Tablets
Landing somewhere between a laptop and a smartphone, tablets are an extremely versatile device, so it’s no surprise that more and more people find themselves shopping for one. Not all tablets are created equal, but there are some great sales happening on various models right now, including the prestigious Apple iPad air and the 2-in-1 Lenovo Chromebook.
Apple iPad Air (5th Gen.)
$500 $600 Save $100
Featuring fast M1-powered performance and versatile accessory compatibility in a sleek design, the latest Apple iPad Air is our pick for best overall tablet. The features and functionality make it well worth the price, especially since all colors and storage sizes are $100 off right now.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite
$300 $430 Save $130
Coming with an included S-Pen stylus, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite is an excellent tablet for doodling, sketching, and note-taking, offering a comparable experience to using the full-sized Tab S6 or Apple iPad for significantly less.

$280 $380 Save $100
This 2-in-1 Chromebook offers all the advantages of a convenient touchscreen tablet, but can also be used as a laptop once you attach the wireless keyboard.
