Featured deal: Save up to 42% on Amazon tablets
As part of a larger Mother’s Day sale on its devices, Amazon has some very enticing offers on many of its tablets right now. Savings vary depending on which tablet and storage variant you’re shopping for, but it can be as much as 42% off the retail price.
The deals on the Fire HD 10 really stand out, with the 2019 releases on offer. That means they’re no longer the most recent devices in the series, but you’re only missing out on incremental upgrades. If this is no concern to you then you can pick up the 32GB Fire HD 10 for $94.99 ($55 off), or the 64GB Fire HD 10 for $109.99 ($80 off).

Amazon’s Fire line of tablets is one of the most affordable ways to dip into the experience, with some models starting well under $100. You can choose from a few sizes — 7, 8, or 10-inches — and all of the tablets run Amazon’s own Fire OS. You won’t find the familiar Google Play Store here, but you should be able to get by with the Kindle app, Prime Video, and more.

If you want to seriously consider replacing your laptop with a tablet, the Microsoft Surface line is the way to go. They often drop the mobile-based chipset for a full-sized Intel Core processor. You’ll also find larger 12-inch displays on the flagship Surface Pro line. The high-end Surface Pro X even lets you tap into 4G LTE connectivity for work on the go. Take a look at the deals here:
- Surface Pro X (8GB, 256GB) for $997 ($302 off)
