Snag an iPad on sale just in time for back-to-school season
Save $30: The ninth-generation iPad is only $299 at Amazon: 9% off its usual $329. This price puts it within $10 of its all-time low.
Today is the first day of August, which officially means we can no longer avoid back-to-school season. That also means if you happen to spot a good deal, it's not a bad idea to jump on it.
One such deal is for the ninth generation Apple iPad at Amazon, where you can grab the 64GB model for just $299. Though a $30 discount might not seem huge, this iPad rarely sees price drops below $309, and its price has dipped lower than $299 only once. In other words, if you've been waiting for the best time to buy, this is a pretty good time to stop waiting.
There's a reason we consider the classic iPad the best tablet out there for most people, from students to kids to people who've never owned a tablet before. Its A13 Bionic chip means it's fast, its starting storage of 64GB means you probably won't have to be selective about the apps you download, and its 10.2-inch Retina display means you won't feel cramped when taking notes or like you're lugging another laptop around.
