Not all tablet deals are directed towards power users, because there are also offers that make basic tablets even more affordable. Here's one from Best Buy -- a $50 discount on the 64GB model of the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+, which slashes its price to just $170 from $220 originally.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+

However, if that's all you need from a tablet -- browsing the internet, watching streaming shows, checking social media, and similar functions -- then this device is perfect for you. It ships with Android 13, but you'll be able to upgrade it to the latest version of the operating system, Android 14, so that you can access some of the latest features and security updates. The Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ only comes with 64GB of internal storage, but you can add up to 1TB of more space using a microSD card.
