    iPad Air at least for the power or the mini 5.
    Android tablets are pitiful compared to iPads really,
    I am an apple fan but I’ve had several android tablets and I’ve always hoped they’d step up their game but honestly they’re woeful.
    Barely any updates for them long term and poorly optimised.

    Android does not get updates for anywhere near as long as Apple that's true.

    What is also true is that except for the premium end of Android tablets like the Samsung S series, Android tablets get very poor cpus (and in the past low amounts of ram) which mean that they are soon out-dated. Most people are not willing to spend what it takes to buy a good one so end up with a poor experience - they expect to get a cpu that is in their phone for half the money on a tablet....

    With the new chromebook tablets (which will also run android apps) like the Lenovo duet the update issue will not be a problem as they will get updates for 6.5 years.

    But it's still a little under-powered cpu wise.

    Apple make their own cpus so they can afford to put decent ones in their ipads as they don't have to buy them in at a higher cost.

    Finally iOS gets a fair bit of tablet-specific designed software whereas android gets pretty much none meaning that it can be a poor experience.

    My leonovo tablet stopped getting updates after 2/3 years, still going strong as I only use it to view something I'm buying etc,PC is gone and though I've a large mi note 10 ,still need a big screen

    the base ipad 10.2 inch 2019 is the best value ipad and will run PUBG fine

    although some say that an ~8 inch tablet like the mini is the best size for tablet gaming

    the mini has a more powerful cpu (A12 vs A10) but is more expensive.
