The Apple 12.9-inch Pro M2 is the perfect starting point in your iPad Pro journey, mostly because it’s still supremely powerful. It has the M2 chip that has previously been seen in MacBooks and offers an 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU. In conjunction with that is its gorgeous 12.9-inch Liquid Retina XDR display, which has ProMotion support, True Tone, and P3 wide color. That means a vibrant screen that works well in bright surroundings, all while adjusting its temperature to your needs. There’s also a 12MP wide camera, 10MP Ultra wide camera, and a LiDAR scanner for immersive AR. A 12MP Ultra Wide lens is great for video calls too thanks to its Center Stage support. With extensive support for accessories, the Apple 12.9-inch iPad Pro M2 is perfect for using as a laptop as well as tablet. Bear in mind there’s 256GB of storage here, so more may be needed for video editing or other memory-intensive tasks.

If you need more storage and don’t mind a slightly smaller display, the 11-inch iPad Pro M2 with 1TB of storage is one of the best tablets for your situation. The 11-inch Liquid Retina display still looks great thanks to its ProMotion, True Tone, and P3 wide color support. Similarly, the M2 chip will fly with its 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU. Even better, this model has cellular support, so you don’t have to rely solely on a Wi-Fi connection. Instead, it’s possible to use the cellular connection when on the move, which can be useful if you need a tablet to use while traveling.

One of the best smartwatch deals today is also on one of my personal favorite devices and one that has greatly encouraged me to run more throughout the last few months. Today, you can buy the Garmin Forerunner 265 smartwatch for $100 off at Best Buy -- for $350 instead of $450. It’s effectively like having a personal trainer on your wrist, so it’s worth every cent. If you’re looking to enhance your runs and general performance, this is the watch for you. The deal is on until September 22, so let’s take a little look at what it has to offer.

Why you should buy the Garmin Forerunner 265
When we reviewed the Garmin Forerunner 265, we called it “a new standard for fitness watches.” That is definitely how I felt when I spent time with it. One huge highlight is its great looking AMOLED panel, which offers deep blacks and vibrant colors. Having tried cheaper Garmin watches, it’s that screen that instantly makes the Garmin Forerunner 265 much classier to use.

The Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra, the “king of tablets” (in 2022), is $450 off

If you’re looking for great Samsung tablet deals, aim for the top and get the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra while it’s $450 off right now at Best Buy. One of the best tablet deals around, it normally costs $1,100 but today, you can buy it for $650, which is a considerable discount on a tablet we once referred to as the “king of tablets.” The deal lasts until September 15, so you have a little time to decide -- but you certainly won’t be disappointed. Here’s what to know about it.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra
Back in 2022, we described the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra as a tablet “unlike any other.” It has a huge 14.6-inch screen -- bigger than some laptops offer. The sAMOLED screen has a vast resolution of 2960 x 1848 and a 120Hz refresh rate. Like the rest of the tablet, it’s built with power users in mind. Such a big size means it’s not really designed for portability, but it does focus on how it can help you work from home better. It comes with an S Pen stylus for sketching out ideas or writing notes, for instance, with power which continues to rival some of the best 2-in-1 laptops.
