The Apple iPad 11-inch: A16 chip, 11-inch Model, Liquid Retina Display, 128GB, Wi-Fi 6, 12MP Front/12MP Back Camera, Touch ID, All-Day Battery Life — Silver is on sale for $299, which is a strong price for this kind of tablet. You are getting a current A16 chip, so the iPad feels fast for pretty much anything you’d do day to day. If you like to stream shows, browse the web, scroll social media, or jump between a few apps at once, this chip handles that without feeling slow. Games that need more power run smoother too, and you do not have to worry about the tablet feeling old right away. At this price, you’re getting power that used to cost a lot more just a short time ago.
The 11-inch Liquid Retina Display is a good middle ground between size and comfort. The screen is big enough for movies, YouTube, and split-screen work, but still light enough to hold with one hand on the couch or in bed. Text looks sharp, colors pop when you watch videos or look at photos, and the brightness helps when you use it near a window or under bright lights. If you read a lot, the 11-inch screen gives you more words per page than a smaller tablet, so you scroll less. It also works well if you want to add a keyboard case later and use it like a small laptop for email, school, or basic work tasks.
With 128GB of storage, you have room for apps, offline movies, music, and a good amount of photos and files before you need to worry about space. This size is much nicer than the tiny base storage on older iPads, since you can keep your favorite games and streaming apps installed without always deleting things. Wi-Fi 6 means faster and more stable wireless on newer routers, which helps if you stream a lot in HD or play online games. You also get a 12MP front camera, which is handy for FaceTime or Zoom, and a 12MP back camera that is fine for quick photos, scanning documents, or short videos when you do not feel like grabbing your phone.
Touch ID is built into the button, so you can unlock the iPad or approve App Store buys with your fingerprint. It feels natural and saves time typing in codes. All-day battery life means you can take this to class, to work, or on a trip and not stress about finding a charger halfway through the day, as long as you start with a full charge. If you want something for travel, couch use, school, or light work that does not feel slow and has a nice screen, this deal at $299 on the Apple iPad 11-inch in Silver is a solid pick. You’re getting a modern chip, a sharp 11-inch display, strong cameras, and a full day of use on a single charge, all for a price that makes it easier to choose this over a cheaper, slower tablet.
