The 9th Generation iPad is just $199.99​

The iPad of the hour is the 9th Generation iPad Wi-Fi 64GB from 2021, which, since August, has dropped to an impressive $199.99 (originally $329.99). This iPad is already sold out at most reputable retailers since it's the cheapest iPad you can get at the moment, but as of the time of this writing, Target still has them in space gray. If Target is out of stock by the time you read this, Walmart is the next best place to find them, but they're $249. You can read more about this iPad in PCMag's review.

The 10th Generation iPad is $70 off​

The next best iPad deal available is the newer 10th-generation iPad Wi-Fi 64GB, available for $279.99 (originally $349.99). When the 10th-generation iPad was released in the winter of 2022, it was considered the “best tablet for most people,” according to PCMag’s “excellent” review. It measures 9.79 by 7.07 by 0.28 inches, it includes the A14 Bionic chip, a 10.9-inch liquid retina display, 64GB of storage, a 12MP front and back camera, Touch ID, and a battery that Apple promises will last all day.

The latest iPad Air is $100 off​

If you're looking for the latest iPad Air, the M2 iPad Air came out this summer, and the 11-inch 128GB iPad Air is on sale for $499 (originally $599). Though not a huge discount, it's still impressive given it came out a few months ago. The new M2 chip gives it better performance than the older models. Some new features on the iPad Air include split-view screens, subject lift, and live text features. You can read more about the M2 iPad Air from PCMag's "excellent" review.

Keep in mind this iPad Air is a premium tablet that may be overkill for most people. As Lifehacker's tech editor Jake Peterson said, "They're overbuilt." But if you want the best, that's the one.
