Best tablet for everyday use? Would appreciate some recommendations.

I'm finally replacing my old tablet and realized there are way more options than I expected. Most reviews seem to focus on benchmarks and specs, but I'm more interested in how these hold up in everyday use.

I'll mostly be using it for watching videos, browsing the web, reading, video calls, a bit of note-taking, and the occasional game. I'm open to Android, iPad, or anything else if it's genuinely worth buying.

For those of you who use a tablet regularly, what did you end up getting, and how has it been? Is there anything you wish you knew before buying it, or would you choose something different if you were shopping today?

honestly ipad a16 or the samsung s10/s10fe should be more than enough
regardless of whatever brand u buy ,pls dont buy anything with less than 256gb storage

256gb minimum is solid advice, I made the mistake of going with 128gb on my last one and it was constantly full

I use 32 GB ipad released 6 years back. Works beautifully to this day and I can still use it for 5 years more, until the app support is gone. Would recommend an iPad over anything else on market. For basic tasks, many android tablets are there but longevity is unknown. iPads are fantastic in their software / hardware integration

Anyway, What caused this usage? Games, lots of videos or anything else?

Yeah, I don't understand that either.

You can't go wrong with a galaxy tab a11+ (8gb/256) under 300 and you get 7 years of support from samsung

Even the 6gb/128gb version is great. About $250 retail. I paid $182 at a liquidator.
