By Jennifer Allen August 26, 2020

Keen to make sure you have the best devices with you when you head back to school? Right now, Amazon has cut the price of the latest iPad Mini by $50, bringing it down to just $350. It’s one of the best iPad deals out there at the moment and a fantastic way to close out your back-to-school sales spending spree.

The latest Apple iPad Mini is the best iPad Mini we’ve seen yet. It has a 7.9-inch Retina Display with True Tone and Wide Color so it looks great from any angle, no matter what you’re doing on it. An A12 Bionic processor chip means it will never miss a beat. That holds true whether you’re juggling multiple productivity apps or diving into the latest big hit on Apple Arcade.

For the more sociable users out there, it has an 8MP back camera for taking photos while out and about, plus there’s a 7MP FaceTime HD front camera that’s perfect for important video calls. You can even use it to record 1080p HD video clips if you feel like sharing your latest moments on a video sharing app.

It also has Touch ID fingerprint sensor support so you’ll know that your data is always secure even if you lose your device. 64GB of storage means you won’t run out of space any time soon.

Lightweight and with an up to 10-hour battery life, the Apple iPad Mini is a great bet for school or work. It’s light enough to easily take with you on your daily commute plus you can use it effectively to take notes while in class, too, all without worrying about running out of power any time soon. When you’re enjoying some downtime, its great Retina screen is perfect for kicking back and relaxing with Netflix or another streaming service. It’s a fantastic all-rounder, simply put.

Ordinarily priced at $400, the Apple iPad Mini is just $350 right now at Amazon. We can’t see stock lasting for long at this price so if you’re keen to embrace the iPad Mini lifestyle, you’ll need to be quick. It’s a great deal on a really useful tablet.

This mini PC, and I do mean mini, has a Ryzen 7000 tucked inside for $200 off

Geekom A7 Mini PC with AMD Ryzen 7 for gaming showcased.

Computing, or small computing, has come a long way in recent years. Thanks to renewed interest in more manageable desktop sizes, even for PC gaming, we've seen a boon in the small PC world, namely with small form factor PCs (SFFPCs). For good reason, people are more interested in systems that take up less space, are more efficient, especially with energy usage, and can be placed in new areas, like their living rooms. There is now a whole category of small and mini PCs, and although they are bite-sized, they still pack a punch. Take Geekom's A7 Mini PC, which has an AMD Ryzen 7000 series tucked inside. That's no slouch on its own, but it also has 64GB of DDR5 RAM, WiFi 6E, and AMD Radeon graphics that supports up to four displays. All of that is packed inside an ultra-slim, space-saving case about the size of a book. Incredible. The top-tier model is currently $200 off, down to $649 instead of $849, when you use code digitaltrendsa7 at checkout. That code is valid in the US and the UK.
