SAVE $50: The Apple iPad 11-inch (WiFi, 128GB) is on sale at Amazon for $299, down from the list price of $349. That's a 14% discount.
We're full-on into back-to-school season now, which means it's time to take stock of what items you still need to help with a successful year. For many students, regardless of age, a tablet is an awesome addition for both studying and relaxing. Even if you're not heading to the classroom this year, now is a great time to score a discount on one of Apple's best tablets.
As of Aug. 19, the Apple iPad 11-inch (WiFi, 128GB) is on sale for $299 at Amazon, marked down from the normal price of $349. That shaves $50 off the price thanks to the 14% discount. Plus, you can choose from blue, yellow, pink, and silver to score this sale price.
On the list of the best iPads, Mashable's top pick for a budget model is the Apple iPad 11-inch. Shopping Reporter Samantha Mangino wrote, "Even though its tech is basic compared to the advanced iPad Air and Pro, it's great for someone who wants a portable screen for streaming, playing games, and reading. It's also a nice choice if you're interested in using your tablet as a laptop, but don't want to spend a ton of money." Mangino also highlights this is a great model for parents to snag for their kids thanks to the affordable price.
The iPad measures 10.9 inches which is a great middle-ground between a laptop and a cellphone. You'll be able to draw, draft, and stream shows with this size without it overtaking your bag or being so tiny that you'll need to find your reading glasses. Plus, its 500 nits of brightness make it pretty nice for using outside.
If you feel like getting fancy with the iPad, you can pair it with the Apple Pencil or the Magic Keyboard Folio to make a laptop-esque experience.
While it's still on sale for $299, snag the Apple iPad 11-inch at Amazon and watch Wednesday on a more deserving screen than your phone. Come time to study, it'll be great for reviewing lecture notes.
