Two of our favorite iPad deals of all time are back today. 

For a limited time, B&H Photo has the 10.5-inch iPad Air on sale for $449. That's $50 off and the second-best iPad Air deal we've ever seen. (It was briefly $100 off during Cyber Monday). Meanwhile, Amazon has the 7.9-inch iPad Mini on sale for $349.99. (The discount is applied during the final stage of checkout). That's the best iPad Mini deal we've seen and a price we're not likely to see till Amazon Prime Day.

The iPad Air features a 10.5-inch Retina display, a blazing fast A12 Bionic processor, an 8MP rear camera, and a 7MP FaceTime HD front-facing camera. In our tests, we were impressed by its nearly 12 hours of battery life and powerful performance. 

If you want a smaller tablet, the iPad Mini sports a 7.9-inch Retina display and the same A12 Bionic CPU, which provides insanely fast speeds. In Geekbench 4 — a benchmark that measures overall performance — the iPad Mini hit a multiscore of 11,515, which matches the iPhone XS' score. (They both use the same CPU). 

The iPad Mini also sports an impressive battery that lasts 12 hours and 40 minutes. About the only thing we don't like about the new iPad Mini is its outdated design, which sports the same big bezel look as older iPads.
