Early Black Friday deals on tablets: Get discounts on Apple, Samsung, Google, and more

Black Friday is just a few weeks away, but there are already some great deals happening. From Apple and Samsung to Google and Amazon, we’ve found amazing discounts on amazing tablets. From high-performance slates for work to rugged devices to entertain the kids, we’ve found them all, and more on the way. Read about early Black Friday tablet sales.

Ahead of Black Friday, the new iPad Air is on sale at the best price ever. Even though it’s only 17% off, this is the best discount we have for a while. In our review of the iPad Air, we praised the M2 chip’s strong performance, beautiful screen, and excellent camera, earning it an “Excellent” rating and an Editors’ Choice award.

The Google Pixel Tablet is currently 20% off, which is just $5 off the absolute price we’ve seen so far. In our review of the Google Pixel Tablet, our experts said that it bridges the gap between tablet and smart display surprisingly well. It handles multitasking with ease, is a great media slate, and works great as an oversized smart display.

Another tablet that we found to be “superior” is the Amazon Fire Max 11. It is currently available at an all-time high price. In our review, we note that this tablet has a large, bright display and delivers great performance, especially for a very affordable tablet. I still don’t understand how limited the app selection is, but there’s not much you can do about it.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ may not be available at the same low price as Prime Day, but it’s still a solid $50 off. We reviewed the Galaxy Tab A9+ and found it to be “excellent” thanks to its low price and large screen, earning it our Editors’ Choice award. Expand your storage by inserting a microSD card.

The 9th generation iPad Air has been reduced to its highest price. Whether you’re streaming content, playing games, taking notes, or simply scrolling through social media, it received an “Excellent” rating and Editor’s Choice award for its strong performance.
