The entry-level 10.2-inch iPad from 2021 should be your starting point for tablet shopping. This model lacks USB-C and still has the old-school home button, but it’s compatible with the Apple Pencil stylus (sold separately). The baseline iPad remains a great option for kids, families and anyone else who wants a best-in-class touchscreen and Apple’s full App Store and services support. Read our ninth-gen iPad review.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE is part of the latest lineup of Galaxy tablets, and while it’s not as powerful as the Ultra or the Plus, it is a lot cheaper. It’s 10.9 inches, runs a 2,304×1,440-resolution screen and has a powerful Exynos 1380 processor that’s going to handle most of the stuff you throw at it.
