Recent advancements mean that many of the best tablets for photo editing now boast similar power to a laptop, but with smaller screens and no keyboard as standard. This makes them cheaper and more agile – plus, you can use a stylus for intuitive editing.

Tablets can get expensive, of course, and different operating systems have different merits. Currently, my pick as the best tablet for photo editing is the iPad Air M2 (2024). For me, this tablet offers the best balance between performance and price. Plus, the version of Photoshop for iPad is far superior to its Android counterpart.
