The weather outside might not be frightful just yet, but shockingly we're only two months away from winter. If your fall and winter plans involve reading, streaming the best new shows, or getting really good at Balatro, you'll want to head into the season with a capable tablet. Lucky for everyone, Amazon has a solid model on sale to kick off the week.

As of Oct. 13, the Apple iPad, 11-inch (11th Generation, 128GB, WiFi) is on sale for $279 at Amazon, marked from the standard price of $349. That's a 20% discount that takes $70 off the price.

The Apple iPad (11 inch) earns Mashable's choice for the best tablet for most people. Its size combined with its storage space and ample ability to multitask makes it a great option. "You'll be able to multitask without the system sputtering out, whether you're watching YouTube videos, playing your favorite high-res games, or just have a habit of leaving your apps running in the background," according to Mashable Senior Shopping Reporter Leah Stodart and Tech Editor Timothy Beck Werth.

Apple considers the iPad to have all-day battery life so it'll be great for cozy weekends on the couch. The 12 megapixel camera is great for video chats with family while arranging holiday plans. Plus, it's compatible with both the Apple Pencil and the Magic Keyboard Folio, both of which take the tablet to a whole new level of functionality.

While it's still at the October Prime Day sale price of $279, snag the Apple iPad, 11 inch and get prepared for cozy season. Plus, it'll be great for keeping entertained (read: distracted) during holiday travel.
