Why You Can Trust CNET Apple's Entry-Level 10.2-Inch iPad Is $50 Off Today
Pick up a new iPad for just $279, perfect for watching shows and reading the news.
It's true that some of the best tablets on the market today can be hugely expensive. But sometimes you just need a cheap tablet for watching Netflix, or for reading the news from your sofa without squinting at your iPhone. For those times, the 9th-gen iPad is a great addition to any coffee table, and right now you can put one on yours for just $279.
This iPad would normally sell on Amazon for anything up to $329. But ordering one today means you'll pay $50 less (that's 15% off) without any of the hoop-jumping that can sometimes be associated with these kinds of deals. All you have to do is place your order, and when you do that, you'll get a new tablet in no time at all.
This iPad might not have the bells and whistles of tablets costing five times its price, but it does come with a large, 10.2-inch Retina display with support for True Tone and the Apple Pencil. That makes it a good option for artists and note-takers alike, while the Smart Keyboard can also be used with this thing as well. Who needs a laptop, right?
The Apple-designed A13 Bionic chip powers this particular iPad and can handle all the usual apps and games, while the included front-facing camera supports Center Stage for great FaceTime calls. Other features include the choice of space gray or silver and all-day battery life that ensures you won't be tethered to that charger.
