Best Memorial Day tablet deals

Should you shop the Memorial Day tablet sales?

Like with any major purchase, it can be tricky to know when the right time to buy is. That goes doubly so during the Memorial Day tablet sales as the sales season is so close to another big event — Prime Day. Simply put, we’re expecting the Prime Day deals to be better than the Memorial Day tablet deals, so you may well be better off holding out until then. After all, it’s only a few weeks away.

However, while the Prime Day tablet deals are likely to be better, knowing when to buy does all depend on how urgently you need a new tablet. If your existing tablet has just failed or you simply can’t wait any longer, we won’t blame you if you have to dive into the Memorial Day tablet sales right now.

On a similar note, if you’re buying a tablet for a gift, then you might need it sooner than Prime Day. Don’t let someone down simply to save a few bucks!

Holding out for Prime Day should be more financially beneficial, but it’ll also give you more time to figure out your budget and check out our look at the best tablets. There are a lot of different options out there, so it’s important you find the best one for you. Whether you wait for the Prime Day sales or go for it now, buying the wrong one will cost you in the long run, so do your research.

Still, it’s highly likely that you’ll get the best bang for your buck with Prime Day rather than the Memorial Day tablet sales, but in either case, keep an eye out and avoid any incremental discounts. These are rarely worth your while. You want the big discounts so you can truly reap the rewards of your chosen sales event.

The iPad is finally getting the Affinity app creatives have been asking for
Affinity brings photo editing, vector design, page layout, and sketching together in one free iPad app.
Affinity UI on iPad

Affinity’s new all-in-one creative app is finally coming to the iPad, nearly a year after Canva launched the redesigned desktop version for Mac and Windows. Creatives have been asking for the iPad release ever since, especially because files created in the new Affinity app cannot be opened in the older V2 iPad apps.

Affinity already has Photo, Designer, and Publisher apps on iPad, but the new release combines those tools into the same unified app that Canva launched on desktop last year.

Apple’s “Pro and Tell” October 28 event: Everything we expect from touchscreen MacBooks to a new iMac
Prepare for a touchscreen MacBook that costs around $3,000.
Computer, Electronics, Laptop

Touchscreen laptops have been around for years. You can get them in all sizes and shapes. Just not from Apple. For years, the Cupertino giant has treated the idea of a touchscreen MacBook the way I treat a meeting that could have been an email: with open contempt. However, Wednesday looks like the day the company could finally change its mind. 

The latest Apple invite puts the “Pro and Tell” showcase in Los Angeles at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET) on October 28, 2026. Instead of a regular live-streamed keynote, it is an invitation-only, hands-on event for a handful of press and creators (similar to what the company did for the MacBook Neo earlier this year).

Apple will only give you the fastest iPad mini chip if you pay $999, or more
The full A20 Pro experience on Apple’s new iPad mini is reserved for buyers spending at least $999.
Apple iPad mini with 6-core CPU

Apple has just launched its latest iPad mini with a notable set of upgrades, including an OLED screen, improved speakers, and a more resilient build. It also gets a new chip, and the whole package costs $200 more than its predecessor. But if you look closely at Apple’s online store, you’ll realize that $699 isn’t enough to get you the most powerful version of the A20 Pro chip inside this tablet. In fact, even if you pay $800 for the 256GB model, you still won’t get the beefiest variant. Only when you jump to the 512GB trim, which costs an absurd $999, do you get the most powerful flavor of the A20 Pro.

The $999 model gets more than extra storage
