Big tablet: the different sizes
On average, tablets are between seven inches and ten inches in size. The screen diagonal is measured. The following applies here: one inch equals 2.54 centimeters. A 7-inch tablet has a diagonal of 17.8 centimeters. Whether you prefer a large or a small tablet is a matter of taste and depends on the intended use. If you use your tablet primarily to read the newspaper and watch films and like to have it with you at all times, you will prefer a more compact device – because larger tablets are always a bit heavier and less practical.
But if you prefer a larger area and, for example, work on your tablet professionally or need a tablet for drawing, a larger device could be interesting for you. XL tablets are available in different sizes: from 13-inch tablets to 14- and 15-inch devices to sizes that are more like a large computer monitor.

The largest iPad: iPad Pro 12.9 ”
When talking about tablets, of course, there is no way around the iPad. The devices from Apple convince with a high-resolution, brilliant display, the unmistakable Apple design and a very good operating system with regular updates. Of course, you have to dig a little deeper into your pockets with the Californian tech giant than with the competition – especially with the Pro range of iPads.
Exactly such a device – an iPad Pro * – must be used by all those who rely on Apple and want it to be as large as possible. The currently largest tablet is the iPad Pro with 12.9 inches. This corresponds to a screen diagonal of 32.77 centimeters – large enough to comfortably watch films or work on the tablet. A tablet pen is particularly suitable for drawing. These are available as Apple originals or as an inexpensive Apple Pencil alternative.

Apart from its size, the iPad Pro has a lot of impressive features. The Liquid Retina display with promotion and True Tone ensures a razor-sharp and high-contrast image, the Apple M1 chip enables a power that is already close to that of laptops. This is exactly where Apple seems to want to go with its new and future tablet generations: The tablet as a laptop replacement (or supplement). However, you have to buy an additional keyboard for this – which is also not very cheap. In addition, the latest generation of iPad Pro supports the Apple Pencil 2 – and is more of a work device for creative people than a pure tablet for media consumption.
