This deal was totally unexpected and tons of shoppers are all quietly celebrating from their work-from-home setups while jumping off of their Zoom calls to buy this must-have tablet. This is clearly one of the best, most unprecedented discounts we’ve seen on an Apple iPad in a while so buy it now before you miss your chance.

The new 10.2-inch Apple iPad hits the trifecta by being stylish, powerful, and affordable.

The 8MP back camera and front FaceTime HD camera will allow you to take pictures as clear as your newest iPhone and have the least blurry image on your weekly work calls. There’s also Touch ID for added protection and built-in stereo speakers that almost sound as good as a store-bought speaker setup. The latest iPad is also compatible with the Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard so your next laptop doesn’t have to be a laptop. With the Apple Pencil, you can take even more detailed notes and illustrate all you want and the Magic Keyboard will allow you to have a more traditional PC-style setup.

For those who are on the hunt for iPad deals, you probably should take advantage of Best Buy's $150 discount for the Wi-Fi, 64GB model of the fifth-generation Apple iPad Air. From its original price of $600, it's back down to $450, which is what the tablet was going for during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. If you missed the chance to buy the device back then, you shouldn't let this opportunity slip through your fingers -- proceed with completing the transaction now while it's not yet too late.

Why you should buy the Apple iPad Air 5th Gen
The 2022 Apple iPad Air reigns over both of our lists for the best iPads and best tablets, primarily because of the power it packs for a reasonable price. You'll be able to watch streaming shows, play video games, browse the internet, and multitask between all of these apps without any issues. This is possible through Apple's M1 processor, which comes with an eight-core CPU for efficient performance, an eight-core GPU for amazing graphics, and a 16-core Neural Engine and 8GB of RAM for fast processing and rendering. The fifth-generation Apple iPad Air may be overkill for some people, but that only means you won't feel the need to make an upgrade for years to come.
