Which?, the UK consumer association, found that the three best tablets when it comes to web browsing on battery power alone are all made by Apple. 

Under the organisation's controlled testing conditions, the latest full-size Apple tablet, the iPad Air, managed 658 minutes of constant browsing before its battery gave up — a whole 124 minutes more than the Tesco Hudl, the best-performing Android tablet in the same tests.
