We did not see that many tablets and 2-in-1s released lately, and our top 10 list for May is only slightly different than the one we posted last month. There are not many changes here, the Samsung Chromebook Pro will become available soon, through Amazon, and the Mi Pad 3 has been added to the list. That being said, there are still many quality offerings included here, so let’s get started, shall we.
10. Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2016)
The Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2016) is Samsung’s mid-range tablet offering for those that would like to own one of the company’s tablets, but are unwilling to break the bank for the Galaxy Tab S3. This tablet comes in a variant with the S Pen stylus, and without one, it’s up to you to choose which one you want. The tablet comes in 2GB / 3GB RAM variants, while it sports a 10.1-inch 1920 x 1200 display. The variant with the S Pen costs around $290, while you can get the one without it for even less than that.

The Google Pixel C is Google’s very own tablet offering, even though this tablet is made by HTC. The Pixel C features a 10.2-inch 2560 x 1800 display, 3GB of RAM and it is fueled by the NVIDIA Tegra X1 64-bit quad-core processor. This tablet is made out of metal, and has been around for quite some time now actually. You can get the Pixel C from Amazon for $639 if you’d like, which is not exactly an affordable price point, but if you’re looking for a tablet with stock Android on it, the Google Pixel C is the way to go.
