8. Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1

What's better than a tablet with a big screen? A tablet with a big screen, a quad core processor and the might of the S Pen... known as a stylus to me and you.

Well, not just a stylus - with many levels of pressure sensitivity and the ability easily sketch and annotate on a wide range of items, the Galaxy Note 10.1 offers so much more than your average tablet.

We're huge fans of this alternative choice here, and it even comes with a microSD slot to boot.

Quick verdict

Sure, it's a bit expensive, the screen quality is lower than we've seen from Samsung in the past and the build quality is somewhat lower than the competition. But this is still a fabulous tablet that many workers constantly forced to use a paper and pen will love to try out.
