and clear image quality. It has super thin bezels along the sides, and a slim 7.3mm chassis with a built-in kickstand too. Ports include two USB-C and one Surface Connect port for fast charging. It also has an upgradable SSD, so if you ever need to swap out your drive for a new one, you can do just that without having to break open the entire device to do so. Battery life is pretty good, with usage lasting around seven to eight hours on a single charge. Thanks to the ARM processor, when you put it to sleep, it consumers little to no battery. So it should get you through a day just fine. You can get the Surface Pro X configured with either 8GB or 16GB of RAM, and 128GB, 256GB, or 512GB of storage out of the box. Just like any other Surface Pro, it also has an optional pen and keyboard accessories, with support for wireless charging the pen inside the keyboard cover itself. This is our pick for the best Windows 10 tablet as it's the closest thing to a real tablet, something that we think can rival the iPad in form factor and functionality. Pros Instant wake

Good battery life

LTE built-in

Super thin and light Cons Not the most powerful

No headphone jack

Best Windows 10 Tablet for Power: Surface Pro 7

Featuring an incredible 2736x1842 3:2 display, 10th gen Intel Core i3, i5 or i7 processors, up to 16GB RAM, and a 512GB SSD, you can't go wrong with the Surface Pro 7 for photo editing and more. It's a sturdier alternative to the Surface Go, with a larger 12-inch screen and beefier internal specifications. This is the tablet for those that don't just browse social media and check email. It can be obscenely powerful if you configure it to be as such. Even on the entry-level model, you should be able to get by with medium to heavy multitasking, a few light edits in Photoshop, and home video editing at 1080p. It's considerably more expensive than the Surface Go. Just like the Surface Go, it also doesn't come with the Type Cover bundled at that price. Considering the size of the display, you're going to want to buy the Type Cover to take advantage of everything the Surface Pro 6 has to offer. Battery life on the Surface Pro 7 can depend on the tasks you're doing. It should get you through a workday with no problem; however, thanks to the 10th gen Intel processors that are much more battery efficient in routine tasks. It also finally has a USB-C port, meaning you can charge either with Microsoft's proprietary Surface Connect port or through USB-C. It also supports fast charging too! Pros CPU is substantially more powerful
