    The versatility of the Windows 11 OS means that it can be used without any issues both on desktop PCs, laptops, tablets, and possibly even phones.

    Even though at this moment in time Windows 11 doesn’t come pre-installed on any type of device mentioned above, there are plenty of options that will support this OS as soon as it is released in its full form.

    If you still haven’t found out what the big differences between Windows 11 and Windows 10 are it is safe to say that the new version looks a lot better.

    From the looks of it, Windows 11 will also be far more user-friendly with touch-enabled devices like tablets, so in today’s guide, we will discuss this topic further.

    We’ve made a selection of some of the best deals on Windows 11 tablets on the market, and then tested and compared each of them.

    How we chose the best Windows 11 tablets?

    Our team of expert testers has used the 15 years combined experience to first analyze the market for the best possible tablets that are capable of running Windows 11 without issues, and then performed analysis and tests on each of the devices individually.

    As a top 5 list for any device wouldn’t be completed without comparing devices amongst themselves, the second stage of the analysis process included exactly that.

    The full results of these tests will be presented to you in this guide, so make sure to read it entirely to make an informed decision about investing in a Windows 11 capable tablet.

    Tip Editorial tip:

    To simplify things even further, it would help to know what elements were considered by our team of experts while making the choices you will see in the list below.

    Here are some of the most important aspects that were considered:

    ➡ Processor capability
    ➡ TPM chip
    ➡ Amount of RAM
    ➡ Display quality
    ➡ Graphics processing unit power
    ➡ Hard-drive storage
    ➡ Design

    Considering all the aspects mentioned above will ensure that all of the tablets chosen for this list will offer you a great experience, even though some will be better than others overall.

    What to consider when choosing the best Windows 11 tablets

    Processor capability

    Because nobody wants to barely run Windows 11 on their device, the processor is one of the most important elements to consider when choosing a PC in general, no matter if it’s a desktop, laptop, or tablet device.

    The list of products that we created offers you CPU options situated on the entire range of the price spectrum, but we also ensured that the cheapest options are also capable of smooth operations without lagging.

    As this is the most important aspect of a new PC capable of running Windows 11, we started our list by presenting the products that use the best tablet CPU on the market at this point, then we explore the medium-range options, and finishing with some state of the art devices when it comes to design.

    TPM chip

    The TPM chip capability of your tablet is another incredibly important element, as Microsoft doesn’t allow any devices without this chip to run their new OS.

    Even though that might seem to be a curious decision, they chose to enforce this rule as TPM offers your device an unprecedented amount of safety when it comes to Windows-based devices.

    No matter what your opinion about this decision is, or how radical it seems, we can all agree that boosting Windows 11 capability to deal with threats is an element that we’ve been waiting for since the previous versions of the OS.

    That being said, all the devices presented in this list have been tried and tested to ensure that the TPM chip works optimally, and has absolutely no issue in offering improved system security.

    Amount of RAM

    The amount of RAM might not be as important as the first two elements described here, but for your device to run Windows 11 optimally, you will need to have at least 4GB available.

    Of course, having more RAM will not negatively impact your experience. It will actually improve your system’s capability to run a big number of applications simultaneously.

    When it comes to this component, the phrase the more the better applies perfectly, but devices with much more RAM tend to be more expensive, so choosing the right option for you is important.

    Display quality

    Even though this might seem obvious, the quality of the display on your tablet is another important factor to consider when choosing a good tablet.

    Quality doesn’t only mean the crispness of the image (even though that is important as well), but also the

    Graphics processing unit power

    No matter if you plan on playing games on your tablet or running image processing software, a good GPU is always a good investment.

    A good GPU also comes in extremely handy if you want to create art on your tablet, want to edit video footage, or create music from the comfort of your own home.

    Even though Windows 11 doesn’t require a specific GPU type or processing power, this component is worth noting especially when investing in a new device, as the investment would be far better suited to be used for the next couple of years.

    Hard-drive storage

    As in the case of any PC, no matter if it’s the latest gaming PC, a work laptop, or simply a tablet that you use for exploring the web and instant messaging, having a good amount of hard drive space can make a huge difference.

    Windows 11 doesn’t require much space to be installed, so the HDD or SSD space will not be affected that much, but it will affect your capability to store information in the long term.

    As you can see from the graph presented above, it is preferable to have an SSD installed instead of an HDD, as the latter is more than 2 times slower when it comes to OS booting times. The same speed rapport applies in other important areas as well, including data processing and data transfer.

    Even though user’s needs vary greatly in this department, it is always better to have more space than you require.

    Another valid option would be to invest in a tablet without that much amount of HDD or SSD space and then buy an external SSD to store your files. That being said, this option doesn’t prove very functional considering that you’re investing in a tablet, so it is an element worth considering.

    Design

    Even though the design of your Windows 11 tablet doesn’t come into play when it comes to its capability to run Windows 11, it is still an important element.

    As the market has lately seen a wide variety of designs for tablets and other PCs alike, choosing one that fits your needs and also provides the type of functionality you need is your choice to make.

    Even though most tablets consist of a touch-enabled screen without any keyboard, as you will see, some laptops that can be used as a tablet, keyboards that can be attached, and even folding touchscreen tablets without any keyboard.

    We compiled this list to include most of the variations, thus allowing you to choose the right fit for you, no matter if you want to try the latest design or want a simple tablet.

    The great-looking device is powered by an i5-8265U CPU, which, even though not the most powerful from our list, is good enough to run the new OS, and most applications.
