9th Gen iPad ($269, originally $329 at Amazon)

While this doesn’t have the most flashy design or fun colors like the iPad Mini, this boasts the classic iPad build with an expansive 10.2-inch screen. The bezels around the screen make it easy to hold this tablet vertically or horizontally, and you’ll likely feel right at home with the Home Button.

It’s nearly just as fast for most tasks--streaming, split-screening two apps, gaming, browsing the web, and FaceTime calls--with every other iPad, even the Air or Pro with an M1 chip. Sure, applications might open faster there, but the A13 Bionic chip here gives you a boatload of power for handling tasks. iPadOS 16 runs excellently here as well.

The front facing camera here is a sharp 12-megapixels, and it features Apple’s CenterStage tech, which will keep you in the frame for video calls on a bevy of platforms. It’s like having a dedicated camera following you with a producer calling the shots. This iPad also features an 8-megapixel camera on the back. The 9th Gen was a big upgrade over the 8th Gen in terms of storage -- doubling it to 64GB from 32GB.

So whether you’ve been on the hunt for a tablet, are shopping for back to school -- yes, with the first generation Apple Pencil this is excellent for note taking -- or are looking ahead to the holidays, the 9th Gen iPad is a perfect option, and it’s down to $299.
