Apple introduced its first larger iPad Air this year, giving users a convenient step between the more compact iPad Airs of the past and the more expensive iPad Pro models. And you can now get the new 13-inch iPad Air M2 for $100 less at Amazon.

The 13-inch iPad Air gives you a beautiful big screen for working, watching videos or playing games, all powered by the powerful Apple M2 chip. It supports Apple Intelligence and the Apple Pencil Pro stylus, so you miss very little compared to the iPad Pro.

For most people, Apple’s Smart Folio is an iconic and solid standard case for the iPad. It’s the best all-rounder in Tom’s Guide’s guide to the best iPad cases and is available in a variety of cases.

iPad automatically wakes up when you open it and goes to sleep when you close it. It’s just as stylish as the iPad itself. The Sky Blue version for the 10th generation iPad is currently $14 less than the usual price on Amazon – a good time for a new look if you already have one.

Apple’s iPad Pro 11-inch M4 is the ultimate in portable computing. It is a powerful tablet designed for Apple Intelligence. Currently, the 5G cellular version with 1TB storage is $1,599 on Amazon when you redeem the $50 coupon.

In his review of the M4, Tony Polanco described it as the tablet he’s been waiting for, highlighting its strong performance, solid design and “incredibly long battery life.” While the price is high, especially the cellular version, it’s now $200 off.

Apple’s Magic Keyboard case for the iPad is so good you’ll forget you’re not using a laptop, especially with the built-in trackpad. I bought one when I bought an iPad earlier this year and it’s so easy to set up and use, but it comes with a hefty price tag.

Black Friday brings a 25% discount on the Magic Keyboard, bringing the price down to $224 for the black version, which is compatible with any 11-inch iPad Pro or Air.

There’s something about the iPad mini that gives off a more “sci-fi” vibe, even more so than the larger tablets or an iPhone. It’s portable but has a large enough 8.3-inch screen to be useful in a variety of use cases.

For a small device, it offers enormous performance. Brings many of the best features of its larger siblings into a smaller form factor. The Wi-Fi and 5G LTE model is currently $50 off at B&H, so you can now take it anywhere for less than its usual price.

Otterbox Defender

If you’re like me and are a bit heavy-handed with your iPad, dropping it or leaving it in places that might not be suitable for a relatively fragile piece of technology, then it’s worth investing in a good, sturdy case. Otterbox is one of the better options.

The Otterbox Defender series is listed as the most durable case in our guide to the best iPad cases. There is a good reason for this. It is a solid synthetic rubber and polycarbonate case with multi-layered protection. It also has an antimicrobial layer for hygiene and is currently available at more than 50% off on Amazon.

Apple’s 13-inch iPad Pro is not only a brilliant tablet, but with the case and a mouse it’s also a viable laptop alternative. The screen is stunning and in landscape mode you quickly forget that you’re not working on a traditional laptop.

The latest M4 Apple iPad Pro takes things to a whole new level, capable of running not only Apple Intelligence, but also models from other companies, as well as powerful games and graphics-intensive apps. With a $200 discount on Black Friday, this is an even more serious contender for a laptop alternative.

Apple Pencil is one of the best features of the iPad. It allows for a much more natural way of interacting with the tablet than just swiping your finger.

There’s currently a $40 discount on Amazon, bringing it down to the normal price of the previous generation pencils. This is a good time to get the accessories if you have a current iPad and didn’t purchase one when you bought the tablet.
