iPad (A16): Why you don’t need a $1,000 tablet for just under $300
The slate is powerful, has a great screen and is worth every penny.
I’m absolutely in love with the newest iPad Pro with M5 chip, and I do love the insane performance and the beautiful Tandem OLED display, but I can’t ignore the fact that it costs an arm and a leg. Sure, you could say it’s a long-term investment, and the $100 discount Amazon is currently offering on the 11-inch Pro makes it more tempting. But not everyone is prepared to fork out that kind of cash on a tablet, even if it is one of the best on the market.
Those who don’t want to splurge and just want to use their tablet for basics like watching YouTube and shopping on Amazon will likely welcome the deal on the regular 11-inch iPad with the A16 chip even more. ** An iPad for less than $300 right now. Yep, this bad boy is on sale now for just under $300, saving you $50 off its regular $349 price. The deal is for the Wi-Fi version with 128GB of storage, but you can also save $50 on the cellular model. So if you’ve been holding out for a **iPad under $300, now’s your chance.
I don’t think the deal will expire immediately, but I still recommend you act quickly. For one thing, I don't know how long the offer will be valid. First of all, the tablet offers a ton of value at its current price of less than $300, making it a pretty hot buy you’ll want to pick up without a second thought. It’s not often you find a **iPad under $300** that can do so much.
The value of what you get
No, I’m not kidding. You get a lot of it. You don't get the fancy Tandem OLED display of the Pro, but the onboard LCD panel with 2360×1640 resolution delivers nice visuals for the price. It even has support for Apple’s True Tone feature for more natural colors. The cons? It’s limited to 60Hz refresh rate and 500 nits brightness. But you get used to the usual frequency fast and the brightness is good for inside. And maybe direct sunlight is a problem. But for iPad under $300, the trade-offs are easy to accept on an iPad.
Performance & battery life
Beautiful display, but if you wait for ever to open youtube, it means nothing. Luckily, the A16 chip is speedy and takes care of most things without breaking a sweat. It’s easy to launch non-demanding apps, scroll through Instagram, and catch up on tech news. Battery life is also excellent – the 28.93Wh cell delivers over 10 hours of web browsing and more than six hours of video streaming on a single charge.
The bottom line is
All in all, the regular iPad is worth its weight in gold. And now that you can get an iPad under $300**, it’s an absolute steal.” So hurry up and get this **iPad steal under $300 today!
