The top 2023 Big Tablets
The best tablets have historically served as a smartphone replacements with a larger screen. However, tablet screen sizes have expanded in lockstep with those of phones. This is a fantastic trend for those who work extensively on a tablet, such as students, or those who like something small, light, and with a large screen.
So that raises the question, who else produces large-screen tablets? Not all of them are 15 inches, but the tablets on the market now have more than enough screen real estate. The 12.9-inch iPad Pro is our selection for the finest large-screen tablet, but we also included devices from Samsung, Microsoft, and others in time for back-to-school season.
- Apple iPad Pro 12.9-inch 6th generation
Technical information on the Apple iPad Pro: Processor: Apple Silicon M2 | Storage: 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, 1TB, or 2TB | Biometrics: Face ID | Colors: Silver, space gray | Cameras: 12MP wide, 10MP ultrawide rear, and 12MP TrueDepth FaceTime front | Weight: 1.5 pounds | Dimensions: 11.04 x 8.46
Our top pick goes to Apple’s 2022 iPad Pro series since it is by far the most impressive and capable model we’ve seen. It’s also by far the most costly. On the surface, the design hasn’t changed much, but on the inside, Apple’s M2 CPU has 20 billion transistors, which is 25% more than the M1.
- Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra
Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra technical specifications: Display: 14.6-in Dynamic AMOLED, 120Hz | Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy | Storage: 256GB, 512GB, microSD up to 1TB.
The Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra from Samsung is, by far (pun intended), the tablet with the largest display on our list. With a 14.6-inch display, the Tab S9 Ultra provides enough of space for work and play. The box includes Samsung’s S Pen stylus, which may be used to sketch ideas or write notes, or it can be used to draw.
- Microsoft Surface Pro 8
Microsoft Surface Pro 8 technical specifications: Display: 13-inch PixelSense Flow display | Processor: Intel Core i5 or i7 | Storage: 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, 1TB | Memory: 8GB, 16GB, 32GB | Biometrics: Windows Hello | Colors: Platinum, graphite | Cameras: 5MP front-facing, 10MP rear-facing | Weight: 1.96 pounds | Dimensions: 11.3 x 8.2 x 0.37 inches | Connections: 2 USB-C Thunderbol.
- Lenovo Chromebook Duet 5

Finally, there is a tablet with a keyboard. Lenovo’s Chromebook Duet 5 is ideal for those who live and work within Google’s ecosystem of services and products. It’s a full-fledged ChromeOS device, but instead of a permanently attached keyboard, it’s a tablet that docks into the included keyboard.
When docked, it displays a typical Chromebook structure and interface. You can use all of your Chrome applications, surf web pages, and do other things. Android apps may also be installed straight from the Google Play Store. These are the same apps you can get for your phone, with some being adapted for tablets.
- Microsoft Surface Pro X
Microsoft Surface Pro X technical specifications: Display: 13-inch PixelSense display | Processor: Microsoft SQ 1 or SQ 2 | Storage: 128GB SSD | Memory: 8GB LPDDR4x | Cameras: 5.0MP front-facing weight of 1.7 pounds, dimensions of 11.3 x 8.2 x 0.28 inches, and connections of two USB-C, a Surface Connect connector, and a 10.0MP rear-facing autofocus camera with 1080p HD and 4K video.
The advantages of switching to an ARM CPU are visible in battery life and, at least in the case of the Pro X, the addition of an LTE connection. However, there are some drawbacks. One of them is that software must be rewritten to support ARM processors rather than the tried and reliable Intel or AMD CPUs used by Microsoft.
- Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE

The Tab S7 FE features a huge 12.4-inch display, a fast CPU, and a variety of storage and RAM choices. The smartphone, which comes in a variety of colors, also includes a 5G variant.
