The size of a tablet will depend on the company that's behind it and the model you're getting. Some of the biggest companies that create these tablets are Apple, Samsung, Amazon, Microsoft and Lenovo. These companies offer multiple different sizes for their tablets, and most of them offer small, standard and large.

A small size is typically a tablet that is under 10 inches, a standard typically falls between 10 and 11 inches, and a large one is considered to be 12 inches or bigger.

With different sizes come different perks. It all depends on what you need your tablet for, so here are the pros and cons of every tablet size:

We've done the research and have chosen what we think are the best tablet models

The Apple iPad Pro 12.9" sixth-generation model is an excellent tablet choice. It's faster and more capable than any other iPad model to date. It contains all-day battery life as well as a brilliantly clear screen display and a super high-end camera. It's also compatible with Apple Pencil, Magic Keyboard, and Smart Keyboard, which can make the tablet feel more like a laptop, so there are various ways to get the most use out of it. The only con to this product is that it's a bit on the heavier side, so it's not super easy to carry around with you as a smaller-sized tablet would be. However, if you'd rather the larger screen display, this is a great option for you.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra is another great choice for those looking for a larger-sized tablet. This model is a whopping 14.6" and gives the user plenty of room to work on their assignments. It comes with an ultra-wide camera and a long-lasting battery and is compatible with the S pen for those who want to draw and write notes. It also has a WiFi speed that is three times faster than previous Samsung tablet models.

The Amazon Fire 7 tablet is a great pick for those who would rather have something in a smaller size. At 7", it's super easy to transport and has a battery life that lasts up to 10 hours. It has apps for all kinds of social media and streaming apps, and it even comes with the Alexa feature so that you can make lists, set reminders, and more. Since it's smaller in size, it's also smaller in price, so this is also an economically great option. And one of the best parts is that it's being sold at an amazing price for only $59.99.
