Apple iPad Mini
The 6th-generation Apple iPad Mini is still my favorite Apple tablet, despite being from 2021. The iPad Mini is much more portable and manageable, so you can more easily take it on the go, or more easily hold it when at home. And it helps that it has a gorgeous design made of aluminum, much like all other Apple products. It has an 8.3-inch screen with a 2,266 x 1,488 resolution, which actually reproduces the DCI-P3 color gamut.
While most smaller tablets are lacking, the iPad Mini was made to be a higher-end tablet. It features an Apple A15 Bionic chip, along with 4GB of RAM. It has a battery life of nine hours when surfing the web. And if you want to get creative, it supports both the 2nd-generation Apple Pencil and the USB-C Apple Pencil.
Google Pixel Tablet
If you’re more of an Android tablet kind of person, the Google Pixel Tablet strikes a great balance between price and functionality. It is larger, featuring a 10.95-inch screen with a 2,560 x 1,600 resolution.
It’s meant to be a mid-end tablet, but it’s still pretty capable, sporting a Google Tensor G2 processor and 8GB of RAM. It has a large 7,020mAh battery, and we found it pretty sufficient, pushing over 10 hours on a single charge. It also has pretty nice speakers, even without the dock. Which, by the way, this deal is for the tablet alone. You won’t be getting the docking station.
These are all-time low prices, so you might want to take advantage of these deals soon. Don’t wait around, because the deals will also end tomorrow, October 9. If you’re not convinced by either of these, check out our list of the best Android tablets to find worthy alternatives.
