Thanksgiving has come and gone here in the States, but as everyone turns to focus on the winter holidays I've got good news for late shoppers: there are loads of Cyber Monday deals still available if you know where to look!

I know because I review tablets for a living here at Tom's Guide, so I've had my face glued to the prices at all the major retailers for weeks. As a resut, I can tell you from experience that Apple's iPads are still available at good discounts, most notably the 11" iPad Air M3 or the bigger, beefier 13" iPad Air M4 for $100 off apiece.

However, if you're hoping to find an Amazon Fire tablet at a discount I'm afraid you'll have a hard time of it—the retail giant's tablets are either out of stock or back up to full price.

This is a nice discount on the base iPad with 128GB of storage, and it's one of the best iPads yet. In our iPad 11 review, we lauded this tablet for its improved speed, longer battery life and the fact Apple finally bumped it up to 128GB of storage by default. The pricedid drop as low as $274 around Black Friday, but that steep a discount may be off the table now.

This is a nice savings on the iPad mini 7 with Wi-Fi + cellular radio, though you'll be limited to Wi-Fi unless you pay for a cell line. This is a remarkably fast little tablet thanks to Apple's A17 Pro chip, and movies and comics look gorgeous on the 8.3-inch (2,266 x 1,488) Liquid Retina display. You also get 12MP cameras on the front and back and Wi-Fi 6e support.

Here's a sweet discount on the latest 11" iPad Air packing Apple's M3 processor, an 11-inch LED (2360 x 1640) display and 128GB of storage. I think this is generally the best iPad for most people because it's better than the basic iPad and doesn't cost as much as the iPad Pro; yet, it still offers nearly all the same features as the Pro. Check out our iPad Air M3 review to see what I mean!

Apple 13" iPad Air (Wi-Fi/128GB)

Here's a bigger discount on a larger version of the iPad Air M3 sporting a 13-inch LED (2732 x 2048) display. Otherwise, it packs the same 128GB of storage, 12MP rear camera, WiFi 6E support, and 12MP front camera. The larger screen is really worth it if you plan to watch a lot of videos, read a lot of comics or play a lot of games.

Apple 11" iPad Pro M5 (Wi-Fi/256GB)
Apple 11" iPad Pro M5 (Wi-Fi/256GB): was $999 now $927 at Amazon

This isn't a huge discount, but it's amazing you can get one at all given the iPad Pro M5 just came out last month and is Apple's fasted tablet yet. Not only does this iPad have Apple's fastest chip inside and 256GB of storage, it sports a lovely 11-inch Ultra Retina XDR OLED Display that makes everything you do on it look amazing. Check out our recent iPad Pro M5 review to see it in action!

Apple 13" iPad Pro M4 (Wi-Fi/256GB)
Save $100
Apple 13" iPad Pro M4 (Wi-Fi/256GB): was $1,299 now $1,199 at Amazon

Here's a heftier discount on the slightly older iPad Pro M4, which is still a killer tablet that runs circles around most thanks to its Apple M4 chip. The extra-large 13-inch Ultra Retina XDR display makes this the biggest and most powerful iPad you can buy, so if you want one, I'd buy while it's discounted!
