Today’s best Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite Black Friday deal

Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite.
Samsung / Samsung

Why Buy:

  • Android OS makes it a good iPad alternative for people without iPhones
  • It’s about as cheap as a good name-brand tablet can get
  • Durable metal frame
  • 8.7-inch screen is a great balance between portability and utility

The Apple iPad is still the king of the best tablets, but let’s face it: iPads aren’t cheap, and not everybody favors Apple’s software ecosystem. In the past, Android tablets were rather spotty in terms of quality and hardware capabilities and remained a questionable value at best. While there are still plenty of cheap Android tablets you shouldn’t buy, a lot has changed in recent years. Today’s Android tablets are quite capable, and this has been driven largely by Samsung and increased competition with Chromebooks and Chrome OS tablets.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite is a more basic, pared-down version of one of the best Android tablets, the Galaxy Tab A7. It sports a nice 8.7-inch touchscreen which strikes a great balance between portability and utility. Standard tablets are typically 10 inches across or larger, which might be a little too big for something you want to carry in your bag. And with its durable metal frame, you can definitely carry the Galaxy Tab A7 Lite around with you without worries. Its Android software makes it an ideal iPad alternative to Android phone users, too.

Right now, this Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite Black Friday deal will run you only $120 (down $40 from its usual $160 price) for the 32GB model. If you want some more storage, you can grab the 64GB Tab A7 Lite for just $10 more and save $70, which is also a great bargain. And if you have an older device to trade in, you can snag it for even cheaper: Give Samsung your old smartphone or tablet from select brands and get up to $100 in an instant credit towards your purchase.

How to reset an iPad: soft restart, force restart, and factory reset
From a quick reboot to a full wipe, here's every reset trick your iPad actually needs.
iPad Pro on table

Even the best hardware from Apple isn't immune to glitches. iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks are known to run for years without issues, but every so often, your iPad needs a reset to get back on track.

The good news is that resetting an iPad is one of the easiest things you can do on any Apple device. It takes just a few minutes and doesn't require any tech expertise. That said, there are three very different types of resets, and mixing them up can cause more problems than it solves. You don't want to wipe your entire iPad when all you needed was a quick restart.
