Google Nexus 10

Price: $400 (16GB)
Android conformists finally have the premier Google-powered tablet they’ve been anticipating for the last two years. Running on the Internet giant’s latest OS (Jelly Bean), the Nexus 10 shows the most potential as an iPad killer thanks to its high-powered processing, gorgeous design, and content-heavy selection. Its Exynos 5250 Cortex-A15 CPU pushes stellar benchmarks, the UI runs smooth, and battery life should hold up past 48 hours on moderate use. Apple just broke a sweat.
