The Best Laptop and Tablet Gifts in 2025: Our Top Picks This Holiday Season

Apple dominates the tablet market, and the 11th-generation iPad is our top pick for gifting since it’s a great choice for most people and kids. Not only is it affordable, but it’s improved a lot over its predecessor, doubling the base storage to 128GB and adding a faster A16 chip. Sure, you’re not getting all the bells and whistles of the iPad Pro, but you’ll have everything you need for basic content creation, education and simple home office tasks.
