The tablet landscape is changing rapidly. It’s now relatively trivial to find a cheap, full-featured Windows slate, and we’ve seen a number of smaller models that still manage to pack plenty of power. In light of those shifts, our tablet buyer’s guide looks very different this winter. Dell and Nokia are on the list for the first time, and Windows tablets sit shoulder-to-shoulder with their mobile OS rivals. We’ve even brought back an older Nook that’s received a new lease on life thanks to updated software and a significant price cut. Whether you’re looking for a productivity machine or just something to watch movies on, we’ve got a tablet that should fit the bill.
