Just look at all those wires. Obviously some deep, in-depth testing just happened.

Much thought goes into evaluating the quality of a given tablet here at CNET. From the way it feels in your hands, to the speed in which you can access your favorite Web site, to the framerates you can expect when playing games, in the end, all the pieces matter. And while it's difficult to empirically evaluate the feel of a tablet, gauging its performance is a different story altogether.
What follows is our current tablet testing procedure, which consists of a battery life test, and display performance evaluations, plus a few anecdotal speed tests. Expect these tests to continually change and evolve as we're currently looking at a few other benchmarks like 3DMark to add to our benchmarking methodology. 3DMark will be compatible with iOS, Android, and Windows RT, making it a very exciting prospect for evaluating 3D games performance. Look for an update whenever the new benchmark gets released.
Anecdotal evaluation We evaluate each tablet's build quality, taking into account many attributes. These include, but aren't limited to, the following: its weight, how durable it feels, and whether it's too malleable. Does it feel overly plastic-y or does its metal backside weigh it down too much? We also launch plenty... [Read more]
