Get Your Hands On the Best Early Memorial Day Tablet Deals from Apple, Samsung, and More

Somehow, my phone always feels too small, and my laptop’s just too much, which is exactly where a good tablet steps in. And with Memorial Day right around the corner, the early deals are already live with some pretty tempting discounts. From lightweight Android tablets that handle streaming and scrolling with ease to iPads with all-day battery and enough power to feel like a laptop, there’s something here for every budget. We’re honestly excited for these and will be updating this list all week with the best tablet deals as they drop, so you don’t have to keep refreshing.

Amazon Fire Tablet Deals

The Fire Max 11 is basically Amazon’s way of saying “yes, we can do grown-up tablets too.” It’s got a vivid 11-inch display that’s great for bingeing, sketching, reading, or tapping through 14 tabs while pretending to relax. You get 14 hours of battery life, optional stylus and keyboard support, and enough power to handle casual gaming without stuttering. Our expert, Dave LeClair reviewed the Amazon Fire Max 11 and gave it an Excellent rating, calling it “the most powerful Fire tablet yet.” It’s currently down to $174.99 from $229.99, which makes this deal pretty hard to ignore. I wouldn’t just sit on this one.

Samsung Galaxy Deals

This one’s for anyone who wants a solid tablet without paying the Apple tax. The Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ has an 11-inch display, upgraded chipset, and quad speakers that actually make YouTube sound decent. It’s slim, lightweight, and has a kid-friendly build, so it works just as well for work breaks as it does for backseat entertainment. Our expert, Iyaz Akhtar praised the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ and gave it a Excellent rating in his review, noting that it’s an affordable tablet with a big screen and decent performance for the price. It’s now $159.99, which is 27% off and a solid deal for everyday streaming and scrolling and honestly, simply chilling.

Apple, its iPads, or its discounts doesn’t mess around. The Apple iPad with the new 11-inch model runs on the A16 chip, has a gorgeous Liquid Retina display, and packs just enough power to flirt with laptop territory. It’s great for FaceTime, sketching, working on the go, or just doomscrolling in 120Hz clarity. Our experts always rave about these products too much. Eric Zeman rated the Apple iPad (11th Gen) as Excellent in his review and confirmed it offers tremendous value for an iPad. It’s currently $299, 14% off, and while that’s not the biggest discount, it’s the lowest price we’ve seen on this model so far. Fifty bucks is fifty bucks!

Microsoft Surface Deals

This 2024 Surface Pro is giving main character energy. It’s a laptop when you need it, a tablet when you’re tired, and basically a productivity machine dressed like a sleek OLED screen. You get the new Snapdragon X Elite chip with 16GB of RAM, so it actually keeps up when you’ve got 37 tabs open and Spotify playing in the background. Our expert, Brian Westover called it “the most exciting Surface Pro in years,” in his review. Right now, it’s marked down by $350, which is the lowest it’s been in a while (and way easier to justify than your last impulse buy).

Tablets are doing the most right now and so are these deals. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to finally upgrade, this is it flashing in big bold letters. We’ll be keeping this list fresh all week so check back before your dream tablet sells out
