Switching from a small screen to a large screen to a medium-sized screen is pretty much all life is about these days. We wake up with our phones in hand, spend most of our day hunched over laptops, and then retreat to the couch with a tablet or phone to scroll Instagram or TikTok until it’s time to sleep. It’s not glamorous, but it's the reality we live in.
If you’re looking for a new tablet or want a screen that’s a bit larger than your phone, there are tons of deals at Amazon and Best Buy this week.
Here are our top picks:
The Apple iPad (9th gen) is a Mashable fave. We’ve ranked this tablet as the best tablet for most people. That might sound vague, but the iPad hits a sweet spot in terms of performance, portability, and price. It has a 10.2-inch Retina display, all-day battery life, and iPadOS, so you can run multiple apps at once.
Right now, you can get this tablet for just $199 at Amazon and Best Buy.
The Amazon Fire HD 10 (2023 release) is a great budget option if you don't want to spend a lot on a tablet. It’s only $89.99 at Amazon and Best Buy, 36% off the listing price. It has a 10.1-inch display, 13 hours of battery life, and is 25 percent faster than the previous generation. It’s also compatible with the Amazon Stylus Pen, so you can use it for note-taking and drawing.
The Amazon Fire 7 Kids Tablet is ideal for the little ones. It has a seven-inch display, a two-year guarantee (just in case it gets accidentally dropped), and a one-year subscription to Amazon Kids+, which gives kids access to thousands of kid-friendly books, movies, TV shows, educational apps, and games. Once the year’s up, it’s just $5.99 per month (but you don’t have to keep the subscription). There’s also a parent dashboard to manage content and screen time.
You can grab this little tablet for just $69.99 at Amazon (it’s no longer available at Best Buy).
