The best early Prime Day tablet deals

Amazon is coming in hot this year with the longest Prime Day run ever. What was once a simple one day event will now span four days from July 8 to 11. Once the first day of the sale kicks off, the deals will pour in, but leading up to the event, it’s more of a trickle of sales.

That’s certainly the case with tablet deals right now. While there are is a pocketful of good deals right now, we’re still holding out for more. Apple deals are especially lacking so if you’re looking for an iPad, we say hold out.

But if you want to get a head start on Prime Day deals, here are all the best tablet offers that you can shop right now.

Best early Prime Day tablet deal Why we like itIf you’re in need of a new tablet for your summer adventures, the latest basic iPad just dropped in price.
