In case you weren’t aware, Amazon’s Big Spring Sale deals just landed. The event, which lasts through March 31, isn’t as popular or as advertised as Prime Day, but we’re finding great tech deals nonetheless. One such deal is on the Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet. It’s usually $140, but you can now get it for just $95. That’s a $45 discount available for you as long as you purchase the tablet before the end of the month. And, with a trade-in, you can get an extra 20% off of the price. Tap the button below to pick up one of the most affordable tablet deals we’ve found in the sale or keep reading to see if the tablet meets your expectations (and learn about the “catch” for this great deal).
The Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet bring a great combination of affordability and the latest tech. For instance, this model of the Fire HD 10 tablet, released in late 2023, is 25% faster than the previous generation of the same tablet while also getting lighter and having a better camera. It has a 10.1-inch 1080p screen, 13-hour battery life, and (for this version) a 32GB storage drive. This last point is relatively minor, however, considering you can expand the storage by up to a TB with a micro-SD card.
How does such a tablet get to be so cheap if it isn’t running completely substandard hardware? The lock screen — the screen that appears when you aren’t yet using the tablet but don’t have it fully turned off — plays ads. It’s pretty minor and, for a sub-$100 tablet, not a bad trade-off at all.
If you want to grab this tablet while it’s on sale, be sure to do so by tapping the button below before the deal ends on March 31. Remember, you can get this $140 tablet for just $95 while the Big Spring Sale from Amazon lasts. That’s $45 in savings. Additionally, prep your trade-in to get an extra 20% off.

Touchscreen laptops have been around for years. You can get them in all sizes and shapes. Just not from Apple. For years, the Cupertino giant has treated the idea of a touchscreen MacBook the way I treat a meeting that could have been an email: with open contempt. However, Wednesday looks like the day the company could finally change its mind.
The latest Apple invite puts the “Pro and Tell” showcase in Los Angeles at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET) on October 28, 2026. Instead of a regular live-streamed keynote, it is an invitation-only, hands-on event for a handful of press and creators (similar to what the company did for the MacBook Neo earlier this year).
Apple has just launched its latest iPad mini with a notable set of upgrades, including an OLED screen, improved speakers, and a more resilient build. It also gets a new chip, and the whole package costs $200 more than its predecessor. But if you look closely at Apple’s online store, you’ll realize that $699 isn’t enough to get you the most powerful version of the A20 Pro chip inside this tablet. In fact, even if you pay $800 for the 256GB model, you still won’t get the beefiest variant. Only when you jump to the 512GB trim, which costs an absurd $999, do you get the most powerful flavor of the A20 Pro.
The $999 model gets more than extra storage
Ahead of its October 28 “Pro and Tell” event, Apple has refreshed the iPad mini with an OLED display (the first for the mini line), the company’s latest in-house, Pro-grade chipset, and something else that made me read twice: an Acoustic Display design.
The iPad mini (8th generation) starts at $699 for Wi-Fi and $849 for cellular variants. Pre-orders start October 28, 2026, and general sales begin November 6, 2026.
