What is the absolute best tablet you can buy?
For all-around quality, the best tablet we've ever tested is the Apple iPad Air, which you can get in its 11-inch size at Amazon for as low as $549. Our testers praised this tablet (specifically its 13-inch model) for its powerful M2 processing chip that can do everything from composing emails to streaming videos. Speaking of videos, the iPad Air has a front-facing camera on its side instead of its top section so you can turn the tablet horizontally and prop it up to take FaceTime calls.
Are Amazon deals on tablets actually worth it?
Yes! Though tablets are smaller than laptops, their price tags don't shrink too much in comparison. Ahead of October Prime Day, you can shop wild discounts on some of the best tablets we've ever tested. You'll find savings on compact models for any travel and as advanced as any computer.
