Best Buy has one of the best iPad deals around but it only lasts for as long as today does. Right now, you can buy the latest Apple iPad mini for $400 meaning you’re saving $100 off the regular price of $500. A great and highly portable tablet, it’s sure to be a hit with Apple fans and more. Here’s what you need to know about it before you buy but remember that you only have until the end of the day to grab it for this price.

Why you should buy the Apple iPad mini

The best iPad around for anyone seeking something small, the Apple iPad mini is a “little powerhouse” as our review explains. It has an 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display with True Tone and wide color support so it’s small but looks gorgeous. It’s powered by an A15 Bionic chip so it can handle quite a lot including many games or simply multitasking.

Adding to its entertainment credentials and its chances of being one of the best tablets to take on your travels, the Apple iPad mini has landscape stereo speakers to ensure it packs an aural punch compared to its size. It also has a 12MP Wide back camera, and 12MP Ultra Wide front camera with Center Stage support. The latter means you’ll always remain the focus on any video calls even if you’re moving around.

The Apple iPad mini is available in many different colors so it matches your aesthetic well while it offers up to 10 hours of battery life so it’s good for use throughout the day. There’s also Touch ID support to keep your data secure. If you plan on working with it, you can use the Apple Pencil (2nd generation) and Apple Pencil (USB-C) to sketch out designs or write up notes. It all means the Apple iPad mini is impressively versatile for its price and size making it a useful tablet to toss into your bag.

Normally, you’d pay $500 for the Apple iPad mini but right now, Best Buy has discounted the tablet to just $400 so you’re saving $100 off the regular price. A fantastic deal, it ends when the day does so you only have a matter of hours left to snag the discount. Check it out now before you miss out.

Buying one of the best phones is a big deal. It’s likely to be the main piece of tech you use throughout the day so you want to make the right decision for your needs. When it comes to folding phones, you get a cooler looking design than the typical smartphone design aka the candy-bar look. It feels a little futuristic and a little daring. Ultimately, it's going to stand out from the crowd. A folding phone often means additional benefits like an extra screen or larger screen too, all while still easily fitting in your pocket. In the past, folding phones could be pretty expensive but we’re seeing a more diverse range these days with some much more affordable options around. Such variety is great to see for anyone keen to try something different. Depending on the model you go for, you’ll probably pay roughly the same amount as you would with a regular looking smartphone. It’s the perfect chance to buy something a little different from the crowd. Two major players are the premium and high-end Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 along with the latest Motorola Razr.

While early Memorial Day tablet deals cover a lot of ground, if you're interest in Galaxy Tab products, these are the best Memorial Day sales that we're seeing at this time. Many of these deals come straight from the pages of the best Samsung tablets, in case you want to make a comparison shop. Note that the S9 FE is less costly that the S8's in the list, as it is a paired down machine in terms of power. Of all of the Galaxy Tab products available in the early Memorial Day deals that we've uncovered so far, the most powerful is the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra, which is a fantastic screen but a bit expensive to buy at regular price. In other words, now is the time to grab it if you ever will. Also, while this isn't true for all of the models listed below, if you aren't happy with the initial configuration of the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra (maybe you want more RAM or storage) you can feel free to poke around the options quite a bit. Most of the other configurations are, at least at this time ahead of Memorial Day, on sale too.
