The iPad Mini 4 updates Apple's iPad Mini line and improves specifications and build quality. The Mini 4 is built on a 1.5GHz Apple A8 processor, and benchmark testing from our colleagues at Laptop Mag showed that its performance is in line with the best mainstream tablets.

In processing performance test Geekbench 3 and graphics test 3DMark, the Mini 4 had respective scores of 3,107 and 18,313 points. Both were on par with comparable home tablets, so you can play games and browse the web on the Mini 4 with ease.

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.

The Surface Pro 4 isn't without its unpolished edges, but from the inside and outside, it comes the closest of all the tablets we've seen to achieving the ideal balance between these two product families. Internally, the Surface Pro 4 benefits from its reliance on full-powered Intel Core processors.

While most tablets are built with mobile-optimized processors, the Core series has a high enough performance ceiling to accommodate business and power users. With its 2.4GHz Intel Core i5-6300U processor, the Pro 4 had respective scores of 6,811 and 60,424 points in benchmark programs Geekbench 3.
