Apple iPad Mini Space Gray Latest Model Amazon Deal

If proof is needed that we’re not dogmatic at Android Authority, it’s our review of the latest iPad Mini. It’s not only a high-end small tablet — increasingly rare these days — but we found it to be one of the best tablets you can buy, period.

If we do have a criticism of Apple products it’s the high prices and scarcity of deals, so when we find offers then we’re keen to alert you to them. Today you can pick up the fifth-gen iPad Mini for $334.99 ($64 off). It last hit that price level around Black Friday last year.

It’s tough to argue against Apple as the king of the tablet game. The iPad line has swelled to nearly half-a-dozen models, and each fills its own important role. Whether you want the ultraportable iPad Mini or the powerful iPad Air and iPad Pro, you’re bound to find a perfect fit. Of course, you’ll have to allow iOS into your life in the form of iPadOS. Here are some top picks:

Amazon Fire Tablet deals

Amazon’s Fire line of tablets is one of the most affordable ways to dip into the experience, with some models starting well under $100. You can choose from a few sizes — 7, 8, or 10-inches — and all of the tablets run Amazon’s own Fire OS. You won’t find the familiar Google Play Store here, but you should be able to get by with the Kindle app, Prime Video, and more.

Microsoft Surface Pro deals

If you want to seriously consider replacing your laptop with a tablet, the Microsoft Surface line is the way to go. They often drop the mobile-based chipset for a full-sized Intel Core processor. You’ll also find larger 12-inch displays on the flagship Surface Pro line. The high-end Surface Pro X even lets you tap into 4G LTE connectivity for work on the go. Take a look at the deals here:


Well, that pretty much does it for the list of the best tablet deals we could find. We’ll do our best to keep the list updated, but don’t forget to check out some of our other articles if you’re still deciding.
