Apple iPad (2020) deal
Apple’s 10.2-inch iPad might seem a lot like its predecessor (and it is), but the company tweaked enough for us to still love this slate. Not only does the extra screen space (up from 9.7 inches) go a long way in iPadOS, but the added Smart Keyboard Cover support is a finally moment. The A12 Bionic chip (with Neural Engine) keeps things moving smooth as butter, and support for Apple Pencil is a welcome addition. With the 32GB version priced at $299 for Prime Day (and $395 for 128GB), this iPad is one of the cheapest tablets in Apple’s lineup, and it might just be the best tablet for the money.

Apple iPad Air (2020) deal
With the iPad Air (2020), Apple brings its mid-range tablet closer to parity with the premium iPad Pro. No longer a larger version of the entry-level iPad, the iPad Air was redesigned with slimmer bezels and outfitted with the new A14 Bionic CPU. Now with a larger 10.9-inch panel and support for the Magic Keyboard, the Air borrows the best features of the iPad Pro while omitting niche extras to keep the cost down. If you can stretch your budget, the iPad Air gets you worthwhile upgrades over the iPad without omitting too many features found on the iPad Pro. As such, the new iPad Air is the easiest tablet to recommend in Apple’s lineup, and arguably the best tablet on the market. Right now, you can save $80 off the 64GB version of the iPad Air ($520), or $100 off the 256GB version ($650). Apple’s products don’t go on sale all that often, so get ’em while they last.
