Apple’s iPads have been so phenomenally successful that for a good many people, the term iPad is synonymous with tablets. Even though Android tablets are getting better, many buyers prefer iPads for an authentic tablet experience.
If you want an iPad, the iPad 9 is the easiest model to recommend. A starting price of $329 makes it Apple’s cheapest tablet and at the moment, it’s $80 off. This makes it even more affordable than the higher-tier iPad 10, which costs $449, and the iPad mini, which retails for $499.
The iPad 9 sports a 10.2-inch screen. It’s powered by the A13 Bionic chip, so it’s faster than most more expensive Android tablets from a year ago. It even has a headphone jack for wired earphones.
When paired with a keyboard case, it can even replace your laptop for productivity tasks as long as they are not too demanding.
Considering the current sub-$250 price, the iPad 9 is a very capable device. Sure, it doesn’t look as modern as some recent iPads and uses Lightning, but those are acceptable compromises when you consider the fact that it is going to last you years.
Grab the deal if you want an affordable but reliable tablet for leisure and multitasking.
