iPad: You know you want one
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.
And there’s a range of sizes and price levels to choose from. Serious users can get the super-thin iPad Pro with either a 13- or 11-inch beautiful OLED display. It runs the new M4 processor — before any Mac gets this chip! It’s ready to handle the new Apple Intelligence AI-powered features, too. I reviewed it (and love it).
Or save a bit and get an M2-powered iPad Air, which comes in 13- and 11-inch options. It uses an Apple M2 processor so it’s not quite as speedy, though. Still, it supports Apple Intelligence, too.
Those looking for a real bargain can pick up the basic iPad 10, while the iPad mini 6 is ever so small. Just be aware there’s a good chance improved versions of these latter tablets are possibly coming in only a few weeks.
But whatever iPad version is right for you, it’s on sale for Prime Day.
Don’t miss iPad Pro and iPad Air discounts on Amazon Prime Day
The base model 13-inch M4 iPad Pro offers 256GB of storage and ordinarily sells for $1,299. Not during Prime Day, though. The cost is $1,149 after an 8% discount and a $50 coupon.
And the 11-inch M4 model is 10% off and the same $50 coupon. Instead of $999, it’s $849 — a nice discount.
Moving down to the next tier of Apple tablets, Prime Day cuts the price of the 13-inch M2 iPad Air with 128GB of storage from $799 to $738.99 — an 8% discount. Just note the exact discount varies depending on what casing color you choose.
The 11-inch version is ordinarily $599, but it’s down to $545 after a 9% discount.
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 $299 — save 14%.
And iPad mini 6 got a serious price drop for Prime Day. It’s just $349.99 after a whopping 30% cut.
Sorry to repeat myself, but these aren’t permanent price cuts. Prime Day ends soon causing these iPad models to jump in cost.
