It's tempting to snag a tablet deal when you see one pop up at Amazon or Best Buy, but by and large the best place to purchase a tablet is from your mobile provider. While the deals look a bit more complicated at first (they generally require opening a new line and paying installments), they're dramatically better — and will help you hold onto more of your hard-earned cash.
T-Mobile users have their hands full when it comes to tablet deals, with record-low prices on iPads, Galaxy Tabs, and more. We've already rounded up the best options we found for you (and your bank account) at T-Mobile this week to keep you from analysis paralysis.
Best tablet deal at T-Mobile
Why we like it
While it's not the newest iPad on the shelves, the 9th generation iPad (WiFi + cellular) is still our top tablet recommendation for most people. Hailing from 2021, its A13 chip isn't the latest or greatest, but it's certainly still powerful enough to do all the basic tasks you need it to — from browsing the web to streaming video to taking notes. T-Mobile is currently running a 50% off deal on this bad boy when you open a new mobile internet line, which knocks its price down to a record-low $229.99 (broken down into monthly payments). For comparison, the WiFi-only model reached a record-low of $249 during Cyber Week.
