The Apple iPad Air 4 touch tablet goes below €600 at Amazon, a drop of around 10% on the price usually seen. It is currently one of our best value for money.
With its new iPad Air 4, Apple offers a more than complete tablet. This model easily competes with what is found in Android competition, but also with another model of its own family, namely the 11-inch iPad Pro.

Judging by what this iPad Air 4 offers, what’s the point of getting an 11-inch iPad Pro? Unless you really rely on the second photo module, the LiDAR sensor and Face ID, the new iPad Air seems like a perfect match. It is lighter, just as powerful, and above all just as pleasant to use. We simply regret the absence of a 120 Hz refresh rate, but that’s nitpicking, because the 60 Hz of this panel is perfectly mastered. The iPad Air 2020 comes to correct all that we pointed out negative on that of last year. So much so that it is now reasonable to consider the iPad Air 4 as a replacement for your computer or an 11-inch iPad Pro.

Samsung’s last tablet to earn 5 stars was the Galaxy Tab S5e. A model still relevant, of which the Galaxy Tab S7 becomes the worthy heir. Despite the absence of an Oled panel, it ticks all the boxes of what we are entitled to expect from an Android tablet today. The 16:10 format on an 11-inch panel is as pleasant for transport as for handling or for working as if it were a computer. Its high-end processor, its large battery and its more than correct photo part allow it to pose as one of the best Android tablets, or even one of the best tablets altogether.
