Looking for a new tablet but don't want to ruin your bank account this early in the month? I've found some of our favorite tablets currently discounted at a number of retailers.

Right now, the 10.9-inch iPad Air (WiFi/64GB) is $449 at Amazon. That's notable for two reasons. Firstly, this is the best tablet we've ever reviewed and absolutely the number one pick for most people. That's also the lowest price we've ever seen it with $150 off rivaling the price cut Amazon put in place during its recent Big Spring Sale event.

If — like me — you prefer your tablets a little more portable, the excellent 8.3-inch iPad mini 6 (WiFi/64GB) is also down to $465 at Amazon now. That's a 6% discount from its usual $499 asking price and gets you the same great design (in a smaller package) as the Air with an A15 Bionic CPU, 12MP camera and USB-C connectivity.

Of course, the rumors are strong that Apple's next iPad refresh is only a few weeks away. But if the whispers are true, we'll also see a price jump on the new iPad Pros due to the presence of an OLED screen upgrade. If you're more interested in just saving than grabbing the latest device, check out these excellent tablet deals instead.
