Why you should buy the Apple iPad 10.2

Still considered to be one of the best iPads for anyone on a budget, the Apple iPad 10.2 continues to offer great performance at an even more affordable price. In our Apple iPad 10.2 review, we cited how much we loved its great battery life, powerful internals, and amazing software support. It still has a lightning port, which feels increasingly dated with the rise of USB-C, and the display could be brighter, but those are all reasonable trade-offs in this price range.

The Apple iPad 10.2 still has a good looking display: 10.2-inch Retina with True Tone support. It’s all powered by its A13 Bionic chip with Neural Engine while there’s 64GB of storage. It has stereo speakers for watching or listening to content. It also has an 8MP wide back camera for taking photos and there’s a 12MP Ultra Wide front camera with Center Stage support for when you need to look professional on video calls.

Any time you want to use the Apple iPad 10.2 as a graphics tablet, it also has support for the Apple Pencil (1st generation) so you can sketch out designs. Such flexibility all comes together to ensure the Apple iPad 10.2 is one of the best tablets for value as it simply does everything you could need.

The Apple iPad 10.2 normally costs $330, but right now it’s down to $230 for a limited time at Best Buy. At its original price, it was a pretty good value, but it’s even more tempting while on sale at $100 off. Perfect for when your phone is too small and your laptop is too hefty for your needs, the Apple iPad 10.2 is sure to satisfy many people.

Lenovo just gave its gaming tablet the OLED display it needed. Now bring it to the U.S.
The Y700 Infinite finally closes the OLED gap between Lenovo and Red Magic
Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

There are plenty of compact tablets on the market, but the options shrink quickly once you start looking for something built specifically for gaming. Apple’s seventh-generation iPad mini remains one of the strongest choices on the iOS side, while the Red Magic Astra is one of the most obvious Android alternatives.

Lenovo’s Legion Tab Gen 5 also belongs in that conversation, but it has been missing one feature that is increasingly difficult to overlook on a premium tablet: OLED. Lenovo has now fixed that with a refreshed version of the tablet that swaps the IPS panel for a 165Hz OLED display, making the compact Legion considerably more appealing.

But for the iPad mini, it would be a pretty substantial jump.
