If you completely spaced on Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days sale, you're in luck. Several deals are still live (though the event technically concluded early Thursday morning) including one of our favorite iPad deals.

As of Oct. 10, the standard Apple iPad with an A16 chip and 128GB of storage is on sale for just $279 at Amazon — that's $70 or 20% off its list price of $349 and its best price ever on record.

The 11th-generation iPad is nothing flashy, but it's not meant to be. Not every tablet needs to double as a laptop. The base model has a sizable 11-inch display, which is plenty of room for watching your favorite shows, browsing the web, reading, or using it as a drawing pad or journal (compatible with the Apple Pencil 1st generation and USB-C). It doesn't have an M-series chip like the more advanced iPad models, but the A16 Bionic chip will still deliver enough processing power for everyday use. It also packs enough storage space at 128GB to enjoy all your favorite apps without offloading them.

There's plenty of options to choose from when it comes to tablets, but if you'd prefer to stick to the basics, you can't go wrong with the entry-level iPad. It's our top pick for a tablet for most people and our favorite budget pick for Apple users. And at an all-time low $279, it's an even better value than usual.
