For those who are on the hunt for iPad deals, you probably should take advantage of Best Buy’s $150 discount for the Wi-Fi, 64GB model of the fifth-generation Apple iPad Air. From its original price of $600, it’s back down to $450, which is what the tablet was going for during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. If you missed the chance to buy the device back then, you shouldn’t let this opportunity slip through your fingers — proceed with completing the transaction now while it’s not yet too late.

Why you should buy the Apple iPad Air 5th Gen

The 2022 Apple iPad Air reigns over both of our lists for the best iPads and best tablets, primarily because of the power it packs for a reasonable price. You’ll be able to watch streaming shows, play video games, browse the internet, and multitask between all of these apps without any issues. This is possible through Apple’s M1 processor, which comes with an eight-core CPU for efficient performance, an eight-core GPU for amazing graphics, and a 16-core Neural Engine and 8GB of RAM for fast processing and rendering. The fifth-generation Apple iPad Air may be overkill for some people, but that only means you won’t feel the need to make an upgrade for years to come.

The fifth-generation Apple iPad Air features a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display that’s bright and sharp, a 12MP Wide camera at the back, and a 12MP Ultra Wide camera at the front with Center Stage that will keep you in the frame during video calls even when you’re moving. The tablet ships with iPadOS 15, but you can upgrade to iPadOS 17, the operating system’s latest version, as soon as you get it.

Whether you’re an Apple fan or not, the fifth-generation Apple iPad Air should be at the top of your list if you’re looking for tablet deals. This is especially true because its Wi-Fi, 64GB model is currently available for its Black Friday and Cyber Monday price of $450 from Walmart, for savings of $150 on its sticker price of $600. We’re pretty sure that stocks will sell quickly, so if you want to take advantage of this bargain, you’re going to have to push through with your purchase today. Tomorrow may already be too late due to the high demand for the fifth-generation Apple iPad Air.

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.

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.
