Our selection of travel tablets

It’s that time of year again! Daytimes are longer, nights are shorter and most of us will be packing our bags for holiday destinations. While there, we might want to capture memories by taking photos, stay connected to family and friends at home or have something to hand to relax after a long day of sightseeing. We’ve put together a list of our favourite travel tablets with some useful insights, detailing the benefits of each option.

The handy E-reader – Lenovo Tab M8

A great choice if you’re looking for a lightweight tablet to access eBooks and the web. It’s 8″ form factor makes it ideal for holding with one hand and it’s IPS panel should give great viewing angles with vibrant colour regardless of how you hold it. It’s 8MP main camera should provide ample quality for snapping some quick pics or videos and it’s expandable micro-SD storage slot gives you a quick and easy way to store them. Unlike some cheaper e-readers, the Tab M8 runs a fully-fledged, stock Android 13 operating system, giving you access to all your favourite apps via the Google Play Store such as Amazon Kindle, Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+ and much more!

The All-Rounder – Samsung Galaxy Tab A8

Find out more about the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8

The Tab A8 performs well in a number of areas: it retains the 8MP main camera of the previous example and comes with a 5MP selfie camera, it has a better, faster processor than the Lenovo making the overall experience much more responsive, it has a bigger 10.5″ screen with higher resolution and 14% more pixels per inch resulting in sharper image quality and it comes with a bigger battery with faster charging speeds. There are a couple of different models with a couple of different storage options, namely 32GB or 64GB, although it has a micro-SD card slot to increase this further if you find you need to snap some extra selfies. It comes loaded with Android 11 but is upgradable to the latest major Android release, Android 14!

The Premium Experience – Apple iPad 9

Find out more about the Apple iPad 9

For those looking for the premium experience, the iPad 9 offers great value and security. It improves on the Samsung tablet in a number of ways, most notably its Retina IPS screen which has the most luminous, sharpest display among the three we’ve discussed. An increase of 24% in pixel density over the Samsung makes it stand out as the clear winner for movie buffs. It has a significantly better selfie camera, capable of capturing images at 12MP. Overall build quality is also improved, with a full aluminium frame and back cover, making it more resistant to bangs and drops. The faster A13 processor keeps the tablet interface moving and security is at its peak with Apple’s Touch ID which is integrated in to the home button. It comes equipped with 64GB of storage and is upgradable to the latest iPad iOS version, iPadOS 17.4.

When we first started, we wanted to help people with computers. We think we’re pretty good at it, as do you…

Broken Windows

Vince had a problem with his computer, it was struggling to boot up and he wanted a few things checking: “Phoned Creative to book in my PC and they took the PC in the same day. Everything ready next Day. GREAT WORK. The staff at Creative Computing are Excellent. THANKS 5 STAR SERVICE EVERYTIME.”

Paper jam

Ms MM had a paper jam in their printer. “I had a paper jam in my printer which I couldn’t just fix myself. I took it to Creative Computing and for a small fee they got all the paper out and I was able to collect it the same day. I’ve used them for many years both for purchases and repairs and have never had a bad experience. The staff are all helpful and very knowledgeable and I always feel I’m getting good unbiased advice.”

Upgraded MacBook Pro

Marianne brought their MacBook Pro in for an upgrade and wanted as seamless a job as possible. One of our Mac technicians cloned the data from the old drive onto a new SSD.

“We had a problem with our old Macbook Pro’s hard drive. The team at Creative Computing solved the issue thus ensuring we do not need to replace the laptop just yet. It’s so much faster now and all important “stuff” was saved.
We know nothing about technology so all our basic questions were handled with patience and good humour. We were never made to feel stupid.
We were impressed with the prompt service and would recommend Creative Computing unreservedly.”

New gaming PC

Ms McGuire let us know her son is very happy with his new gaming PC build!
