Build & service
86

Slim, well-made aluminium; no IP rating

Each part is rated on one scale for every tablet, from reviewers' measurements (battery tests, brightness, benchmarks) where they exist, what reviewers found, specs and owner reports, including after-sales service. It rates the tablet itself, not how good it is for the price.

Pros

  • Speed no Android tablet matches
  • Slim, well-made body that stays cool
  • Long software support likely
  • Flicker-free screen
  • Good keyboard and pen options
  • Thin and light
  • Strong M3 speed

Cons

  • Screen under 500 nits and only 60 Hz
  • Storage upgrades cost a lot
  • Android rivals last much longer on battery
  • No IP rating
  • Thin bass, only AAC/SBC Bluetooth
  • Keyboard and Pencil Pro are costly add-ons
  • No 120 Hz
  • NotebookcheckApr 2025

    A premium mid-range tablet with more power than any Android rival, but its screen is dim-ish and stuck at 60 Hz.

  • Tom's GuideMar 2025

    One of the best tablets you can buy, though M2 owners have no reason to switch.

  • TechRadarMar 2025

    Few changes but more power at the same price makes it strong value.
