A tablet can be a useful work companion for reading documents, replying to emails, joining Meet and Zoom calls, reviewing presentations and taking notes. With a keyboard and stylus, some models can also handle a fair amount of writing and document editing without requiring you to carry a laptop everywhere. Actually, the right choice depends on your workload. A large display and desktop-style multitasking can help if you regularly work across several apps, while a lighter tablet may be more convenient for meetings and travel. Here I’ve covered seven options from Apple, Lenovo, OnePlus, Xiaomi, Samsung and Redmi. They range from compact tablets for everyday tasks to larger models with powerful processors and productivity-focused accessories. Check the software, keyboard support and connectivity before deciding.
