I got a nice sunrise surprise this morning. Sure, trees and power lines in my little corner of Texas were being hewn to the ground by the storms ripping across the central South, and I’m still without power as of this writing — but I have just enough juice in my power bank to inform you that we’ve found the best deal yet on the 10th-generation iPad. The 64GB configuration is down to $300 (up to $34 off) at Amazon in select colors when you clip the coupon. That’s a new price record for Apple’s entry-level iPad.
The latest baseline iPad now looks more like the pricier ones in Apple’s lineup, although it’s lost the home button and headphone jack and switched out the Lightning port for USB-C. And while it’s still on the A14 Bionic processor (compared to the M-series iPad Air), you don’t need to stretch for something more powerful than that if you’re only looking for basic browsing, entertainment, and light gaming. You’re still getting the newest versions of iPadOS, too, which should get even better after Apple makes new software announcements at WWDC in June.

More great deals to shop
Samsung’s Galaxy Buds 2 are down to $69.99 ($80 off) at Amazon, a new all-time low. The Pro model might deliver more robust IPX7 water and sweat resistance, but the Bluetooth wireless earbuds still deliver impressive features at this price. Those include good active noise cancellation, pleasing sound, and wireless charging. Read our review.
Apple’s newer FineWoven fabric accessories are notoriously bad. If you want something more long-lasting that won’t show signs of wear and tear as quickly, it’s wiser to buy Apple’s leather AirTag Loop when you can find them in stock. Normally $39, right now, you can buy the discounted AirTag accessories in select colors at a new all-time low of around $9 at Amazon and Walmart. Given that AirTags lack keychain holes, an accessory like this is necessary if you want to attach the location tracker to the likes of keys and suitcases, rendering this a good deal to grab while it lasts.
Woot is currently taking up to 50 percent off various Keychron mechanical keyboards, including the Keychron K8 with your choice of red or blue Gateron optical switches. Normally $89.99, you can buy it for half at $44.99. The tenkeyless wireless mechanical keyboard comes with RGB backlighting and can also connect to Bluetooth, Mac, and Windows devices.
