The last-generation iPad remains an excellent option if you want a capable tablet without any of the supercharged power that came with the new chips. And it’s currently at a rock bottom price on Amazon – it’s just $199 for the first time ever. That’s 40% off.
In our review we praise this iPad for its clear screen and a front camera that’s ideal for video calls. This remains true for the basic iPad, even though it’s been superseded. In fact, the newer sibling got so upgraded it confused the iPad line-up, so for a tablet great for browsing, streaming and calls (and some light digital art with the Apple Pencil 1), this just works.
