Apple iPad Pro (11-inch, M4) for $899 ($100 off): Recognized as the best tablet money can buy, the iPad Pro features an exceptional screen and is impressively lighter than previous iPad Air models. Ideal for heavy productivity tasks like video rendering, editing, and machine learning applications, this device is a powerhouse that won’t disappoint.
Apple iPad Pro (13-inch, M4) for $1,099 ($200 off): The larger iPad Pro serves as the ultimate laptop replacement. With its speedy M4 chip, it outperforms many traditional computers, while its lightweight design enhances portability. Users can enjoy over 10 hours of battery life, making it perfect for a full day of work. Although the price is high, this Prime Day sale offers some relief.
Apple iPad Mini (A17 Pro) for $399 ($100 off): The compact iPad Mini earned an impressive review score of 83 upon its release last year. Despite its size, it is a fully-featured tablet, supporting various accessories and boasting a laminated, anti-reflective screen. While not a laptop replacement, it excels as a portable companion for gaming, video streaming, web browsing, and managing emails.
MacBook Air (M4, 15-inch) for $1,049 ($150 off): For those seeking a larger screen, the 15-inch MacBook Air offers an immersive experience without sacrificing portability.

Apple AirTags (4-pack) for $75 ($42 off): Renowned for their ability to track items effortlessly, AirTags are considered the best Bluetooth trackers for iPhone users.
