Though the battery life is excellent, the Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 suffers somewhat in the weight category. At 1.44 pounds, this is one of the heaviest tablets on the market.

That's likely thanks to the extra juice used to keep it running for so long. For reference, the Apple iPad Pro weighs 1.6 pounds – pretty close to the Yoga Tab 3.

The Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 primary strength is its battery life. With over 15 hours of battery life, it is the longest-lasting tablet in our review.

If you travel frequently or don't like charging your tablet every day, then you should consider the Yoga Tab 3. Few things are as frustrating as electronic devices with no battery left and a long way to go before the next outlet.

While the Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 10 might not be the best tablet we reviewed, it is among the most affordable. The low-resolution display and heavy weight are frustrating, but the outstanding battery life can make up for that in the right situations.

In addition, the Yoga Tab 3's design makes it stand out – it isn't just another oversized black rectangle.

At over 15 hours, the battery life for this tablet is outstanding. The display's relatively low resolution leaves much to be desired.

The Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 is a solid tablet that aesthetically stands out among all of the black rectangles on the market. However, its display isn't the best, and it runs a slightly outdated version of Android.

The Apple iPad Pro was also a strong performer in Laptop Mag's battery testing, in which a tablet loops through webpages until it powers down. With a mark of 10 hours and 53 minutes, the 9.7-inch Pro was in line with the average nine-hour mark for mainstream tablets.

Considering that the Pro is more power intensive than standard tablets, its battery life is especially impressive. For home users, the 9.7-inch Pro's physical appearance is familiar. With dimensions of 9.4 x 6.6 x 0.24 inches and a weight of 0.96 pounds, it's virtually identical to the iPad Air 2.

With the age of Apple's iPad series, the 9.7-inch Pro's place in the company's hierarchy is mostly clear. From the inside and outside, it improves on its predecessor's shortcomings thanks to a focus on performance and specifications.

With its top-in-class processor and stellar build quality, the Apple iPad Pro earns its mark as the best tablet on the market, and it is equally capable of handling the needs of home and business users.

Appropriately, these marks place the Pro's performance ceiling closer to standard laptops than mainstream tablets. For enterprise or business users, the Apple iPad Pro is fast enough for tasks like multimedia editing.

Home applications like gaming are similarly easy for the Pro. You can purchase the optional Apple Pencil stylus with the Pro to make tasks like writing notes and drawing easier. The 9.7-inch Pro has the same 2048 x 1536-pixel resolution of past iPads, but it benefits from hardware improvements like ambient light color correction and an improved brightness mark of 432 nits.

The Apple iPad Pro A9X processor is fast and performed excellently in benchmark testing. Apple only offers the Smart Keyboard cover as a separate accessory for the iPad.

As a de facto iPad Air 3, the 9.7-inch iPad Pro features stellar build quality and specifications and is a great fit for business and home users alike. For better or worse, the first generation iPad Pro was defined by its sheer bigness. The tablet computer was much bigger than you'd expect for a non-enterprise tablet, and with a 12.7-inch frame, it looked comically large when used like a standard tablet computer.

Apple has designed the Smart Keyboard and Pencil to be replaced instead of repaired. Was anyone expecting different? They're Apple, they can do it because Apple fanboys will still buy their products anyway.

According to iFixit, the Apple iPad Pro is nearly impossible to fix. The teardown experts have now concluded that the iPad Pro's accessories – the Apple Smart Keyboard and Apple Pencil – suffer the same fate. The Apple Smart Keyboard and Apple Pencil have been designed in a way that prevents people from opening them.

In addition, Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 performance ceiling is notably modest for a non-entry level tablet. During our testing with performance test Geekbench 3 and graphics test 3DMark Ice Storm Unlimited, the tablet had respective scores of 1,123 and 4,602 points.

In practice, the Yoga Tab 3 will be able to handle basic gaming and web browsing well, but its abilities are modest compared to top tablets.
