Apple's base iPad reigns superior. This classic design uses the same A13 Bionic chip that powers the iPhone 11. It's the only iPad with a home button and an audio jack. The best addition is the 12-megapixel selfie camera. 📸: Apple wired.trib.al/ymGpMa4 2/9
If you want a more modern-looking tablet, Apple's 2020 iPad Air is a great option. It brings many of the same features from the iPad Pro, like slim bezels, no home button, USB-C for charging, & support for the latest Apple Pencil. 📸: Apple wired.trib.al/GbwfuZG 3/9
For $150, it's hard to beat the Amazon Fire HD 10, which is our favorite Fire Tablet. It has enough power for most tasks, even some light work. Snag the Productivity Bundle, which includes a Bluetooth keyboard and a year of Microsoft 365. 📸: Amazon wired.trib.al/vkYEhRP 4/9
Android users, this tablet is for you. The Samsung Tab S7+ has a quad-speaker setup and a 12.4-inch OLED screen with a 120-Hz refresh rate. It’s one of the best tablets for consuming media and playing games. 📸: Samsung wired.trib.al/2Xd7tWa 5/9
Looking for something more portable? The 8.3-inch iPad Mini is small and powerful. It has the latest A15 Bionic processor, slim borders, and Touch ID embedded inside the power button. 📸: Apple wired.trib.al/G9IvRw2 6/9
This tablet is kid-proof. The Fire HD 8 Kids Edition sits in the sweet spot of having a kid-friendly size and a wallet-friendly price. It comes with a durable case to protect the tablet and a two-year worry-free damage plan. 📸: Amazon wired.trib.al/CBIbeX1 7/9
Need a 2-1 tablet? The Surface Pro 8 is your best choice: It's powerful, has a large 13-inch screen, and has a 120-Hz refresh rate. The best part is the built-in kickstand, which lets you plop it down on almost any surface. 📸: Microsoft wired.trib.al/i63MWCB 8/9

Frank Herbert’s 1965 novel, @dunemovie is officially in theaters. Denis Villeneuve's Dune adaptation is the latest chapter in the complex history. Explore the impact of this prescient masterpiece. wired.trib.al/D7TBgqD #Duneweek #DuneMovie 1/8
WIRED spoke with the director to talk about splitting the Dune book into two films, updating the story for modern audiences, and how massive tentpole movies are “beasts.” Read the full interview. wired.trib.al/BhabL3N 2/8
Fans have waited 56 years for the kind of Dune adaptation Villeneuve has crafted. But as the movie notes in its final moments, it is “only the beginning.” Moviegoers will have to practice some patience as they wait for part 2 of the story. wired.trib.al/O1jIB7d 3/8

Apple’s October “Unleashed” event focused on all things Mac. If you didn't catch the event, here's everything Apple announced: wired.trib.al/vA692s4 1/7
Down with dongles. Apple went all-in with its MacBook Pro redesign, and one of the most exciting upgrades is the return of the ports. It also features slightly larger screen sizes, studio-quality mics and a six-speaker sound system, and much more. 2/7
These chipsets are what on-the-go creators have been waiting for. The M1 Pro and M1 Max are up to 70 percent faster than last year's M1, and graphics-wise, the M1 Pro is two times faster and the M1 Max is four times faster. 📸: Apple 3/7

Climate change is real, but unfortunately very few people know how it impacts our humanity. WIRED’s climate section provides insightful news and research as it relates to climate change. Here are a few articles to help get you started: wired.trib.al/GTeS5HE 1/9
The electrical grid is under pressure as climate change and the massive deployment of renewable power converge to push it to its breaking point. As solar and wind energy fluctuates, rethinking of how the grid operates is going to be essential. wired.trib.al/sdW65Rl 2/9
Cow burps are a bigger issue than anyone imagined. While it may seem harmless, their incessant belching loads the atmosphere with planet-warming methane. Scientists are working to figure out just how to stop it. wired.trib.al/RZrwOjp 3/9

Figuring out what to bring on a hiking trip can seem like a daunting task, but it's easier than you might think to stay dry, warm, hydrated, and safe. Here’s are a few must-haves from our Hiking 101 guide: wired.trib.al/qeZAIdG 1/7
One of the biggest beginner mistakes is to not bring water or food, even on short hikes. A Good Water Bottle is a must-have. Metal water bottles can be unnecessarily heavy for longer trips, so you can't go wrong with a classic Nalgene bottle wired.trib.al/6H9JpdW 2/7
You won't have any fun on a hike—of any length—if you have bloody blisters on your feet. For moderate temperatures, we prefer low-top, non-Gore-Tex mesh trail shoes, such as the Salomon X Ultra 3 wired.trib.al/k0263MR 3/7
