Without a doubt, November is one of the best months of the year to buy new tech.
Why? Because it’s Black Friday, the biggest sales event around. And despite the name, many deals begin weeks ahead of the big day, which is 24 November in 2023.
In fact, plenty of discounts are already available. Some will continue until Black Friday and Cyber Monday (27 November), but others will expire before then.
If you’ve been considering a new tablet, now is a great time to buy one. And it’s not all about the iPad, either – there are plenty of great Windows and Android tablets to consider.
In this article, we’ll run through some of the best tablet deals available in the UK and US at the time of writing.
