Best tablet deals: Save on iPad, Samsung tablets, and more

Tablets are great everyday tools, whether you want to use them for watching content or as a form of note-taking. They’re also much lighter and easier to take around with you compared to laptops, and while most don’t have similar power, the specifications under the hood are more than enough. So, if you’d like to pick up a new tablet, we’ve collected some of our favorite deals below across different brands and platforms, so be sure to check everything out.

Best iPad Deals

Apple is one of the best-known tablet makers with its various models of the iPad. Of course, they also come with an Apple price tag, and aren’t always available on sale, especially after big events like Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Either way, whether you’re in the Apple ecosystem or not, iPads are powerful tablets and well worth grabbing if you’ve always wanted one.

  • Apple iPad Mini (5th Generation) —
  • Apple iPad (10th Generation) —
  • Apple iPad Air (5th Generation) —
  • Apple iPad Pro 11-inch (128GB, Wi-Fi & Cellular) —
  • Apple iPad Pro 12.9-inch (256GB, Wi-Fi) —

Best Fire Tablet Deals

If you’re in the Amazon ecosystem, then going with a Fire tablet can be a great option, especially since it offers a lot of familiarity, with one of its best ones being the Fire Tablet 7. Not only that, but Amazon also has quite a few great kids’ tablets that are a bit more rugged and can handle a knock or two while still giving you a good-quality tablet. Also, Fire tablets can be both ad-supported or not, so you can get them a bit cheaper if you want.

Best Android Tablet Deals

One of the great things about Android tablets is that there are many options out there, so you don’t have to stick to one specific ecosystem or brand, so there’s a lot of variety when it comes to choice. Even better, prices can go well below the $100 mark, which is great if you just want something basic without a lot of bells and whistles.

  • Lenovo Tab M8 (4th Gen) —
  • Google Pixel Tablet with Charging Speaker Dock —
  • OnePlus Pad 11.61-inch —

Best Samsung Tablet Deals

Samsung is probably the second most well-known tablet maker after iPad, and they have a much wider range of both prices and configurations, so you can narrow down exactly what you want or need. There are also generally a lot more deals available with Samsung tablets, as you’ll see below. The latest lineup is the S9, with one of the more budget-friendly options being the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE Plus, although the Tab A7 and Tab A8 tablets are also pretty good.

  • Samsung – Galaxy Tab A7 Lite 8.7-inch —
  • Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 10.5-inch —

There are a lot of options out there if you’re looking to get yourself one of the best tablets, but if you’re looking to grab some savings as well, you should check out the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra. The popular tablet makes a great alternative to the Apple iPad Pro and it’s marked down to $950 at Best Buy right now. This is one of the best tablet deals you’ll find today, as the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra regularly costs $1,100. This deal makes for a savings of $150, and free shipping is included.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra
When the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra was first released we called it not only the king of Samsung’s tablet lineup, but also the king of tablets. And while the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra is now the newest Galaxy Tab on the market, the S8 Ultra is still a more than worthy option. The screen comes in at 14.6 inches, which is one of the larger displays you’ll find in a tablet. It’s an immersive and responsive display that’s good for watching all of your favorite content, or for creating content of your own.
