A similar discount on Amazon drops the new iPad to $320 with an option to get another $50 off when you apply for an Amazon Rewards Visa card. Hurry and place your order now while these deals are live.

When we reviewed the seventh-generation Apple iPad, we found that it is one of the top options for buyers on a budget. This newly released tablet quickly made it to the top of its class thanks to the new iPadOS. This well-designed operating system can transform the iPad into an affordable entry-level 2-in-1.

The iPadOS offers several improvements to the Apple iPad. This update brings the ability to use multiple apps in the Slide Over menu. It also enhances the Split View, allowing users to have multiple windows of the same app open. Another welcome feature is the desktop-grade Safari. These features integrated well into our workflow, which relies on WordPress. We were actually able to write the review for the new iPad using the new iPad, so we can vouch for this tablet’s ability to stand in for your laptop.

With a bigger 10.2-inch screen, the latest iPad offers more space for multitasking. Apple also updated it to be compatible with the Smart Keyboard. But we recommend a third-party keyboard if you want a more comfortable portable workstation.

If you are on the market for a reasonably priced tablet that you can use for productivity tasks and entertainment, the seventh-generation Apple iPad is one of your best options. This tablet is durable and will receive support from Apple for many years. And with these

iPad deals

from Walmart and Amazon, you can take home this iPadOS device for $10 below its normal $329. Order yours now from these retail stores to

save on the newest tablet from Apple.

I have Meta Quest 3S and this is the best VR accessory yet — it’s on sale
Kiwi Design best VR accessory Meta Quest 3 headstrap

Ahead of the holidays and some prime family time, I've picked up the Meta Quest 3S. So far, my family is absolutely loving it, and my kids are constantly bugging me to play games, explore worlds, and get virtual. Naturally, I manage the time we're all spending -- you don't want too much screen time. But regardless, every one of us ends up becoming immersed, which means spending a lot of time with the headset on. One of the biggest drawbacks of the stock setup is that the headstrap is uncomfortable, and it puts a lot of pressure on your face. That means, the Meta Quest 3S's best VR accessory -- and the Meta Quest 3, too -- is a new, custom strap.

We grabbed the Kiwi Design Quest 3-Quest 3S headstrap and it's fantastic. It's also on sale right now for 20% off. Normally $30, it's discounted to $24 with a coupon code. Why am I sharing? If you pick up a Meta Quest 3 or 3S for yourself, or you're planning to gift one to someone over the holidays, I highly recommend ordering one of these straps. It vastly improves the experience and makes wearing the headset much more comfortable. It's also easy to adjust the fit, which is a big deal for kids. You have no idea how frustrating it was to constantly adjust the headstrap for my children between each turn.
