Whether you’re streaming or taking calls on the go, creating some fancy artwork or editing your videos, or simply looking for a backup to your laptop in case it conks off unexpectedly, a tablet will come in handy. With deals ranging from budget devices such as Kindles and Fire tablets to the more steeply-priced Microsoft Surface Pros, cupid’s arrows have struck sharp discounts on tablets ahead of Valentine’s Day.

Tablets in the Samsung Galaxy and Amazon Fire series are suitable value-for-money replacements in case an iPad seems out of budget. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lit(S-Pen, Wi-Fi, 64GB)(Opens in a new tab) was already a steal at $349, but it just gets that much better thanks to its discounted price of $249 at Walmart, which is $100 or 29% off its MSRP. The S6 Lite model received a good rating from PCMag reviewer Sascha Segan(Opens in a new tab) thanks to its stereo speakers, overall build, and battery life on full brightness, which is more than what the 7th Generation base iPad that was released in the same year can provide. The accompanying S-Pen safely attaches to the tablet’s side magnetically, and it’s also pressure and tilt-sensitive to avoid any potential damage. The low frame rates while gaming is not something to write home about, as is the lack of compatibility with the PC mimicking-Samsung DeX software platform. However, sketching and note-taking feel super-smooth on this tablet. With 64GB of space and a dedicated microSD slot for additional storage, you will never find yourself uninstalling apps to free up space on your device.

This list of deals would be incomplete without an iPad. Apple’s 2022 iPad Air (5th Generation, Wi-Fi, 256GB) is down to $649.99 at Amazon and Target, which is $100 or 13% off its MSRP, and just 99 cents more than its all-time low price(Opens in a new tab). The tablet deal is currently available at Amazon(Opens in a new tab) and Target(Opens in a new tab), although the latter is only selling the blue, pink, and space gray versions for this discounted price. The 10.9-inch display comes with True Tone and P3 wide color that offers a broader range of shades to make images look the way they were intended, while the anti-reflective coating provides comfort during prolonged usage. The tablet is equipped with Apple’s M1 chip, which has a better balance of performance and efficiency cores than the A14 Bionic chip used in the previous model, leading to improved overall performance. The 12MP front camera comes with the Center Stage feature to keep you in the shot during a work video call; however, it lacks the night, portrait, and depth-sensing modes that come with the 2022 iPad Pro. Nevertheless, with 256GB of storage, compatibility with the 2nd Generation Apple Pencil and other accessories, and a 10-hour battery life that can be boosted by a 20W power adapter, you have a well-rounded tablet that’s suitable for both work and play
