If you’re in the market for a new tablet, this may be the best time to buy.
Black Friday and Cyber Monday have morphed over the years to a weeks-long online and retail discount extravaganza, and it’s hard to tell what’s a good deal and what’s a common price masquerading as a big discount. Apple doesn’t often sell its products for less than retail price at its own store, but other outlets do, and the end of November can be one of the best times to pick up some new gear while saving a few bucks. If you want a new iPad, this may be the best time to buy. We think the iPad Air is probably the price, features, and performance sweet spot for most users, but the standard iPad is extremely affordable and great for kids, and the iPad Pro is crazy-fast and killer for power users. Don’t forget there’s a new iPad mini as well, and the more compact form makes it a really great e-reader and media consumption device for travel. We haven’t seen any significant discounts on either the iPad Air or the iPad mini this week so far. 11-inch iPad Pro (512GB): $979 ($120 off) 12.
