The latest model of the iPad is the best variant yet. It has an impressive 10.2-inch Retina display that makes everything look fantastic. Armed with an A10 Fusion processor, it’s speedy as well so it’s perfect for every activity from browsing the internet to watching Netflix or playing the latest games courtesy of an Apple Arcade subscription. Security-wise, it has a Touch ID fingerprint sensor like many smartphones so only you can safely access it. There’s an 8MP back camera, too, along with a 1.2MP FaceTime HD front camera for FaceTime sessions with friends and family. With $80 off the usual price, the latest iPad 10.2 is only $250, making it a fantastic bargain for an all-singing, all-dancing tablet. It’s the perfect tablet for using instead of a laptop, or for when your phone’s screen isn’t quite big enough.

The Best Buy offer extends to different color schemes including Space Gray, Silver, and Gold, so there’s something for every taste here. You also get 1 year of Apple TV+ entirely for free with the deal. Be quick though – with prices like these, stock will be limited!

Apple 10.2-inch iPad -- $270 was $329

This is one of those Cyber Monday iPad deals you don't want to miss. Digital Trends' Adam Doud once called the 2021 Apple iPad "the new boss," in his Apple iPad (2021) review, which, admittedly, is a lot like the old boss. That's not a bad thing -- it just means Apple got it right the first time, and with its return, they got it right again, with a little more power inside. It has great battery life, powerful internal hardware, and offers a big upgrade to the front-facing camera from the previous generation. Plus, the base storage is increased and much more acceptable with today's data-heavy activities. Grab this deal while it lasts.
