The Best Tablet Deals for March 2023

As the dust settles after some of the larger sales of the year, temperatures are rising and so are prices for tech. Or are they? If you know where to look, you can still score some sweet deals on the devices you need—including the versatile and portable tablet.

Tablet users 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—whether that’s iPadOS, Android, or Windows—plus the processor used and the amount of on-board memory. You’ll also need to weigh what you want in terms of cost, weight, storage capacity, camera quality, battery life, connectivity, and more.

If you’re going to be using your tablet primarily for reading, it may be best to go with an e-reader. They’re often cheaper, easier on the eyes, and can serve as a notepad as well as your own mini-library. And for those looking for something to completely replace a laptop, many tablets can connect to a removable keyboard, but it’s probably wisest to look at a true 2-in-1 device that combines a physical keyboard with the versatility of a touchscreen.

Of course, if you need to do more heavy-duty tasks, a traditional laptop is still the way to go.
