By

While tablets may not be an essential part of modern-day life like a phone or a computer, they have a ton of uses that make owning one an excellent utility. Whether it’s using them to stream content or play games, or, in the case of some of the best tablets, using them for work on graphic design, tablets can make a big difference. That’s why we’re happy to see some substantial discounts as part of the early Memorial Day sales. There are big discounts on Samsung, Apple, and everything in between, although if you can’t quite find what you’re looking for here, be sure to check our roundup of our favorite yearlong tablet deals.
