No one likes to wait for a sluggish tablet to load a Web site, and no one likes to spend more than necessary. Choosing a tablet that has a powerful processor but remains affordable is a great way to get the most for your money when shopping for a tablet. In our hands-on tests of three popular Android tablets, we found that the Intel Atom processor-powered Dell Venue 7 provided the best Web browsing experience for the price. It loaded pages quickly, delivered strong performance, and cost less than the other tablets we tested. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 cost more than the Intel Atom processor-based tablet, had half the storage space, and provided a markedly worse Web browsing experience. And while the Google Nexus 7 provided a similar Web browsing experience and the same amount of storage as the Intel Atom processor-based Dell Venue 7, it cost over 50 percent more. With the dual-core Intel Atom processor-based Dell Venue 7, you can get a better Web browsing experience for your money than with the other tablets we tested.
