Most iPads are being discounted ahead of Black Friday, but the best deal is on the iPad Air with the M3 chip. We’ve determined that this is the best iPad for most people, with a better processor than the basic iPad, allowing you to perform almost any task on a computer. But at $449, it’s a fraction of the price of a laptop. It’s currently $150 off its $599 price tag, making it 25% off, one of the biggest discounts you can get on any iPad before Black Friday.

Ahead of Black Friday, it’s dropped to $389.99, saving you $160 for a total of 29% off.

After testing my way through the latest tablets, I won’t lie, the Amazon Fire tablets aren’t my favorite. I think they are behind the crowd in terms of processing power, plus Amazon’s app store pales in comparison to Apple’s or Google’s. That being said, if you want a cheaper tablet, check out the Amazon Fire Tablet. Amazon has big discounts on tablets, but I think the best tablet to buy from Amazon is the Fire Max 11, which offers the best speed and processing.
