With many tablet buyers opting for Apple iPads, the Android tablet market isn't in the best place, with fewer and fewer manufacturers even making them. But, that doesn't mean there aren't a few good Android tablets available that try their best to rival the iPad.
While some might question the sanity of a potential Android tablet buyer, a good one can fulfill a range of tasks for any professional or casual need and, in some cases, do things an iPad still can't, such as work with a touchpad or mouse. Plus, if you're already invested in Android apps, you won't have to buy them again for iOS. Whether you are looking for an inexpensive device for media consumption or a possible laptop substitution, there are options worth exploring.
