One of the most important issues for many when choosing a tablet is the autonomy but, unfortunately, it is one of the most difficult sections to judge only from technical specifications or manufacturers' estimates, and it is best to always consult actual use test data comparable, what are we going to do today to see what they are? the tablets with the best battery of the moment. We present the top 10.
The importance and (difficulty) of knowing the real autonomy of each tablet
Indeed, a large capacity battery does not guarantee us having a great autonomy, because consumption is an equally important factor and it is difficult to make an accurate estimate based on the technical specifications. The problem with making a ranking like the one we present today is that we not only need actual use testsInstead, they need to be comparable, because variations in test conditions can greatly change the results (and therefore manufacturers' estimates are not always a good guide).
In this case, it has been chosen to simply measure the number of hours of Wi-Fi browsing that gives us a full charge until exhausted, perfect to avoid distortions of any kind, but we have to make a point before going directly to discover the top 10. and it is that although the database of laptopmag that we use covers practically all the big launches of recent times there are still a few gaps, of all of which probably the most notable is that of the Mi Pad 3, a tablet that despite being imported is enormously popular and which we would have liked to have referenced.
The top 10 tablets with the best battery and more autonomy
As you can see, the iPad Pro 10.5 took the crown in the ranking of the most powerful tablets, and it has been done with it again on the battery (with almost 14 hours), dethroning precisely its predecessor, the iPad Pro 9.7 (with almost 13 hours). It must be said that this data (which is a much easier comparison to find) has been confirmed by practically all the reviews we have seen, even if there are variations in the specific figures (that is why we said about the different measurement methods). It is interesting because Apple He did not put too much emphasis on this improvement in his presentation, limiting himself to affirming that he had managed to increase performance without sacrificing autonomy.
In addition to the clear leadership of the tablets of Apple It is striking that the third place goes to the Fire 8HD, which could seem undeserved because neither its screen nor its processor are as demanding as those of high-end tablets, but in reality it is something that you have to appreciate a lot from such a cheap tablet. It should also be noted that despite falling behind the iPad Pro, the Galaxy Tab S3 has improved greatly over its predecessor and remains, even despite its high resolution and Snapdragon 820, one of the best Android tablets. The MediaPad M3One of today's 8-inch queens, it doesn't disappoint either.
The autonomy of the new Windows tablets
The Windows tablets They are rarely among the standouts when it comes to autonomy, but with so many recent high-profile launches, we don't want to miss the opportunity to leave some data on them as well. At the moment we cannot say anything about the MateBook E, whose launch is still pending in our country, but we do have figures for some other high-end models.
Starting with the Surface Pro, the first reviews already confirmed that as promised Microsoft there had been a significant improvement in autonomy, although the figures they left us are lower than those they promised us. In the same Wi-Fi browsing test, the benchmark Windows tablet managed to stay alive for 7 hours and a half, which is an hour and a half more than what was achieved by the Surface Pro 4, but it is still lower than what a conventional tablet normally offers us.
It is, in any case, a much better result than that obtained in the same test by the Miix 720 (something less than 6 hours), which is closer to the performance of the previous model. Although it is not in this database, our autonomy test with the Galaxy Book 12 It was quite similar, so we are going to allow ourselves to take it as a reference to compare it with the others and it must be said that it does not go bad at all, because the tablet of Samsung resisted more than 7 hours continuous Wi-Fi browsing.
