The year is ending and it is time to look back and review the things that he has left us. Without a doubt, we can affirm that 2012 has been exceptional for the tablet sector and we hope that its great development will continue throughout 2013, about which we are already beginning to know a few things. We have prepared a ranking with which, in our subjective opinion, have been the best tablets of this year, all of them are excellent machines, but we have not only chosen them for their quality, we have also done it for your repercussion global and its influences in the sector. These are.
5 - Asus Transformer Infinity
The device Asus It arrived mid-year and since then it has become the greatest exponent of hybrid tablets. Despite the fact that later all the convertible teams with Windows 8 y RT, none has managed to match the prestige of this tablet from the Taiwanese brand. It is almost certain that during the next year some manufacturers will try again to reproduce the key to the success of Asus TransformerPad Infinity, since the first rumors about it are already coming, both by Samsungas the from the range Nexus. A good example, in addition, of its great repercussion is the fact of having its own low cost replica that we talk about here.
4 - Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1
It is true that this team did not represent any substantial improvement in terms of technical specifications within the sector. Its screen is modest compared to other tablets and its processor, although powerful, is not absolutely state-of-the-art either. Nevertheless, Samsung has made the Notes 10.1 is perhaps the most functional tablet and, unlike the Asus Transformer, has not needed to incorporate characteristic elements of other gadgets, such as the keyboard, but rather has features that are correlative to the concept of a tablet. El stylus and the great multitask of this device make work easier and productivity, maximizing its status as a tablet and opening possibilities for future developments.
3 - Google Nexus 10
Today, when it comes to tablets, there is no more powerful technology than that of the Nexus 10. Samsung y Google They were not speculative and it has offered the sector a true technological beast. For the moment its journey has been short, since, at least in Spain, the stock of 16GB model sold out within hours of going on sale and we are still waiting for it to be replenished. However, the team has shown what it is capable of and during the next year it will continue to demonstrate many more things, we are sure. As if that were not enough, his price it is well below that of most devices in its range.
2 - New iPad
Despite the fact that the trajectory of this device has been overshadowed by the launch of a new generation quite suddenly, the one known in its day as New iPad It has been the major player in the sector for most of this year. The data disclosed by Google at their Zeitgeist 2012 they confirm it. His great evolution was perhaps presenting the screen Retina that until the arrival of Nexus 10 It seemed of frankly unsurpassed quality. In addition, the team undoubtedly participated in the fascination that usually surrounds all the devices of Apple , until the arrival of his successor who seems to have left us somewhat colder.
1 - Google Nexus 7
We believe Nexus 7 it deserves this position in our ranking for the simple fact of having turned a difficult situation around and having opened the sector to new horizons. iPad and tablet were practically synonymous words before, but Google has known how to fight in hostile terrain with a small, cheap and extremely powerful team, both for its Tegra 3 4-core processor, and for its always updated operating system, thus leading the climb that tablets Android seem to be starring in the ecosystem of Apple . We are not the only ones who believe that Nexus 7 It is the tablet of the year (and perhaps the device of the year?), so they believed it too the T3 awards and the consumer, to date, seems to give his endorsement.
And to vosotros, which has it been the best tablet of this year 2012?
