Today’s best tech deals: iPad, Fitbit, Bluetooth speakers, and more
Ars Technica

We’re inching closer to Black Friday, but today’s Dealmaster has a few good deals for those in need of new tech in the meantime.

Our roundup includes Apple’s latest-generation iPad for $299, which is a $30 discount from Apple’s MSRP for a tablet we still consider commendable for casual users. Beyond that, one of Fitbit’s newest fitness trackers, the Charge 4, is down to a new low of $100, while Apple’s AirPods Pro are still available for their all-time low of $194. We have discounts on recommended Bluetooth speakers, USB-C chargers, and games as well, plus half off a year of NBC’s new Peacock service and a good price on an Instant Pot.

You can take a look at the full rundown below.
