As someone deeply rooted in the PC and Android worlds, it pains me to admit it, but Apple’s iPad is undeniably the top tablet choice on the market. It’s the very reason one sits on my desk, proudly under my main monitor.
Walmart is currently offering a fantastic deal on the iPad Air, bringing its price down to $399—a substantial $200 off its usual retail price. But there are a few things to keep in mind.
First, this deal is for the 2022 10.9-inch, 5th-gen iPad Air. Although it’s not the latest model, it still features the powerful M1 chip—same as in the new MacBook Air—along with 64GB of storage on the base Wi-Fi model. If a slightly older model is acceptable, this iPad Air remains a robust option.
Second, the iPad Air is only available in purple at this discount. If the color isn’t to your liking, consider a case or skin to change things up.
The tablet also boasts a USB-C port for modern data transfer, a 12MP rear camera, and a fingerprint reader integrated into the power button.
Such significant discounts are likely to be snapped up quickly. If it’s out of stock, keep checking back; availability can change rapidly.
