Best Memorial Day tablet deals: Save on iPad, Samsung, Amazon, and more

While tablets may not be an essential part of modern-day life like a phone or a computer, they have a ton of uses that make owning one an excellent utility. Whether it’s using them to stream content or play games, or, in the case of some of the best tablets, using them for work on graphic design, tablets can make a big difference. That’s why we’re happy to see some substantial discounts as part of the early Memorial Day sales. There are big discounts on Samsung, Apple, and everything in between, although if you can’t quite find what you’re looking for here, be sure to check our roundup of our favorite yearlong tablet deals.

Samsung is the main competitor to Apple when it comes to tablets and even whole ecosystems, and if you’re not in the Apple ecosystem, then Samsung tablets are some of the best you’re going to find. Even better, Samsung tends to have a lot more variety in prices, so you can find excellent mid-range tablets for a solid price. We’ve collected some of our favorite early Memorial Day deals below, but it’s worth noting that a lot of these have larger or small storage options that also have deals on them, so be sure to check those two.

Of course, not everybody is going to want to go for an Apple or a Samsung tablet, and that includes folks who are in the Amazon ecosystem and would prefer an Amazon Fire tablet. To that end, we’ve collected a few different options, including Amazon, Lenovo, and Microsoft. That way, you should find a pretty solid early Memorial Day tablet deal to your liking, regardless of what you’re aiming for.

The Apple iPad (10th Gen) is down to $331 for Cyber Monday

Are you ready? Cyber Monday is here and the deals are as green as ever. The Black Friday discount from Walmart on the Apple iPad (1oth Gen) is gone but the price is still low. The Wi-Fi, 64GB model is on sale for $331 (down from $349). It's not the most attractive Cyber Monday tablet deal that we've found but a discount is a discount. We're not sure for how long, though. Like with most Cyber Monday deals available, there's a chance that the offer disappears sooner than you think. If you want this device for a more affordable price than usual, we highly recommend buying soon.

Why you should buy the Apple iPad (10th Gen)
The Apple iPad (10th Gen), which was released in 2022, is the latest version of the base model of Apple's tablets. It's featured in our roundup of the best iPads as the one that you'd want to buy if you want to save some cash while still getting a great iPad. It's not as technically impressive as the sixth-generation Apple iPad Air, which tops that list, but the 10th-generation Apple iPad is about half the price while still delivering a really nice user experience with 2360 x 1640 resolution and 500 nits of brightness -- same as the sixth-generation Apple iPad Air -- on its slightly smaller 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display.

As you might have noticed, the Cyber Monday deals have arrived. One of our favorite deals features a discount on the Apple Watch Series 10. It's down to $329 (instead of $399) - saving you $70 for Cyber Monday. That's the lowest price it has ever been on Amazon, so if you’ve been waiting to treat yourself to the latest Apple Watch, this is a great time. It’s one of the best Cyber Monday smartwatch deals still around. Hurry, though, we don't know for how long.

 
Why you should buy the Apple Watch Series 10
As our Apple Watch Series 10 review explains, “the Apple Watch Series 10 is another strong entry in the Apple Watch family, and a (mostly) easy recommendation”. It has a new, thinner design than previous Apple Watches, along with a subtle but welcome screen upgrade. It also has a new speaker and improved charging speed, so it’s a good upgrade for existing Apple Watch owners.
