There are 2-in-1 devices designed specifically to serve as a full-featured laptop computer and tablet bundled into a single, extremely portable device.

Some of the best tablets of 2023 can be a bit on the expensive side. Thankfully, you don't need a top of the line tablet for your every need. That's why we've rounded up the best deals from Amazon on tablet, so you can easily find the right device for the best price.

Google Pixel Tablet: $409 (18% off)

If you're looking for an extremely powerful and versatile, Android-based tablet, we highly recommend the new Google Pixel Tablet. After all, in makes sense that the company that developed the Android OS would know how to fully tap the power of its operating system when designing a tablet. There's a lot to like about the Google Pixel Tablet, starting with its relatively low price (even when it's not on sale).

The tablet offers a bright and beautiful 11-inch (2,560 x 1,600 pixel) LCD touchscreen display that offers a 16:10 aspect ratio and a maximum brightness of 500 nits. It comes configured with either 128GB or 256GB of internal storage. It's powered by Google's own Tensor 2 chip (in conjunction with Google's Tita M2 security coprocessor). Like the latest Google Pixel smartphones, the tablet does an impressive job using AI to help the tablet's various apps work seamlessly to share information in ways that can help users stay better informed.

One unique feature of the Google Pixel Tablet is that it comes with a Speaker Dock that not only charges the tablet, but when the tablet is placed within the dock, it transforms the device into a full-featured smart home hub, complete with access to Google Assistant. The tablet also has Chromecast capabilities built in, so it can wirelessly stream content directly to a compatible TV. The Google Pixel Tablet works seamlessly with a Google Pixel smartphone, smartwatch and wireless earbuds.

The Google Pixel Tablet measures 10.2 x 6.7 x 0.3 inches and weighs just 17.4 ounces. It's available in your choice of three housing colors -- porcelain, hazel or rose. Now being offered for just $409 at Amazon (but only for a short time), the Google Pixel Tablet represents a really great deal for a powerful tablet.

Why we like the Google Pixel Tablet:

It's the first tablet developed by Google to take full advantage of the Android operating system and interact seamlessly with other devices in the Google Pixel lineup.
The tablet offers a beautiful 11-inch display.
This is the first tablet to come with a Speaker Dock that transforms the device into a smart home hub.

This includes a quad speaker system that supports Dolby Atmos.

OnePlus Pad: $400 (17% off)

OnePlus is known for designing smartphones, tablets and wireless earbuds that offer cutting-edge features and plenty of power, but OnePlus sells its products for a fraction of what the competition charges for similar hardware. So, if you're shopping for a powerful and feature-packed tablet, it makes sense to check out the OnePlus Pad, especially now that it's on sale on Amazon for just $400 -- a savings of $80.

It also includes a 12MP front camera and an 8MP rear-facing camera. Use TouchID for easier logins.

Thanks to its all-day (up to 10 hour) battery life, you can stave off charging until later with regular usage. This version of the iPad will run iPadOS 10 (or later), so it can handle all of the latest, software-based featured incorporated into Apple's other iPad tablets.

Introduced in 2022, this version of the iPad Air has a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display and is thinner and lighter, compared to the various iPad Pro models. The 5th generation iPad Air offers performance up to 60% faster than the prior model, thanks to Apple's turbo-charged M1 chip.

The device boasts a 12MP wide-angle rear-facing camera that can capture 4K video. It also offers TouchID to unlock the device.

Apple iPad Pro (12.9-inch): $1,049 (5% off)

Apple's high-end tablet, the iPad Pro, features a 12.9-inch multi-touch (2,732 x 2,048 pixel) Liquid Retina XDR display, an upgraded camera system and a single USB Type-C Thunderbolt port. Looking for a traditional laptop-like user experience? This iPad is compatible with Apple's Magic Keyboard and the Apple Pencil stylus.

With it's 12.9-inch display, this is a much larger tablet than you may be used to in an iPad, but chances are, you'll appreciate the extra on-screen real estate, especially when using the its split-screen feature to run two apps at once.

$1049 at Amazon

Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE: $430 (37%)

Boasting an expansive 12.4-inch screen and compatibility with the S Pen stylus, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE offers a solid alternative to devices like the Apple iPad Pro and Samsung's own premium Galaxy Tab S7+. Keep in mind, this is not the latest version of the Galaxy Tab tablet, as the S9 series was just released.

This is a budget-friendly offering for anyone looking for an Android-based tablet that serves up a generous set of features, including optional 5G connectivity. Because it's a slightly older model, it's much less expensive that Samsung's current S9 series offerings. While the S7's performance may falter a bit with hardware-intensive tasks, it excels in general use scenarios.

Sporting a sleek aluminum design, this tablet is super stylish and available in black, green, pink, or silver for the Wi-Fi only version. If you're opting for the Wi-Fi + 5G cellular version, that model comes exclusively in black. Performance-wise, there's a choice between the Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G for the 5G model and Snapdragon 778 for the Wi-Fi variant, but not all of these models are currently discounted.

One of the tablet's most useful standout features is its 10,090mAh battery, which means you'll be able to use it much longer without having to stop what you're doing for a charging session. The tablet also includes a basic version of the S Pen stylus. It can be used to handwrite or draw on the tablet's display when using compatible apps.

While it might not replace your laptop for high-demand tasks, the Galaxy Tab S7 FE is still an awesome and affordable choice for streaming, note-taking and multitasking. And if you'd rather use it for binge-watching your favorite shows on Netflix, it's great for that, too. This deal is for the Wi-Fi only version of the Tab S7 FE with 256GB of storage.

Why we like Samsung's Galaxy Tab S7 FE:

This tablet uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 778 processor, which gives it decent overall performance speed.
The S7 FE comes with Samsung's S Pen stylus that allows for writing, drawing and sketching directly on the tablet's screen.
Its exceptional battery life means you're less tethered to an outlet for day-to-day use.
It comes in four different housing colors.

$430 at Amazon

Amazon Kindle Scribe: $265 for Prime Members (22% off)

The Amazon Kindle Scribe is a full-featured e-book reader and audiobook/podcast player. It also includes a key feature that other Kindle e-readers do not -- this e-reader doubles as a digital notepad. This means you can handwrite or draw directly on the display using a stylus. Using the integrated note taking app, you're able to create custom digital notebooks, and fill them up with individual pages containing your notes or sketches. These notes are stored within the Scribe, but can easily be shared when the e-Reader is connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi.

As you're reading, you can annotate the content of e-books with handwritten notes, or annotate PDF files transferred to the Scribe using the internet-based Send-to-Kindle feature. A "basic" stylus comes with the Scribe, but a "Premium Pen" can be purchased separately for $60. The benefit of the Premium Pen is that the top serves as a digital eraser (just like on a pencil). When not being used, the stylus attaches to the side of the Scribe using magnets. A three-month trial subscription to the Kindle Unlimited service is included, as is a USB Type-C charging cable.

The Scribe uses a manually adjustable e-ink display that can be viewed in any lighting situation, including direct sunlight. In a dark room, the 35 integrated LEDs brighten up the screen so you're easily able to see everything displayed. With the Scribe, you get all of the features of a Kindle e-reader, combined with useful note taking tools that allow the device to be used as a versatile digital notepad.

The device is on sale for just $265 (regularly $340) for Amazon Prime members now.

Why we like the Kindle Scribe:

With a Microsoft 365 subscription, documents can be transferred to the Scribe directly from Microsoft Word running on an internet-connected computer or mobile device.
Handwritten notes can automatically be transferred into text and then stored or shared digitally.
Using its WI-Fi connection, any type of content can be transferred or downloaded to the Scribe, so no computer is needed.
You can choose between 16GB, 32GB or 64GB of internal storage.

When is Amazon Big Deal Days?

The Amazon Big Deal Days sales event (also known as October Prime Day) kicks off at midnight PT (3:00 a.m. ET) on Tuesday, Oct. 10 and runs through Wednesday, Oct. 11, 2023.

What else is on sale during Amazon Big Deal Days?

During the Amazon Big Deal Days sales event, you'll also find big discounts across all of Amazon's departments, including home, tech, kitchen, fitness and so much more. This is the perfect time to kick off (and potentially even finish) your holiday shopping, without having to deal with Black Friday crowds and having the gifts you want to purchase being sold out. You'll find deals on luggage for your holiday travels, too.

Do you need to be a Prime Member to shop Prime Big Deal Days deals?

While some of the best Amazon Prime Big Deal Days offers are Prime-exclusive or invite-only, there will also be tons of deals that are open to all shoppers. So even if you don't have an Amazon Prime membership, there will be deals available to you.

If you want to shop the best deals, though, you'll want to sign up for a 30-day free trial of Amazon Prime. Prime memberships costs $14.99 per month or $139 per year, and include access to Amazon Prime Video (Thursday Night Football) and a number of other great perks.

Join Prime

What other stores are holding competing early Black Friday sales?

Savvy shoppers know that any of the Amazon Prime Day events offer the perfect time to find tens of thousands of popular products on sale from Amazon, including some at their lowest price of the year. However, many other popular online and retail merchants, such as Walmart, Target, Best Buy and even your favorite department stores, such as Macy's, all tend to kick off sales either at the same time or around the same dates as Amazon Big Deal Days.

Best Buy's 48-Hour Flash Sale is happening on Oct. 10 and Oct. 11, the same days as Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days.
Walmart's Holiday Kickoff sale will run from Oct. 9 through Oct. 12.

Do products on sale during Amazon Big Deal Days sell out?

You bet they do -- and sometimes things sell out within hours. If you see something on sale that you want to get your hands on during the Amazon Big Deal Days sale, order it right away. Often, quantities are limited. Once a product is sold out at the sale price, Amazon won't always restock right away and when it does restock, the sale price likely won't be offered.

Can products bought from Amazon during Amazon Big Deal Days be returned?

Unless it specifically states in the product description or near the "add to cart" and "buy now" buttons that the product being offered on sale is a final sale or not returnable, Amazon's regular return policy for that product will be honored.

On the right side of a product description on Amazon, just below the "buy now" button (and where it says "ships from and sold by"), look for the heading that says "returns."

If the text says, "eligible for return, refund or replacement within 30 days of receipt," that's the return policy that will be honored. However, you may be responsible for paying return shipping to Amazon, unless you drop off the product as a Whole Foods or Kohl's, which accepts some Amazon returns.
