Prime Day tablet deals are providing solid deals up and down the world of iPads, Amazon Fire tablets and more. Yes, as expected, Amazon's cutting prices on its own tablets, which were already affordable and are now shockingly affordable in some cases. So let's figure out which Prime Day deals are right for your next tablet.
With some deals already over, let's see figure out the best Prime Day tablet deals still available. The best Amazon tablet deal brings the Amazon Fire HD 10 to $79 (opens in new tab), a discount of $70 (yes, that's nearly half off), and even though the Amazon Fire 7 is $39 (opens in new tab) ($10 off) right now, I'd still tell everyone to get the HD 10 instead. It's that much better of a tablet that it's worth spending twice as much.
And the best iPad deal gives you the 7.9-inch iPad Mini on sale for $349 (opens in new tab), for $49 off. That's nearly the cheapest price it's ever had. You can also save $30 on the just-released 8th Gen iPad for $299 at B&H (opens in new tab), an offer that Amazon already ran out of.
Other cheap iPad deals you can get right now are listed below.

Prime Day tablet deals — what to know
The iPad isn't the only slate you can save on. Amazon's Prime Day deals continue through the rest of today (Oct. 14), having started yesterday (Oct. 13), and Amazon's finally slashed prices on its own tablets.
While we were hoping to see the entry-level 10.2-inch iPad hit $250, it's still stick at around $299 — still a good discount for a brand-new Apple product. Check out our iPad (2020) review to see why this year's model gives serious performance gains. The higher-end iPads have also seen discounts, and don't be afraid of the 2018 iPad Pro, as our iPad Pro (2020) review showed, the differences aren't as severe.
Over in Amazon's land of Fire Tablets, the best deal is on the biggest of them all — and we're not surprised that the above sales show the deals get bigger the more you're willing to pay. And as our Fire HD 10 review explained, there's plenty of reason why it's the best Amazon tablet, with it's speedy octo-core processor, long battery life and USB-C charging. That being said, the testing for our Fire HD 8 review showed even more endurance, beating the HD 10 by 5 minutes on the Tom's Guide battery test. And our Fire 7 review shows why that tablet is likely best for the less-demanding users, though we are happy it finally has touch-free Alexa.
That being said, Amazon tablets don't get all the apps that regular Android tablets and iPads do. So, if you want every app? It pays to buy from Samsung or Apple.
