Top 5 iPad Air 2 Alternatives [December, 2014]
Apple’s iPad Air 2 is one of the best full sized tablets on the market and a slate that consumers in the hunt should be looking at. That said, there are some top notch iPad Air 2 competitors that we think you need to rule out before buying Apple’s brand new iPad Air. Here, we take a look at the devices we think represent the top five iPad Air 2 alternatives for the month of December, 2014.
In October, Apple predictably refreshed its iPad lineup with two brand new tablets including an iPad mini 3 (third-gen) and a second-generation version of its larger 9.7-inch iPad Air. The new iPad Air sports an improved design including a thinner frame and a Touch ID fingerprint sensor embedded inside of the home button. It also comes with a better performance and a new gold color.
The iPad Air 2 is quite an investment, the base model runs $499, but consumers know that they’ll be getting one of, if not the best tablet that money can buy. We’ve spent a ton of time with the iPad Air 2 and we can say, without question, that it deserves a spot on your shopping list during the month of December. There are, however, some devices that we think you need to look at before buying Apple’s new tablet.
We are constantly bombarded with questions about iPad Air alternatives to look at. There are a number of different devices that we could recommend but we want to narrow things down a bit and take a look at what we consider the top five iPad Air 2 competitors available right now.

We feel like the devices listed here deliver the best, all-around package for this month and this month alone.
With that in mind, here are the five iPad Air 2 alternatives for December, 2014.
