A high-spec tablet for media, a budget tablet for reading or a decent all-rounder -- whatever your student needs going back to school, you can find it here.
The best tablet for: Battery life
Apple's iPad range, comprising of the iPad, iPad Air and iPad mini, are high-specification tablets ranging in width from 7.9 inches to 9.7 inches. Available with storage of up to 128GB, 1.2MP cameras and both wifi and cellular capabilities, these tablets are often seen in the hands of students. While the high price doesn't necessarily make an iPad suitable for younger children without supervision, for older kids, parents should consider Apple's offering as a hard-wearing option which will give them access to thousands of educational apps and iTunes U.
For a less pricey alternative, the iPad mini is the smaller version of the standard iPad, but still comes with Retina Display.
Price: $399 - $929, educational discount and gift cards available
