The sneaky iPad 4 takes our tablet top spot almost by default. There are no cosmetic changes to swoon over but this is a seriously slick, turbo-charged version of our favourite slate, and all for the same price as the outgoing iPad 3.

Nov 6 2012 - Apple's recent revision of their flagship iPad device retains its best overall features including the retina display and improves the performance, battery life and FaceTime camera.

The Apple iPad was the highest scoring tablet overall in our test and the best for all-around use

Very large screen for its size; Very high resolution; Excellent screen and sound quality; Excellent camera/video; Very fast system speed; Consumer testers loved the design and feel; Consumer testers loved the camera functionality

Slightly heavy for its size; Few connectivity options

Very good, no doubt it's the best product. I will say all other ipad are nothing in front of apple ipad. very good service and product.

No further improvements to the camera or other design tweaks just yet

Breaking its very own sacred routine of releasing a new iPad model every year, Apple undeniably took everyone by surprise as they not only announced one new iPad, but two at its most recent San Francisco event.

Premium construction; Impressively detailed and accurate Retina Display; High caliber performance; Above average battery life

Not much of a serious upgrade to the iPad 3
