Is your summer travel booked? If you’re getting ready to jet set or hit the road but don’t want to lug your laptop around, then it might be time to consider a tablet. Our favorites for performance and overall value are Apple’s iPads. So with Prime Day quickly approaching, running from June 23 to 26, we’re looking for the best deals on Apple’s tablets.
We’re still about two weeks out from Prime Day, but iPads are already on sale. Don’t get too excited, though. While we found deals on every single iPad model, the markdowns are pretty minor. The good news is, if you need an iPad before Prime Day, you don’t need to buy one at full price. Bad news is, you should probably wait until Prime Day for the best savings.
But if you need an iPad now, here are the best deals to shop ahead of Prime Day.

While we love the iPad Air and think it’s the best tablet money can buy, the basic iPad with A16 chip is still a stellar tablet. The 11th-generation model is a speedy tablet perfect for streaming, internet browsing, reading, and gaming. It’s a great value at full price and even better when on sale.
