Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 — $109, was $139

With a $30 savings, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 is even more of a bargain than usual. As the name suggests, you get an 8-inch display combined with dual speakers with both being ideal if you want to watch your favorite shows while on the move. It has a minimized bezel so you won’t be distracted by the exterior and it’s comfortable to hold onto. With Android 9.0 already installed, you can easily download all your favorite apps as well as play plenty of games from the Google Play Store. With an up to 13-hour battery life, you won’t need to worry about recharging it throughout the day either which is sure to be useful if you take it out and about. Finally, there’s 32GB of built-in storage with the option of adding up to 512GB via a microSD card.

Apple iPad Mini — $379, was $399

If you’re more of an Apple fan and can stretch your budget further than the Apple iPad Mini is the one for you. Reduced to $379 at Amazon, you get a 7.9-inch Retina display with True Tone and wide color for a superior picture. There’s an A12 Bionic chip processor along with a Touch ID fingerprint sensor, 8MP back camera, and 7MP FaceTime HD front camera. Thanks to all that power, battery life is a little shorter than the Samsung tablet but it’s still a highly respectable 10 hours which should be good for all-day use. This time around, there’s 64GB of storage too although you can’t expand it at a later date. It’s an ideal introduction to the world of iPads or a neat upgrade from an older iPad.

The 11-inch iPad Pro M2 sold out, but you can get the iPad Pro M4 for the same price
iPad Pro with M2 inside.

If you've been looking forward to the arrival of this year's Cyber Monday Apple deals. it's time to get excited. There are some excellent deals. Best Buy was offering the Wi-Fi + Cellular model of the 11-inch Apple iPad Pro M2 for only $1,099, following a $1,000 discount that nearly halved the tablet's original price of $2,099. But since there's always high demand for savings on Apple's iPad from Cyber Monday deals, that offer is sold out. Don't panic, though. Best Buy also has the 11-inch Apple iPad Pro with M4 Chip for the same price -- $1,099. It's only a savings of $100, down from $1,199, but that's still a fantastic price. We highly recommend shopping this deal before it sells out too.

Are you ready? Cyber Monday is here and the deals are as green as ever. The Black Friday discount from Walmart on the Apple iPad (1oth Gen) is gone but the price is still low. The Wi-Fi, 64GB model is on sale for $331 (down from $349). It's not the most attractive Cyber Monday tablet deal that we've found but a discount is a discount. We're not sure for how long, though. Like with most Cyber Monday deals available, there's a chance that the offer disappears sooner than you think. If you want this device for a more affordable price than usual, we highly recommend buying soon.
