What makes the best Apple Tablets?

There are lots of things that you’ll need to consider when you’re trying to find the best Apple Tablets for your personal circumstance. One person’s best Tablets is another person’s worst. But the tips below should be used to help you when shopping for the perfect Apple Tablets.

Read lots of reviews

Reviews are your number 1 asset when you’re shopping for a product online that you’re unable to physically get hold of before buying. Think of a review as an alternative to actually trialling a product. You can probably think of several occasions where a friend or relative has mentioned how good a product is and you’ve gone on to buy it. Use reviews in a similar fashion, so good or bad, take the overall feedback of a product as a solid bit of advice. For example you’ll see that APPLE 9.7″ iPad has scored 10/10 from the 338 at Currys PC World which is one of the reasons it has topped the chart for us and made it as our top Apple Tablets.

Check Prices

Shopping around is of course a very important step to ensuring you get a good deal and the best possible Apple Tablets for your money. Especially with a product that can vary so much in price. To give you an idea of the variation, the cheapest product we found in the Tablets category was £44.97 and the most expensive of the 195 products was £1469, although the average was £495.28. Another thing worth looking at, is specifically looking at the price of products from Apple. The cheapest we found was £8, the most expensive £4899 and the average came in at £618.91.

Stick to the top shops

There are tons of different retailers that sell Apple Tablets, but being such a popular product you can see why there are people out there trying to capitalise on the opportunity to grab your money and run. One of the most important pieces of advice we can offer you is PLEASE only shop at retailers that you know. You’ll often find there are really good deals to be had with the major retailers anyway. In fact our top rated Apple Tablets, APPLE 9.7″ iPad was available at Currys PC World for just £319 in our last price scan.

Factor in the delivery cost

This point is kind of a combined point about creating a budget for yourself. As you’ve seen above there is a massive variance in price from the cheapest to most expensive Apple Tablets, so we strongly recommend you take the time to set yourself a budget. That way you won’t find yourself spending a lot more than you can afford.

So the second part of the point is an important one, if you’re shopping and buying online, make sure you factor in any delivery costs when you’re setting yourself a budget. Whilst it’s likely to be a minimal cost it is still worthwhile having in mind.

Warranty

Our final point is for you to take the time to read up on the warranty period that you’ll be covered by when you shop for your Apple Tablets. You might find that the retailer like Currys PC World provides (or offers for an additional cost) a warranty for your product. You’ll also likely find that Apple cover it too.
