If you've spent your summer getaways hauling around both a laptop and a stack of books — cut that out. There's better tech out there that takes up a fraction of the space in your carry-on. If you've been jealously side-eyeing your fellow travelers with tablets, it's time to join the crowd. And for readers especially, we have just the thing.
Apple's iPad Mini is the smallest in the brand's line of tablets. At 8.3-inches, it has a nice hand feel, which is why we think it's the best iPad for reading. Whether you use Apple Books, the Kindle app, or Libby, the iPad Mini holds all your vacation reads. While it does have a smaller screen than other iPads, we found that it's still satisfactory for streaming on-the-go. It comes with the A15 Bionic chip, which isn't as advanced as Apple's latest M-series of chips, however, it's still speedy and won't get stuck buffering between apps.
This small but mighty iPad is an even better value than usual. It's knocked down to its lowest price ever of $379.99. That provides a nice $119.01 off the price to give you 24% savings.
