It’s been available for over two years, but Apple’s 10th-generation iPad is still the newest model available for the base iPad. Our pick for the best budget iPad is a great option for some last-minute shopping. That’s especially true right now, as Apple has dropped the 10th-generation iPad from $349 to $250.
This great discount comes courtesy of a 20 percent discount and a $29 coupon that you can apply on the product page. It’s available on the 64GB and silver finish Wi-Fi model. The deal also doesn’t include AppleCare+, but, for this great price, all the specs might be worth it.
Apple’s 10th-generation iPad has a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display with a 2360x1640p resolution. We gave it 85 points in our review, thanks to features like its landscape 12MP ultra-wide front camera and updated design from its previous model. It also offers up to 10 hours of battery and recharges using a USB-C port, so you don’t have to worry about a Lightning charger.

Of all the notebooks we’ve tested and reviewed recently, we consider Apple’s 13-inch MacBook Air M3 to be the best laptop for most people and its battery can last around 20 hours (depending on what you’re doing, of course). The MacBook Air M3 is also one of the lightest and thinnest systems we’ve reviewed, and it’s noticeably quiet thanks to its fanless design.
Although Apple recently introduced its new M4 chip in the iPad Pro, we won’t see it in the MacBook Air until next year. For now, the MacBook Air M3 is still a great laptop to buy, especially if you want a machine with good battery life.
Of course, not everyone wants a MacBook, and there are excellent Windows laptops and Chromebooks out there, too. Windows systems offer a variety of configurations, from budget to high-end UHD screens with gorgeous IPS panels that boast high nits for brightness.
Chromebooks, on the other hand, are more affordable and are great for users who work mostly online. Whether you need a powerhouse for creative work, a compact system for note taking, or a laptop that can handle movie night with the family, there’s something for everyone in today’s laptop market.
