Apple's 10th-Gen iPad Is as Low as $279, Grab Yours Now

1 week ago 3

Is it finally time to upgrade your old tablet? Or maybe you're finishing up the last of your holiday shopping list. Either way, when it comes to tablets, one of the first options that probably comes to mine is the iPad. Just like all Apple products, brand-new iPads can be pretty costly, unless you find a hot deal on one. Fortunately, we just did. Right now, you can score the 10th-gen iPad for only $19 more than it was on Black Friday. It's a 2022 iPad with an A14 Bionic chip, making it pretty fast with a brilliant display -- and it's currently available for as low as $279 at Best Buy. That's $70 less than the list price.

Prefer to shop elsewhere? Both Walmart and Amazon have price-matched Best Buy's deal, for now.

There are several improvements over its predecessor, including a larger 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display, an improved 12-megapixel camera, better speakers and the A14 Bionic chip for faster performance. It's also swapped in USB-C. This model comes with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, as well as Center Stage, which makes it excellent for video calling. 

Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.   

It's worth noting that this iPad is not compatible with the Apple Pencil 2 or the new Apple Pencil Pro, so you'll have to use the first-gen model and a USB-C dongle or grab the USB-C Pencil, both of which are sold separately. That said, our main gripe with this iPad was the cost over the older (but still functional) ninth-gen model -- but this price cut solves that problem.
