Dealmaster: The latest 9.7-inch iPad is only $250 today

Greetings, Arsians! The Dealmaster is back with another round of deals to share. Today’s list is headlined by the return of a popular deal on the latest 9.7-inch iPad, as the 32GB variant of Apple’s mainstream tablet is back down to $250. That’s $80 off its normal going rate.

We’ve highlighted similar deals a few times in the past and reviewed this model when it launched last year. There’s not much more to say about the base-level iPad beyond “it’s an iPad,” but that doesn’t make it any less pleasant for browsing the Web, reading e-books, streaming videos, and doing whatever else you’d do with a basic tablet. If you were thinking of getting one for your Mom for Mother’s Day, this could be a good opportunity to take advantage.

If you don’t need a new tablet, we also have deals on Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, Instant Pots, the Fitbit Versa, Switch accessories, and much more. Have a look for yourself below.
