Ars Technica

It's the weekend, which means it's clip for different Dealmaster. Our latest roundup of the champion tech deals from astir the web includes the lowest terms we've tracked for Apple's 10.2-inch iPad, which is currently down to $280 astatine assorted retailers. That's astir $50 disconnected Apple's MSRP and astir $25 disconnected the mean thoroughfare terms we've seen online successful caller months.

You tin work our reappraisal from past September for much details, but successful short, we see the 10.2-inch iPad to beryllium the champion enactment for astir radical successful the marketplace for an Apple tablet. Yes, its A13 Bionic spot isn't arsenic almighty arsenic the M1 SoC recovered successful the iPad Air and iPad Pro, and the device's older plan connection means it lacks the USB-C ports, laminated touchscreens, upgraded cameras, and wider accessory enactment of those higher-end models. The 64GB of retention successful this entry-level variant isn't a ton, either. But arsenic a pleasant-to-use surface for reading, streaming, web browsing, and playing the occasional game, the basal iPad is inactive plentifulness competent. It's accelerated capable for the essentials, it's inactive usable for lighter enactment erstwhile paired with a bully keyboard case, and it supports each the aforesaid apps arsenic immoderate different iPad. It's a boring device, but it works, and it remains a important step-up from cheaper Android tablets. Most importantly, it's acold and distant the astir affordable iPad, peculiarly astatine this woody price.

The caveat present is that Apple is expected to present a caller entry-level iPad by the extremity of the year. We don't expect a refreshed exemplary to get during the company's just-announced September 7 event, but if past holds, we could precise good spot it announced successful October. Recent rumors suggest this caller exemplary could diagnostic a large redesign that brings the instrumentality much successful enactment with the look and consciousness of the iPad Air, iPad Pro, and iPad Mini. (This could besides result in a removal of the 3.5mm headphone jack, though it's hard to accidental that for definite conscionable yet.) Either way, if you don't request a caller tablet close now, it's astir apt worthy waiting. But if you do, this is simply a caller debased for a tablet that was already a decent value.

Elsewhere, our deals roundup includes a caller debased connected Apple's 14-inch MacBook Pro—which, similar the iPad, could beryllium refreshed aboriginal this fall, but whitethorn inactive person entreaty astatine this woody terms for developers and powerfulness users who request a caller exemplary today. We besides person lower-than-usual prices connected caller well-reviewed OLED TVs from LG and Samsung, Google's Chromecast, Microsoft's Xbox Series S, HyperX gaming headsets, Intel CPUs, Surface laptops, and more. You tin cheque retired our afloat curated database of deals below.
