Tablets are an attractive prospect for older users, and it\u2019s easy to see why. Displays are bigger than phones, they are great for travelling and easily pack enough power for tasks without needing to rely on a cumbersome laptop or desktop.<\/p>\n

In 2022, slates will come in a wide variety of screen sizes and price points. So whether you\u2019re on the hunt for a new tablet, or are currently looking to buy a device as a gift for a friend or relative, there will definitely be a model for you.<\/p>\n

The big temptation is to stick with Apple \u2013 thanks to the relative safety of the iOS App Store and general ease-of-use of its software \u2013 and we broadly agree this is a great choice for most older (or all!) users, although it is not the only option.<\/p>\n

There are some models from Amazon, Samsung and Lenovo that are also worthy of your consideration. While they may lack the sheen and premium feel of Apple\u2019s line-up, they are typically more affordable and provide more customisation.<\/p>\n
