While tablets in general aren’t doing so hot right now, the best Windows tablets are practically ruling the market. That’s because, after spending a handful of years with iPads and Android tablets, it’s become abundantly clear that the operating system is what truly makes or breaks a slate. With the rise of the Surface Pro and its increasingly extensive lineage, it’s also become evident that Windows 10 is the way to go when you’re on the go.
As such, the best Windows tablets have garnered quite the following in recent years. Though many of these could also be classified as 2-in-1 laptops, the best Windows tablets continue to thrive through portability and finesse. Best of all, you aren’t limited strictly to mobile applications when you’re using a Windows tablet. Instead, you’re graced with the history and flexibility of x86 and x64 programs available across the web in addition to apps acquired through the Windows Store.
With that in mind, deciding between the top Windows tablets can be futile without the proper background knowledge. That’s why we’ve gone ahead and done the research for you, constructing a list of the best Windows tablets based on extensive testing conducted for our reviews. Below you’ll find what we feel are the best Windows tablets 2018 has to offer. Each is unique in specs and style, but they all share one common trait: running Windows 10 on a touchscreen.
Despite the subdued naming convention, this is actually the fifth iteration of the Surface Pro. As a follow-up to the winning Surface Pro 4, it would have been every bit deserving of a number attached to it, too. That’s because the latest Surface Pro sees not only the battery life improve by as much as 32%, but, of course, the processor has been updated to Kaby Lake as well. Plus, although it’s now sold separately, the Surface Pen has 4,096 levels of pressure sensitivity.

The Acer Switch 3 arrives at a time when most of the best Windows tablets are premium 2-in-1 devices designed to oust both your PC and your tablet. But for anyone who doesn’t need the horsepower of a Surface Pro, the Acer Switch 3 is a wallet-friendly alternative. Even without cutting-edge specs, this tablet is highly competent in other ways. Its impeccable build quality, for example, is complemented by a top-notch active digitizer and pressure-sensitive pen.

The Samsung Galaxy TabPro S is a knockout 12-inch tablet that's thinner and better built than most Windows 10 slates. It also offers a uniquely vibrant Super AMOLED screen you won't find on any Windows device either, plus a pair of punchy speakers that actually sound good. Its keyboard feels a bit lackluster but if you get over this short coming, it's the perfect Windows 10 tablet to use while streaming media and games.

Originally positioned as a budget alternative to the Surface Pro, the HP Spectre x2 has effectively been rebranded to take Microsoft’s throne. In some ways, it succeeds. You can get an i7 processor, albeit a slower one, for a lower price. And, we believe most people won’t object to our contention that it looks better than the Surface Pro. What’s more, the Active Pen stylus and keyboard come with the HP Spectre x2, making it hard to resist despite its trackpad woes.

In a sense, the Lenovo Miix 510 is the Surface Pro alternative that you buy when you’re fed up with Microsoft’s reluctance to move forward with its connectivity practices. USB-C is here, and it’s brought USB 3.0 with it. While the screen is limited to 1080p, the Lenovo Miix 510 comes with an active stylus, a detachable AccuType keyboard and an articulating kickstand for flexibility without limits. While the battery suffers, the Lenovo Miix 510 is still a surefire win.
