Best Memorial Day tablet deals: Save on iPad, Samsung, Amazon, and more

By

While tablets may not be an essential part of modern-day life like a phone or a computer, they have a ton of uses that make owning one an excellent utility. Whether it’s using them to stream content or play games, or, in the case of some of the best tablets, using them for work on graphic design, tablets can make a big difference. That’s why we’re happy to see some substantial discounts as part of the early Memorial Day sales. There are big discounts on Samsung, Apple, and everything in between, although if you can’t quite find what you’re looking for here, be sure to check our roundup of our favorite yearlong tablet deals.

Best iPad Memorial Day Deals

Apple makes some of the best and most popular tablets on the market, and if you’re already in the Apple ecosystem, then it definitely makes sense to grab yourself an iPad. Luckily, we’re seeing some great early Memorial Day deals on various models, although sadly there aren’t any great deals on Apple’s latest M4 iPads just yet.

Samsung is the main competitor to Apple when it comes to tablets and even whole ecosystems, and if you’re not in the Apple ecosystem, then Samsung tablets are some of the best you’re going to find. Even better, Samsung tends to have a lot more variety in prices, so you can find excellent mid-range tablets for a solid price. We’ve collected some of our favorite early Memorial Day deals below, but it’s worth noting that a lot of these have larger or small storage options that also have deals on them, so be sure to check those two.

Of course, not everybody is going to want to go for an Apple or a Samsung tablet, and that includes folks who are in the Amazon ecosystem and would prefer an Amazon Fire tablet. To that end, we’ve collected a few different options, including Amazon, Lenovo, and Microsoft. That way, you should find a pretty solid early Memorial Day tablet deal to your liking, regardless of what you’re aiming for.

The $999 iPad Pro M4 is discounted by $100 at select stores today
Writing in Arabic script using the ESR Geo Digital Pencil on the M4 iPad Pro.

If you want one of the best tablets, it is only natural to gravitate towards the iPad Pro line. It is the top of the iPad line, and we compare the iPad Pro M4 and Microsoft Surface Pro side by side. These are intense products. And right now you can get the 11-inch version of the iPad Pro M4 for just $899. That's $100 off its usual $999 price. Tap the appropriate button below to jump to this deal at the retailer of your choice or keep reading to see why we like it so much.

Why you should buy the iPad Pro M4
The basic stat line of the iPad Pro M4 is quite impressive. Its 11-inch OLED screen has a 2420 x 1668 pixel resolution that refreshes at 120Hz, and in our iPad Pro M4 review we noted that it has a noticeable "boost in saturation, contrast, and viewing angle" compared to previous iPads. The speakers are fantastic too, producing "enough thump that you can clearly feel the sonic vibrations if you're holding the slate in your hands." The M4 iPad Pro has 8GB of RAM and (this version) has 256GB of memory storage.

Last fall, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 series came out, giving us the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10+. And, already, you can get it with a discount of $130 or more, if you act fast.

The Surface Pro 8 with the new Surface Slim Pen 2.

If you're interested in the best 2-in-1 laptops, you'll certainly have heard of Microsoft's Surface line. They're pretty powerful, but they do come with a catch — unless you get a great bundle you're going to have to supply the stylus pen and keyboard separately. Eventually, getting these accessories will feel like an "essential" upgrade to your device. And that's where Best Buy comes in.

Every day Best Buy has a "Deal of the Day," which is exactly what it says on the tin, but they also have bonus deals of the day if you look harder.

You can save $26 on the pen (taking it from $130 to $104) or $70 on the keyboard (taking it from $350 to $280) if you take advantage of these deals before 1:00 a.m. ET. That's a combined savings of $96. Tap the button below (and scroll down) to see today's bonus deals or keep reading to see how these accessories are a big bonus for your tablet.
