The Apple iPad 10.2 is a fantastic general all-rounder tablet. It’s the latest model, which means it utilizes an A12 Bionic chip with Neural Engine so it never misses a beat no matter what you’re doing. Whether you’re using it to stream your favorite shows, edit videos, or to play games via Apple Arcade, the processor keeps up with you. It has a gorgeous 10.2-inch Retina display that demonstrates some of the best screen quality that Apple can offer. Alongside that is an 8MP back camera and a 1.2MP FaceTime HD front camera so you can take snaps as well as join in on video conferencing sessions. A 10-hour battery life means it’ll last all day, too.

Ordinarily priced at $329, the iPad 10.2 is down to just $299 at Amazon.
