Is this a Labor Day sale on iPads? Or just a garden-variety one? Don't know, don't care; the important thing is you don't miss Amazon's significant price cut on the 9th-gen tablet: It's down to a record-low $199. Granted, it's not the latest and greatest iPad in the lineup, but it offers excellent performance overall and a virtually unrivaled collection of apps and accessories. Plus, it has a headphone jack and dedicated Home button — features some users miss on Apple's newer models. This deal isn't likely to last long, so be sure to grab it while you can.
Make fighting with your family members over power outlets a thing of the past, courtesy of this electrifying gadget. It's equipped with five AC outlets and four USB ports, enough for everyone to charge their iPads, iPhones, MacBooks (you get the picture) all at once. Oh, and it's so much sleeker than having a power strip on your floor — and you won't have to worry about tripping over it.
No, it's not a massive discount, but this top seller is within a dollar of its all-time low (and it's retailed for as much as $20 in the past).
Ready for some Apple picking? Yes, we realize it's not fall, but you'll want to pluck this bad boy from the ol' Amazon tree and add it to your cart because it's currently down to its all-time lowest price — and this is the most recent version! As the unofficial Goldilocks of tech (less bulky than a laptop but larger than a smartphone), this tablet keeps you connected on the go or at home, and you can use it for everything from reading books to taking notes to watching videos.
Broida named this the "best overall tablet," owing to its "under-the-hood improvements, including a faster processor, more RAM (4GB instead of 3GB), Bluetooth 5.0 (up from 4.2) and a USB-C charging port."

If you've been eyeballing an iPad, this is the time to act: It's not likely you'll see any bigger discounts (on this model, anyway).
A discount of $130 is significant, but that markdown is even more eye-catching when you consider this model comes with 64GB of storage. This is on par with the lowest price on record for the 9th Generation iPad — plus, the 40% discount makes the deal all the sweeter.

This iPad is fast (thanks to an upgraded processor) and equipped with a greatly improved front camera over the 8th generation, the better to participate in video calls. That cam, coupled with Apple's Center Stage feature, automatically keeps the focus on the subject (you) as you move around — and it'll even widen out if someone else enters the frame.
Everything else will seem fairly familiar to past iPad owners. This model still relies on Apple's Lightning connector (rather than USB-C, which higher-end models and the new iPad Mini have embraced). It still employs a home button with Touch ID and still has a fairly chunky bezel along the top and bottom edges.
The iPad 10.2-inch version has received almost 58,900 ecstatic reviews from fans.
"Bought this iPad for the fourth and last grandchild, as we had with the last three," wrote an enthusiastic grandparent. "He is enjoying it and FaceTimes us every day. That, we love the best."
Another raved: "This latest and affordable iPad is up-to-date, smooth and easy to navigate. What really [got me] was when I learned that all the data and apps from my iPhone 11 could be transferred to the iPad by following easy-to-understand instructions. I did that, and within about 15 minutes, everything from the iPhone jumped over to my new iPad. How cool is that? I’ve owned earlier iPad versions, but this one leaves those in the dust. It’s well worth the update."
"There are so many different things possible to use this device for. I got mine to start a digital planner and it works wonderfully," one satisfied customer said. "One charge lasts me days. The picture quality is great if you want to watch movies or read an article/blog."
"The only downside I would ay is the battery life. It’s not bad by any means, but I would say it’s not as good as some other tablet options out there. I still get plenty of good use out of it on one charge before needing to plug it in. Overall, really no complaints," said one shopper.
We're not sure how long this deal will last, so grab it while you can.
