Whether you're strapped for cash or still enjoying the monetary privileges of living at home, you'll find a tablet here that works for you.

Starting at $500, the iPad isn't the cheapest, but with the largest selection of educational apps of any tablet and access to Apple's iTunes U, you may never have to attend class again. Maybe.
Not really into the whole Apple thing, but still want a powerful tablet? The Infinity was made just for you. Or at least someone willing to spend at least $500 on you.
While its power can't quite match top tier premium tablets, you'll pay at least $100 less for the TF300. That's a $100 to be put toward further educational needs or some noneducational "needs."
