In recent days we have done a fairly exhaustive review of the best tablets that the year has left us and, logically, we have had to limit ourselves to those that we can buy in our country. There have been, however, a few that could perfectly have passed the cut, but we do not have them here for sale at the moment, although we still have hope that they will arrive in 2018.
Fire HD 10
The tablets of Amazon They have enormous popularity and the truth is that it is difficult to understand why the 10-inch model has not been launched here too, especially since we know from the comments of our readers that there is a lot of interest in it. And it is not for less, because even if its price rose a little from 150 euros, with a Full HD screen, a 1,8 GHz quad-core processor and 32 GB of storage, the Fire HD 10 would quickly be among the 10-inch mid-range tablets most recommended.
The Lenovo Tab 4 10 Plus (without LTE)
At the beginning of the year, at the MWC in Barcelona, we met what would later turn out to be one of the best Android tablets of 2017, but we had to wait until relatively little for us to confirm that the Lenovo Tab 4 10 Plus It could be bought in Spain, and even so it arrived imported (and, therefore, more expensive) or in an LTE version with more storage capacity, which may be exactly what some were looking for, but which greatly restricts its potential market, if only because of the price increase.
Honor Waterplay Tab
Normally they would not make this list chinese tablets, because the reality is that even if they are not sold here, getting them does not usually have much difficulty, with a wide variety of trusted importers to turn to. Unfortunately, this is not the case with one of the most interesting ones that have seen the light in recent times, the Honor Waterplay Tab, which saw the light a few months ago with a very solid mid-range technical specifications but with a very unique cracker feature right now: water resistance.
Miix 520
In the case of the Miix 520, we are quite confident that, indeed, it is just a matter of having a little patience and that in 2018 we will be able to buy it, but the fact that it has already been put on sale in other markets has made us enter something impatience, because it is really a very interesting option for those who are looking for a Windows tablet with good performance, but willing to sacrifice certain high-end extras for a more reasonable price.
Galaxy Book 10.6 (or its successor)
In the case of the Galaxy Book 10.6 It seems that we have to get used to the idea of our only option would be to pay the considerable extra that it supposes to get it imported (and without a Spanish keyboard), because we cannot expect that Samsung I'm going to change my mind at this point, but at least being able to wish that its successor (which we hope will have it) will be launched here, especially considering that as the panorama is in the high-end Android, it could be the true rival of iPad Pro 2018.
2 Surface Book
Continuing with the 2 in 1 Windows, but at the other extreme, it is true that the public for a device of the price of the 2 Surface Book It is obviously limited, but it is still frustrating not being able to access what is undoubtedly the queen of the Surface range, and one of the most spectacular convertibles that we can aspire to achieve. As with the Galaxy Book 10.6, it will end up being possible to buy it here imported, paying extra and forgoing the "ñ", but we really would like you to Microsoft you will be encouraged to put it up for sale on your website as well.
Pixelbook
And, of course, we cannot end without also making a mention of another luxury convertible, too luxury according to some, considering that it is after all a Chromebook and we are used to them having more affordable prices: the Pixelbook which Google introduced alongside its latest smartphones this year instead of a successor to the Pixel C. It seems clear by now that Chrome OS is called to replace Android in the high-end range and we would like to be able to start having other options for Windows tablets and iPad Pro here, without having to wait for a second generation, as happened with the Pixels (thinking about all in which it probably wouldn't arrive until the end of 2018).
