The Apple iPad consistently ranks as one of the best tablets on the market. Even if you’ve never used an Apple product before, we guarantee you’ll feel like you’ve been using an iPad for years after just a day or two with one. These are fast and powerful touchscreen devices that are packed with features and customizations, and right now, Best Buy is offering a significant discount on one of the best iPad models.

We’re talking about the 2022 iPad Air, which we ranked as the best overall tablet for 2024. Today, you’ll be able to take the Apple tablet home for $500. At full price, this model goes for $750. Best Buy deals tend to last all week, but some sales only last for a day or two. That being said, you may want to ask fast on this iPad promo, as it’s definitely one of the best tablet deals we’ve seen today.

Why you should buy the 2022 iPad Air

This version of the 2022 iPad Air is equipped with Apple’s M1 chip. You’ll also be working with a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display, and up to 256GB of internal storage. 

As Apple’s first foray into silicone chipsets for its tablet lineup, the M1 delivers exceptional performance; from fast-loading web pages and apps, to the ability to have multiple programs open at once without lag or slow load times. This makes it the perfect mobile companion for students and workplace professionals. Not to mention its sleek and portable design that makes it easy to tout from one location to the next.

Apple has been using Liquid Retina tech on its laptops and tablets for several years now, and we’re always fans of the results. The 2022 iPad Air leans on its TrueTone and P3 color spectrum capabilities to give us some of the best picture and video quality of any tablet. You’ll have a hard time going back to YouTube on your old smartphone after watching a few HD clips on this iPad Air!

Other noteworthy features include all-day battery life (up to 10 hours), USB-C connectivity, and a 12MP camera system. As mentioned, we’re not sure how long this sale is going to last, so it’s best to take advantage while you still can. Take home the 2022 iPad Air for $500 when you purchase through Best Buy. We have a whole list of other iPad deals for you to check out too!

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

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.

The 9th Gen iPad with Apple’s A13 Bionic chip is only $200 today

The Apple iPad has been a popular holiday item for several years now. With Cyber Monday officially here, we’re excited to see so many great iPad deals available. That leads us to this offer we found: For a limited time, when you purchase the 9th Gen iPad with A13 Bionic, you’ll only pay $200. At full price, this iPad sells for $480. We had the opportunity to test this model a while back, and our iPad expert had the following to say: “The iPad 10.2 (2021) is the best iPad you can buy today. There are few discernible upgrades over the previous two generations, but if you don't have one, this is the one to get. If you do, there's no point in upgrading.” If that's not a solid argument for grabbing this 9th Gen iPad deal, I don't know what is.

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.
