If you're doing any travel this holiday season, do yourself a favor and grab a tablet. It will certainly be a better way to stay occupied than whatever in-flight entertainment you may (or may not) get stuck with. Plus, family can be a lot, so after a big holiday meal, we don't blame you if you want to hide away with a comfort film.
Tablets simplify your tech while traveling since they can double as a laptop, e-reader, and gaming device. Luckily, with Black Friday officially underway, the deals are already here. Plus, more than just iPads are up for grabs: Amazon Fire and Samsung Galaxy tablets are on sale too.
Explore the best early Black Friday deals on tablets available now:
Best iPad deal
Why we like it
An iPad under $200 is a true gift this holiday season. Apple's 9th generation model is down to $199.99 at Best Buy, less than a dollar short of its lowest price ever. While there might be newer generations available, this is the most budget-friendly model, especially now that it's $129.01 off.
The 9th generation Apple iPad comes with the A13 bionic chip, which provides plenty of processing power for streaming, gaming, or working. The 10.2-inch retina display gives plenty of space for your creative pursuits, as it's compatible with the first generation of Apple Pencil.
Now is the right time to shop, as you can find the Apple iPad 9th generation for 39% off.
