We’ve got all the best Memorial Day sales rounded up, and that includes the best Memorial Day tablet deals.

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.

Apple is reportedly planning to launch a new slate of devices late in October, and this event will focus on Macs, it seems. Earlier today, Apple confirmed that a smart home-focused event is lined up for October 13, which leaves the doors open for another busy event where the company is expected to launch a highly anticipated MacBook Pro overhaul with the touch-sensitive OLED screen, a new iPad, and more computing gear.

“The product launch is scheduled on or around Tuesday, Oct. 27, according to people with knowledge of the matter. The end-of-month announcements will also include versions of the 14-inch MacBook Pro and iMac with M6 chips,” says the report.

Amazon is doing with Android tablets what Apple still won’t do with the iPad
Amazon's new tablets have an idea that other Androids should copy
Amazon Alexa Tablet 12 Pro pen

I did not expect Amazon to be the company that made me reconsider what an Android tablet should actually be. The company's Fire tablets have been quite the opposite of what you'd expect from an Android experience. Despite running on the Android OS, they ran a fork of Android, which pushed users toward Amazon’s own apps and services, and famously shipped without the Google Play Store.

That's not to say they were entirely terrible. In our review of the Fire Max 11, we praised it for its hardware package and overall value. Though its sparse app selection was also one of the biggest things holding it back. Installing Google Play yourself made the tablet dramatically more useful.

From planning a hike to adding events to your calendar, Alexa can now understand what you're looking at and take action without making you start from scratch.
Amazon Alexa tablet On Screen Intelligence

Amazon has launched three new Alexa Tablets, starting at $229.99, and they look like solid devices with aluminum builds and sharp displays. That said, hardware isn't what got me interested. The feature I keep thinking about is On-Screen Intelligence, which gives Alexa the ability to understand what's open on your tablet and help with it.

Why does this matter?
