Top 7 Tablets for Micorosft Excel Spreadsheets in 2021
1. Apple iPad Pro
When it comes to buying a tablet you can’t ignore Apple’s iPad series. This Apple iPad Pro brings out a lot of exciting features which is very hard to ignore and it is perfectly suitable for not just using Mirocosoft’s Excel but also for personal purposes such as gaming, watching videos, etc.
The iPad Pro comes with 12.9-inches Liquid Retina Display which can deliver you an amazing movie and gaming experience like ever before. It is a very powerful device that comes with Apple’s own A12Z Bionic chip under the hood and you can expect it to perform any heavy game without any issues.
This chip is paired with 6GB RAM and 128GB NVMe storage. The storage option goes up to 1TB but it is going to cost you a lot than this model which I’m recommending i.e 128GB.
One of the most important things while taking a tablet/ laptop to the office is, its battery life and that’s where iPad Pro shines. Apple claims that it can last up to 10 hours and according to Jonnys, it does last for 10 hours which is extraordinary I would say.
Even though the iPad Pro is one of the best tablets for Excel, it is going to be expensive but I must assure you that you won’t regret it a bit after investing in this beautiful and powerful machine.

2. Samsung Galaxy Tab S6
If you have a slightly higher budget than $500, then Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 might be one of the best options for you. Let me tell you why.
This Samsung Tablet comes with a 10.5-inch Super AMOLED display which offers a great media experience without compromising anything. You are going to enjoy using Excel in this amazing display for sure. The tablet is very lightweight and portable at just 0.9 lbs (0.4 kg).
Samsung has offered 128GB as intel storage and 6GB RAM for doing any kind of multitasking. You can increase the storage via an external SD slot If you want to. The processor under the hood is Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 which can run not only Excel but also any kind of performance without any fuss. Samsung hasn’t compromised on anything in either storage or performance. Kudos to Samsung for that.
Samsung promises to offer 15 hours of long battery life with a single charge but it is safe to assume that it can last around 10-12 hours with moderate usage. Microsoft Excel doesn’t consume a lot of power or battery, hence you can expect 12 hours of battery life without any doubt.
In general, this is one of the best tablet for microsoft word and excel (or any other similar apps).
3. Fire HD 10 Tablet
Amazon’s new Fire HD 10 Tablet is one of the cheap and yet one of the best options for you If you have a limited budget i.e under $200. It offers amazing features and specs which is very hard to find at this price range.
The All-new Fire HD 10 Tablet comes with a 10.1-inch IPS display which is decent in its own terms. You can use Excel on this device in both indoor and outdoor conditions as it has decent viewing angles and color accuracy. You can easily travel with this tablet as it is very lightweight at only 0.6 lbs (0.27 kg) and you won’t need an extra bag to carry this lightweight device.
The storage you are getting on this tablet is either 32GB or 64GB with 2GB of RAM. You can opt for any one of them based on your budget. You can also add up to 512GB of storage by using an external SD card. Amazon has offered Mediatek Helio P60T 2.0 GHz Octa-Core Processor under the hood which performs quite well.
Amazon claims to offer 12 hours of battery life but in real-world usage, you can expect it to last up to 10 hours of battery life which is still very good in my opinion. Even if you take the tablet to the office or school, it can last a full day with a single charge.
Overall, this is one of the top tablets for Excel at very cheap and affordable pricing.

4. Lenovo Chromebook Duet
The Lenovo Chromebook Duet might not be a tablet instead it is a tablet-like Chromebook that provides great value for its pricing. If you are using excel only online, then you should definitely take a look at it or else you can skip this one and look for other good alternatives on this list.
The Lenovo Chromebook Duet comes with the same display as the above Fire HD Tablet i.e 10.1-inches and the build quality of this device is amazing considering its price range. The Chromebook also comes with a magnetic keyboard and back stand without charging anything extra money. This is again a slim and lightweight device that weighs only 1 lb (0.45 kg) and it is easy to carry around anywhere you want.
Lenovo has offered 64GB as storage with 4GB RAM which is adequate for most Excel users. The processor offered on this device is again the same as Fire HD i.e MediaTek Helio P60T Processor. The battery could last up to 8-9 hours with a full charge on this Lenovo Chromebook Duet which is outstanding I would say.
The Chromebook costs under $250 which is one of the major highlights of this device because only a handful of Chromebooks offer such great features as this Chromebook Duet. You’ll appreciate Lenovo for delivering such a great machine in this budget after using it for sure.
Here is the full video review which talks about Lenovo Chromebook Duet in detail.
5. Microsoft Surface Pro 7
The Surface Pro 7 is a premium tablet from the very own Microsoft. Using Microsoft’s Exel on this machine would be really fun. Though it is going to be expensive you’ll be getting a powerful and stunning tablet that is going to last for a long time.
Microsoft Surface Pro 7 comes with a 12.3-inch touchscreen display which is stunning to look at. For storage, you’ll be getting 128GB SSD and 8GB RAM. The processor inside this machine is Intel’s 10th Gen Core i5 Processor which is a very powerful chipset and can handle any kind of heavy task with ease. This is one of those tablets that run Microsoft office very smoothly and effortlessly.
Though Microsoft offers a keyboard and pen for this tablet, you’ll have to purchase them separately. That’s one of the key disadvantages of buying the Surace Pro. If spending $100 or so doesn’t matter to you much, I would highly recommend you get this tablet along with Keyboard and pen because that is going to help you while using MS Excel on this device.
The tablet weighs around 1.7 lbs (0.7 lbs) which is reasonably lightweight and portable in my opinion. The battery life is also decent at 8 hours which would last a full working day in the office.
At last I just want to let you know guys that this is seriously a very good tablet for Excel which you shouldn’t ignore.
6. Apple iPad mini
If you aren’t a fan of iPad Pro for any reason, then you should look at the smaller version of it i.e Apple iPad mini. This is a 5th Gen iPad mini which is compact, lightweight, and powerful at a very reasonable price of just under $400. Let’s talk about that in detail below.
The iPad mini has got 7.9-inches Retina Display which is amazing to look at. The screen resolution of the tablet i.e 1536 x 2048 pixels is great but the large bezels may look dated for many people (including me). The rear camera of the device is 8 MP while the front offers 7 MP and both take stunning pictures in any condition.
When it comes to storage, you’ll be getting 64GB along with 3GB of RAM. The processor offered on this device is Apple’s A12 Bionic which is one of the best in the market. It can handle anything you throw at it without any issues at all. Apple’s optimization on its operating system is unmatchable and you can experience that on this tablet too.
Just like most of the tablets on this list, the iPad mini also offers great battery life i.e 8 hours and I’m pretty sure it’ll last a full working day.

7. 2020 HP Pavilion x360
The last option which I have for you is the 2020 HP Pavilion x360. You can use this machine either as a tablet or a laptop depending on your situation. If you are kind of a person who wants to use both tablets and a laptop, then this one is a suitable option for you.
The 2020 HP Pavilion x360 gets a 14-inches touchscreen display with a resolution of 1366X 768 pixels. The screen has very minimal bezels at the top and sides of the laptop which makes it more attractive and eye-catching. You’ll surely enjoy editing your Excel files on this display for certain.
Lenovo has provided this laptop with 128GB storage combined with 8GB DDR4 memory. The processor you’ll be getting on this machine is Intel Core i3-1005G1 which might not seem like a powerful CPU but it is more than sufficient to run MS Excel, Word, or any other similar apps.
It is the only machine on this list that weighs over 1 kg. In fact, it weighs 1.58 kg (3.5 lbs) because it has a large display, heavy components, etc. If you aren’t bothered about weight and want a fast performing device, then you won’t have any issues with the weight of this laptop for sure.
The pricing of this HP laptop is quite reasonable at just a little over $500. Overall, I would say this is one of the best options for using Microsoft Excel.
