Sony Xperia Tablet Z.
You're going to need some entertainment on your flight to Monte Carlo, but what tablet is going to match the sleek interior of your private jet? The plastic-backed Nexus 7 isn't going to draw any fond looks and nobody will look twice at that glossy Galaxy Note 10.1. Cast your eyes instead over the Sony Xperia Tablet Z.
This 10-inch slate boasts an incredibly slim design, with the sort of stark, minimalist aesthetic that will earn you some jealous looks in the business class lounge at the airport. Like its little brother, the Xperia Z smart phone, it's fully waterproof, so it won't mind when you spill your Martini all over it.
It packs a quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM and has a Full HD screen. It's available now for £400, for which you'll get a Wi-Fi only model with 16GB of storage. £450 will snag you a 32GB model, while £500 gets you a 16GB model with 4G connectivity for super-fast data downloads.
With its super-thin design and sleek looks, the Xperia Tablet Z is arguably the most attractive Android slate around. If your main goal is to own tech that you can flash around a fancy bar then look no further.
It's also one of very few devices that you can fully submerge in water. Ever wanted to watch Scrubs in the bath but were scared about dropping your iPad in the water? The Tablet Z will be right up your street. Even if watching TV shows in the bath altogether doesn't float your boat, rest assured that spilling a pint on your slate will do it no harm -- just rinse it off and you're done.
While its Full HD screen and quad-core processor are not to be sneezed at, its rivals do have it beaten. Google's Nexus 10 packs vastly more pixels, and its dual-core processor achieved more impressive benchmark results.
If you want to win specification Top Trumps, the Nexus 10 will help give you a winning hand. If however you're after a seriously sexy slate you can share a shower with, the Xperia Tablet Z is a superb option.
