Apple iPad mini (A17 Pro) vs Lenovo Legion Y700 2025 Gaming Tablet

The iPad mini (A17 Pro) is the better tablet for most people: iPadOS, a 3 nm A17 Pro chip, Apple Pencil Pro support and a 10-hour battery in a 10.3 oz body. The Legion Y700 2025 is the better pick for gaming and heavy Android use: a Snapdragon 8 Gen3, 12 or 16 GB of RAM, a 165Hz 8.8-inch LCD and a 6550mAh battery with 68W charging. Reviewers praise the iPad mini's size and build and its HDR screen; owners of the Y700 like the frame rates and cooling but note the Chinese-market software and the need to install Google apps yourself.

• Choose the iPad mini (A17 Pro) if you want a small tablet that runs iPadOS apps, works with Apple Pencil Pro and holds up for years of everyday use.
• Choose the Legion Y700 2025 if gaming is the main job and you want a high refresh rate screen, more RAM and faster charging on Android.
