We all know someone who really has their life together and gets themselves anything they want. This can make picking a holiday gift for them particularly nightmarish. Many of us at Marie Claire encounter the same problem every year, and after putting our heads together, we reckon that the best port of call here is to buy a gift that’s practical and multifunctional. One that, if they don’t want to use it for entertainment, they can use for work or life admin instead. Yes, we’re talking about a tablet.
Tablets make wonderful gifts. This is because, no matter who you buy it for, they’re likely to get a lot of use out of it. From video calling friends and scrolling through Christmas recipes, to editing photographs and using the stylus to jot down to-do lists, tablets have so many functions that they adapt to the interests of whoever owns them. And the best part? They tend to be a good bit cheaper than laptops.
Not sure where to even start looking? Don’t worry, as TCL has blessed us with a brand-new range of high-speed and high-quality tablets this year. Here are our top picks from TCL’s tablet range:
TCL TAB 10s 5G
Perfect for your favorite movie buff, the TCL TAB 10s 5G has speedy, lag-free connection which sets you up for hours of streaming films or live TV, totally buffer-free. Its innovative NXTVISION display technology also ensures everything you’re watching comes up crystal clear on the 10.1” FHD screen, all the while looking after your eyes with their eye care modes to relieve fatigue.
TCL TABMAX 10.4
What better way to show you care than giving the gift of better health? The TCL TABMAX 10.4 uses TCL’s NXTVISION technology to filter out blue light, which has been shown to increase eye strain and disrupt sleep. That’s not the only way TCL is looking out for you with this tablet though. The TCL TABMAX 10.4 also has facial recognition, making sure anyone borrowing the tablet has to ask the owner first! With all of this cool tech, it wouldn’t be remiss to wonder where the catch is. We’ve looked into it and, with a 10.4” FHD+ screen and massive battery, plus an octa-core processor, we couldn’t find one.
TCL NXTPAPER 10s
If you’re after a tablet that’s easy to carry, can double up as a work tool and has a decent screen for reading, then the TCL NXTPAPER 10s is your fighter. With a paper-like display that reduces blue light, the TCL NXTPAPER 10s is a perfect companion to anyone who can spend hours lost in a book and is trying to look out for their eye health. Because it’s super thin, it can be easily transported anywhere, and its sizeable battery means you don’t have to worry about it running out of juice. Creatives will love it for its intuitive stylus that really leans into that romanticized journal feeling, so any notes or ideas that present themselves can be jotted down or sketched out, quickly and easily.
