Best iPad deals: Save on iPad Air, iPad Pro, iPad Mini

By

If you’re in the market for some tablet deals the Apple iPad is a great tablet to turn to. The iPad frequently makes some of the best Apple deals you’ll find, and it sometimes even turns up better savings than Samsung tablet deals, Amazon Fire tablet deals, and even Kindle deals. There are quite a few iPad deals out there right now, and we’ve rounded up all of the best iPad deals below. They include a massive discount on the iPad Air M1 as well as a couple of price drops that came with the recent release of the iPad Pro M4, which is also seeing a surprising discount right now. With any iPad purchase you’ll get access to Apple’s software ecosystem so if you’re looking for some complementary devices you should also check out AirPods deals, iPhone deals, and MacBook deals for some additional Apple savings.

Apple’s A13 Bionic chip is no M1 or M2, but it still offers 64-bit architecture and neural engine support for excellent performance. In other words, this 10.2-inch iPad is incredible value. It has a 10.2-inch Retina display, 64GB of storage, supports Touch ID and Apple Pencil (1st Gen), and it’s size, plus all-day battery life make it an excellent choice for anyone with an on-the-go lifestyle.

The 10.9-inch iPad remains one of the best iPads for someone on a budget. If you just want an easy to use tablet to browse the internet, watch some streaming shows, and do other straightforward tasks, it’s a reasonable solution. The 10th Gen version is powered by Apple’s A14 Bionic chip, has a liquid Retina display, WiFi 6 for better connectivity, and works with Touch ID.

A “little powerhouse”, the Apple iPad Mini is ideal if you need a more portable iPad. It has a smaller 8.3-inch screen but that makes it the perfect middle ground between your phone and a laptop. Performance is pretty good from the A15 Bionic processor which is the same as the one on the iPhone 13. There’s support for the Apple Pencil too making it an ideal tablet for sketching out designs or taking notes. If you want a smaller tablet, this is perfect. Previous iPad Minis weren’t so great performance wise and had a smaller display, but the 6th generation model fixes that.

Apple iPad Air 11-inch M1 (256GB Wi-Fi) — $550, was $749

Offering incredible value, the iPad Air is a great option if you don’t want to splurge on the iPad Pro but you still want plenty of power. While the screen isn’t quite as good as the iPad Pro, everything else about it is high-end including its M1 processor. Thanks to plenty of accessory compatibility, it’s a good bet for when you need to be more productive, but is great for relaxing, too. All-day battery life keeps you going into the late hours without a charge.

Apple iPad Pro 11-inch M4 (256GB Wi-Fi)— $944, was $999

The Apple iPad Pro with the powerful M4 chip is the newest iPad on the market, which makes it a bit of a surprise to see it discounted already. This 256GB Wi-Fi model, however, can add some savings to its long list of reasons to buy. Others include the 11-inch Ultra Retina XDR display, which delivers extreme brightness and contrast and features advanced technologies like ProMotion, True Ton, and P3 wide color. This iPad will have all of the performance you’ll likely need, as it features the aforementioned M4 chip, a processor Apple is also putting in many of its laptops to come.

Best Samsung tablet Memorial Day deals

While early Memorial Day tablet deals cover a lot of ground, if you're interest in Galaxy Tab products, these are the best Memorial Day sales that we're seeing at this time. Many of these deals come straight from the pages of the best Samsung tablets, in case you want to make a comparison shop. Note that the S9 FE is less costly that the S8's in the list, as it is a paired down machine in terms of power. Of all of the Galaxy Tab products available in the early Memorial Day deals that we've uncovered so far, the most powerful is the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra, which is a fantastic screen but a bit expensive to buy at regular price. In other words, now is the time to grab it if you ever will. Also, while this isn't true for all of the models listed below, if you aren't happy with the initial configuration of the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra (maybe you want more RAM or storage) you can feel free to poke around the options quite a bit. Most of the other configurations are, at least at this time ahead of Memorial Day, on sale too.
