If you want to entertain your kids for less, we’ve spotted the best tablet deal for you. You won’t have to spend a fortune on the latest iPad to keep your child happy. Right now at Walmart, you can buy the Contixo 7-inch Kids Tablet for just $40. It usually costs $81, but it’s now even more affordable thanks to the $41 discount. If you’re keen to learn more, read on while we take you through it. It’s the ideal first tablet for most kids.

Why you should buy the Contixo 7-inch Kids Tablet

The Contixo 7-inch Kids Tablet is designed for kids between ages three and 12. It has a simple but good looking 7-inch screen with a resolution of 1024 x 600. It also runs Android 13 and boasts a battery life of six hours. None of that might compete with the very best tablets, but it’s a good starting point for young children.

It offers 32GB of storage with the ability to expand to 128GB. Crucially, it comes preloaded with over 200 teacher-approved games and activities, so it’s perfect for enhancing language skills, and it supports STEM education too. If you’re interested in encouraging critical thinking and problem-solving abilities, this is the perfect way to do so. Through the Wi-Fi connection, you can also access additional learning tools, videos, and apps for a wider educational experience. The whole thing is designed with safety in mind, with the option to easily manage screen time and content for a safer environment.

Sure, this won’t rival the best Android tablets, but the Contixo 7-inch Kids Tablet has some great basics, right down to its simple charging via USB-C and its kid-friendly design, which means it can handle some rough and tumble. Learning always goes better when it’s fun as well as educational.

Normally $81, the Contixo 7-inch Kids Tablet is even more affordable right now at Walmart. It’s currently down to $40 with a choice of either blue or pink available at this price. The $41 saving won’t stick around forever, so if you’re looking for a great gift for your child this holiday season, snap it up now before you miss out.

The Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra, the “king of tablets” (in 2022), is $450 off

If you’re looking for great Samsung tablet deals, aim for the top and get the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra while it’s $450 off right now at Best Buy. One of the best tablet deals around, it normally costs $1,100 but today, you can buy it for $650, which is a considerable discount on a tablet we once referred to as the “king of tablets.” The deal lasts until September 15, so you have a little time to decide -- but you certainly won’t be disappointed. Here’s what to know about it.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra
Back in 2022, we described the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra as a tablet “unlike any other.” It has a huge 14.6-inch screen -- bigger than some laptops offer. The sAMOLED screen has a vast resolution of 2960 x 1848 and a 120Hz refresh rate. Like the rest of the tablet, it’s built with power users in mind. Such a big size means it’s not really designed for portability, but it does focus on how it can help you work from home better. It comes with an S Pen stylus for sketching out ideas or writing notes, for instance, with power which continues to rival some of the best 2-in-1 laptops.

You can buy a single AirTag for just $23 at Amazon today

There's a new angle to the competition between Apple and Motorola with the launch of the Moto Tag. Following the arrival of Motorola's Bluetooth trackers, the price of the Apple AirTag was reduced to $23 on Amazon, down by $6 from its original price of $29. The discount may not look like much, but the savings will add up if you're planning to buy multiples of the tracking device. We're not sure how long you'll be able to buy it at 21% off though, so if you're interested, you should complete your purchase immediately.

Why you should buy the Apple AirTag
The Apple AirTag is featured in our roundup of the best Bluetooth trackers as the top choice if you're using an iPhone. In addition to a seamless one-tap setup with iOS devices, the Apple AirTag uses Precision Finding with Ultra Wideband technology on the newer iPhone models to lead you to it if you've misplaced the item that it's attached to. If the object is further away, specifically beyond the 30-foot range of Bluetooth connections, the tracking device will use the Find My app to communicate with millions of other Apple devices to help you track its location. If you activate Lost Mode for your Apple AirTag, you will receive a notification when it's detected by any device in the Find My network.

Walmart is selling refurbished iPads for $99 today

The iPad Air 9.7-inch with Apple A7 chip, USA Essentials wireless earbuds, an iPad case, and an iPad screen shield.

While Amazon flashes huge Prime Day deals in our face, Walmart is quietly stealing the show when it comes to Prime Day iPad deals. The standout this week is the super cheap refurbished iPad as part of Walmart Prime Day deals. Who says Walmart deals are only good if they’re for a brand-new product? For $100, you’ll be able to take home a refurbished Apple iPad Air 9.7-inch model with Apple’s A7 chip, Wi-Fi connectivity, and 16GB of storage. Other bundle items include a set of USA Essential wireless earbuds, a protective case, screen shield, and charger.

Why you should buy the refurbished Apple iPad Air 9.7-inch
Whether you’re a student looking for an inexpensive tablet to take notes on, or a working professional that needs a reliable way to mirror graphs and spreadsheets to a projector, each generation of the iPad Air has prioritized portability and performance. This particular model (the Air A7) uses an older Apple processor, but that doesn’t mean your tablet is going to run slow. In fact, Amazon’s refurb process involves rigorous testing to ensure the iPad runs as close to like-new condition as possible.
