If you’ve been thinking about spending your holiday gift cards on a new iPad, the iPad mini is a fantastic option, with an ultraportable design and powerful processor. And it doesn’t hurt that it’s 20 percent off at Amazon today, which means you can get one for $399, a savings of $100, and the best price we’ve seen since Black Friday.
What separates the iPad mini from other tablets is its screen. While the iPad, iPad Air, and iPad Pro all have 11-inch displays, the iPad mini has an 8.3-inch display that is large enough to comfortably do just about anything but small and light enough to slide into any bag and even some pockets. Otherwise, it can do just about anything a larger iPad can do, with an A17 Pro chip powerful enough to support Apple Intelligence.
We gave the iPad mini a 4-star rating when we reviewed it and loved the performance, size, and battery life. And it only got better with iPadOS 26 in the fall. So grab this Apple iPad mini A17 Pro for $399 before the deal expires and enjoy everything this super portable tablet has to offer.
