The iPad 10.2 has dropped to a new record-low price at Best Buy – and it's the first time this popular and highly-rated tablet has fallen below $200. This Apple tablet may be slightly older tech, but the 10.2-inch Retina display and A13 Bionic chip ensure excellent picture quality and superior performance to this day.

Apple iPad 10.9 (2022): was $349 now $299 at Best Buy
Best Buy has Apple's 10.9 iPad on sale for a record-low price today for Labor Day. Compared to the 2021 iPad, the entry-level tablet has a larger 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display, Apple's powerful A14 Bionic chip for laptop-like speed, upgraded cameras with 4K video, and all-day battery life.

Apple iPad mini, 64GB (2021): was $499 now $379 at Amazon
Amazon's Labor Day sale has the 2021 iPad mini on sale for $379 - a match for the previous record-low price.

The hand-held iPad is a fantastic buy if you're looking for a smaller tablet that still packs a fully premium specs sheet.

Apple iPad Air 13 (2024): was $799 now $735 at Amazon
Apple's latest iPad Air was just released in June but Amazon already has a pretty decent price cut on the 13-inch model. The powerful tablet comes with similar features as the last-gen iPad Air but upgrades the M1 chip to the M2, a processor that rivals a MacBook chipset and console-level gaming. Note that this isn't the record-low price as we've seen the tablet touch $729 briefly over the past few weeks. 

Apple iPad Pro 11 (M4): was $999 now $899 at Amazon
This is the first-ever price cut on the stunning new iPad Pro, a premium tablet that we claimed was "an absolute powerhouse" in our iPad Pro 13-inch (2024) review. While we tested the slightly larger 13-inch model, our praise still stands for this down-sized 11-inch version. You'll get a super powerful M4 chipset and stunning Liquid Retina display in the slimmest tablet that Apple has made to date. It's a pricey buy, but this is a machine that both professionals and those with deep pockets will appreciate.

Apple MacBook Air M1: was $999 now $649 at Walmart
While we've seen the Air M1 go for as little as $699 previously, Walmart has beaten that already excellent discount by a whole $50. Not only is this an outstanding price for such a powerful laptop that still holds up great for 2024, but this could be the last chance to pick one up now that it's officially discontinued. Don't miss this incredible deal if you're looking for a great bang for the buck MacBook.

MacBook Air M2 (2022): was $999 now $799 at Best Buy
Best Buy's Labor Day sale has the MacBook Air M2 down to a record-low price of $799. Even though a newer M3 version is available, we concluded that this is still one of the best laptops you can buy in our MacBook Air M2 review, thanks to the stylish design, clear display, impressive performance, and long 18-hour battery life. This is worth the investment for those needing a premium powerhouse for creative apps such as photo editing, video editing, and more intense workloads.

MacBook Air 13-inch (M3): was $1,099 now $899 at Amazon
The latest MacBook Air is down to $899 at Amazon - $50 shy of the record-low price. The brand-new model was released earlier this year and runs on the powerful M3 chipset, making it a great buy for creatives and anyone after a high-end device. Our five-star MacBook Air 13-inch M3 review praised its excellent performance, lengthy 18-hour battery life, and slick fan-less design. We think it's the best laptop you can buy now if you have a decent budget for a portable and powerful machine.
