iPad sales: You know you want an Apple tablet
Looking for a computer to lean back on the couch and watch videos? iPad. Need a computer to take handwritten notes on? iPad. Want to create amazing digital art? iPad. Need a very portable computer for business communication? iPad.
Apple’s tablet is useful in so many ways. It’s a combination of powerful and portable that’s hard to beat.
Apple offers a range of sizes and price levels to choose from. Serious users can get the super-thin iPad Pro with a beautiful 11-inch or 13-inch OLED display. It runs on Apple’s latest M4 processor, and is ready to handle the new Apple Intelligence AI-powered features. I reviewed it (and love it).
Alternatively, you can save a bit and get an M2-powered iPad Air, which also comes in 11-inch and 13-inch options. It uses an Apple M2 processor so it’s not quite as speedy as the Pro models. Still, it supports Apple Intelligence.
Those looking for a real bargain can pick up the basic iPad 10. Don’t underestimate it — this is a capable computer up to most anything a child (and many adults) needs to do. Apple’s tiniest tablet, the iPad mini, wins fans for its extreme portability. Its small size puts it squarely in the Goldilocks zone between a tablet and a smartphone.
Whatever iPad version is right for you, odds are it’s on sale now.

iPad Pro sales
The base model 13-inch M4 iPad Pro offers 256GB of storage and ordinarily sells for $1,299. But you can ignore that because Amazon’s cost is $1,099 after an 15% discount. That’s $200 in savings. And the 11-inch M4 model is 10% off. Instead of $999, it’s $899 — a nice discount.
The iPad Pro comes in space black or silver. You can choose from storage options ranging from 256GB to 2TB. They all come with Wi-Fi, but you can add cellular connectivity for a fee. And on some models, you can pay extra to get Apple’s nano-texture screen coating to cut glare.
iPad Pro is Apple’s most powerful, with the best-looking display. It’s a no-compromises tablet for those ready to get things done.
- Gorgeous screen
- As powerful as a MacBook
- Pricey
iPad Air discounts
Move down to the middle tier of Apple tablets, and Amazon and Best Buy cut the price of the 13-inch M2 iPad Air with 128GB of storage from $799 to $699 — a lucky 13% discount. The 11-inch version ordinarily runs $599, but these iPad sales drop it down to $499 after a 17% discount.
The 13-inch iPad Air comes in space black or silver. The 11-inch model adds purple and starlight colors. Each size offers a variety of storage options. And you can choose from Wi-Fi-only models or pay more to add cellular connectivity.
The 2024 iPad Air runs on a speedy Apple M2 processor. And for the first time, Apple added an iPad Air with a 13-inch screen. The newest models include faster Wi-Fi and a landscape front camera.
The M2 iPad Air also supports the new Apple Pencil Pro with all its useful gestures.
- Makes a 13-inch Apple tablet affordable
- Ideal for those needing a large screen but not cutting-edge performance
- Supports Apple Pencil Pro
- A bit underpowered for the price.

iPad 10 with its 10.9-inch display is always Apple’s bargain tablet, and Amazon lowered the cost even more. Rather than $349 it’s down to $321 — save 8%.
The iPad 10 comes in four colors: blue, pink, yellow and silver. The bas model includes 64GB of storage, or you can pay a bit more for 256GB.
Although no longer the newest budget iPad, the 10th-generation model still offers good performance in a modern, all-screen design.

The latest iPad mini, the seventh-generation model, runs on Apple’s A17 Pro chip. It, too, packs enough processing power to run Apple Intelligence. Right now, you can slash $100 off the base model, which retails for $499.
iPad mini 7 is tiny but boasts an 8.3-inch screen. iPadOS makes it a powerful computer, and it beats even the largest iPhone for watching video or playing games.
