Mid-October Tablet Deals – Top Picks Of The Best Tablets On Sale
It's the middle of October and we've started to enter the holiday shopping season since people start buying Christmas gifts earlier and earlier each year.
The large Prime sale is just behind us, but there are many select tablets that are on sale all the same, for a small October fest in tablets.
Here are my top picks of tablets on sale in the middle of October:
Apple iPad 9, the 10.2-inch is still on sale for a record low $249. This iPad can be used with a keyboard and pen, and still has some power, in addition to specs such as a 2160 x 1620 resolution display with 500 nits brightness, a 12MP front camera and 8MP rear camera, fingerprint reader, stereo speakers and dual mics.
Another top pick is the upgraded version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (SM-P613) which got a new processor. But it's still the same great 10.4-inch Full HD tablet with a Samsung S Pen included and a lot of apps for use with the pen. It's on sale with a record low price of $234.
Microsoft's top model Surface Pro 9 with i7 processor, 32GB RAM, and 1TB storage is as also on sale with as much as 27% off.
And among the smaller tablets, the 9-inch Android tablet Lenovo Tab M9 is one sale once more, directly from Lenovo for a record low $99.
Other tablets that are on sale in mid-October.
The Google Pixel Tablet is 16% off for the first time.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE is on sale with 11% off, but it's hard to make a case for it at this price, after the new model Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ launched this week.
Another useful Samsung tablet that is on sale, is the Galaxy Tab S7+, but this tablet too is old, even if it's still supported by Samsung with security and Android updates, and was their flagship tablet two models ago. So it's a great tablet with lots of high specs. It just isn't the most powerful in the class any longer, hence it's been cut by as much as 41%.
Among the very cheap ones, the 8-inch Lenovo Tab M8 costs just $85 with a 23% discount, but it's not the most powerful tablet in the world, so I can't really recommend this tablet.
The 8.7-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite has ended up at $119 as the new normal price for many days now since this tablet is being cleared out before the new model, Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 is released in the US.
And finally, the 2022 model of the powerful 13.4-inch Windows gaming tablet Asus ROG Flow Z13 is on sale for $899 with the Intel Core i5 processor, although this is still $100 more than the record low price we had during the Prime day earlier this week.
