UPDATE: Jul. 15, 2024, 6:50 p.m. EDT This list has been refreshed with the latest deals on tablets live ahead of Prime Day, including a new Fire Max 11 and OnePlus tablet deal.
We rounded up the best tablet deals ahead of Prime Day 2024. Check out our top picks:

Prime Day 2024 is coming very soon — Amazon confirmed the sale will run July 16 and 17. Now that we all have it marked on our calendars, we're officially on the hunt for early deals. We know the bulk of discounts won't arrive until Prime Day starts, but that doesn't mean some hidden gems won't show up on TVs, laptops, and more.
We're tracking the best tablet deals so you don't have to. With the launch of new iPads from Apple earlier this year, we're staying laser-focused on markdowns on the latest tech. We also expect to see prices slashed on older generations of still-great tech.

Best iPad deal
Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple iPad Air, 11-inch (M2, 1TB, WiFi) 🔥 $1,024.00 at Amazon $1,099.00 Save $75.00
Why we like it
The latest iPad Air is loaded with Apple's powerful M2 chip. The M2 processing speed impressed us when we saw it in the MacBook Air, and now it makes the iPad Air just as mighty. The latest iPad Air was just released in May, but we're watching its price drop and drop ahead of Prime Day. Currently, it's down to $1,024, giving you $75 off, which may not seem like a lot, but it's still its lowest price so far. Loaded with 1TB of storage and processing speed to rival a laptop, this is a certified good deal.

Opens in a new window Credit: OnePlus OnePlus Pad, 11.6-inch (128GB) 🔥 $399.99 at Amazon $479.99 Save $80.00
Why we like it
The OnePlus Pad is the first tablet ever from the brand, and it came out swinging. Our sister site PC Mag (owned by Mahsable's publisher, Ziff Davis) deemed it a great option for existing OnePlus phone owners. Those used to iPad speeds might find the tablet a bit sluggish, but the drop to this lowest price ever can help make up for that — along with the four-speaker sound, an 11.61-inch LCD display, and long battery life.
Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Amazon Fire Max 11 (64GB) 🔥 $139.99 at Amazon $229.99 Save $90.00
Why we like it
The Amazon Fire Max 11 is the best runner-up to the iPad among the tablets we tested. It's extremely budget-friendly, starting at $229.99. This is best for someone who doesn't need a ton of processing speed or storage — it only has 4GB RAM and 64GB storage. However, if you're on a budget, it might be worth the sacrifice. Plus, this early Prime Day deal brings the Amazon Fire Max 11 to its best price ever of $139.99, taking $90 off for 39% savings.
