If all you need is a reliable tablet for everyday tasks like streaming, checking email, or browsing the web, Apple’s latest entry-level iPad delivers good value — and right now, it’s more affordable than ever starting at just $299 ($50 off) with Wi-Fi at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy. This is its lowest price to date.
The 11th-generation iPad is a step up from its predecessor. It’s powered by Apple’s faster A16 chip, and starts with 128GB of storage – double the base storage. The new 11-inch display also gives you more screen real estate, whether you’re catching up on your favorite show or shooting emails. Plus, the tablet has a good front-facing camera and support for the Apple Pencil with USB-C, making the slate handle jotting down notes and hopping on video calls.
Of course, as the cheapest tablet in Apple’s current lineup, there are some features you’ll miss out on. You don’t get support for Apple Intelligence, nor is there support for the new Apple Pencil Pro, which adds extras like a gyroscope and Find My integration. Still, for casual work and play on a budget, this is one of the best iPad deals available right now.
