We've found some surprising discounts on some of the best tablets around, from high-end productivity models to no-frills kid-friendly slates.

The best iPad deal right now remains the iPad 10th gen for $259, which is 26% off. Note that this is in the blue color. You can also get the Amazon Fire Max 11 for just $139, which is $90 off. Seeing early savings on Apple’s newest release is a rare treat, making it a must-see deal for iPad fans.

I've tested every major phone release this year, and keep a close eye on the top deals and discounts from manufacturers and carriers -- especially during big sales events like Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
