A

Which tablet computer should YOU be buying: They are this year's must have... and there's a style to suit everyone？

Best for young children

LeapPad Explorer 2, ￡68?

Aimed at children between three and nine (though a nine-year-old might find it a little simple), it comes in pink or blue and with five built-in education games (you can buy more). Besides, the LeapPad does not allow access to the internet — so it is impossible for your child to stumble across anything inappropriate.

Pros: The education games are well-designed, the built-in video camera is a fun way to play at being a film director.

Cons: Some of the games are shockingly expensive. And the power adaptor is not included.

Best for teenagers

iPad 4th generation, ￡399-￡659?

The iPad is still the market leader, and for good reason. If the teenager in your house enjoys playing computer games, the latest offering from Apple is the one to choose.

Pros: No other tablet can compete with the near one million ‘apps’ (the name Apple created for specially-designed downloadable programs) available for the iPad.?Simple to use, even for those who usually struggle with technology.

Cons: Considerably more expensive than most competitors.?
