Editor's choice tablets: November 2011

The best tablets as chosen by the PC World editorial team.

If you want to buy a tablet in time for Christmas be sure to see what our expert reviewer's recommend with our editor's choice selections. These tablets are a rank of the top five tablets based on personal selection by the PC World Australia editorial team.

Our November editor's choice list is headed by the market leading Apple iPad 2, the current, undisputed king of tablets. The iPad 2 is closely followed by the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, which Apple unsuccessfully tried to ban for sale in Australia. It has just gone on sale through major retailers and on a contract plan through Vodafone.

A new entry into our editor's choice list is the Sony Tablet S. It may have arrived late, but we like it's distinctive design and the extra software it comes with.

4. Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android tablet

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is without a doubt the best Android tablet on the market. It's thinner and lighter than Apple's iPad 2, despite having a larger screen, and offers most of the functions and features of its competitors. ...
