The Best Tablet Deals for July 2023: Apple iPads, Samsung Galaxy Tabs, More

Beat the heat by staying indoors or in the shade with a tablet: Get your reading, writing, and binge-watching done without breaking a sweat. Tablets are versatile—they get the job done and can be slipped into a purse or backpack afterward. Unlike with a traditional laptop, you likely won’t need to be tethered to an outlet, and many tablets include apps to streamline activities such as reading ebooks.

With a tablet, you can stream music and video, check and respond to email, run mobile games, read ebooks, surf the web, and more. The main difference between models is the operating system—iPadOS, Android, or Windows. Also important are the processor and amount of on-board memory. And you need to weigh what you want in terms of cost, weight, storage capacity, camera quality, battery life, and connectivity, among other considerations.

If you’re going to be using your tablet primarily for reading, consider going with an ebook reader instead. They’re often cheaper than tablets, they’re easier on your eyes, and they can serve as notepads as well as mini-libraries.

For those looking for something to completely replace a laptop, many tablets can connect to a removable keyboard, but you could also opt for a true 2-in-1 device that combines a physical keyboard with the versatility of a touch screen. Of course, when you’re using your device for resource-intensive activities such as photo and video editing or gaming, a traditional laptop is the way to go.
