Prime Day 2024 is coming very soon — Amazon confirmed the sale will run July 16 and 17. Now that we all have it marked on our calendars, we're officially on the hunt for early deals. We know the bulk of discounts won't arrive until Prime Day starts, but that doesn't mean some hidden gems won't show up on TVs, laptops, and more.

We're tracking the best tablet deals so you don't have to. With the launch of new iPads from Apple earlier this year, we're staying laser-focused on markdowns on the latest tech. We also expect to see prices slashed on older generations of still-great tech.

While it doesn't appear that the current savings are huge, that's because the latest iPad Air and iPad Pro are still so new — we're still seeing them at their lowest prices ever.

Note: All newly added deals are marked with a ✨, while deals with a 🔥 have dropped to an all-time low price. Amazon's exclusive invite-only deals are marked with a 📨.

Best iPad deal

Apple iPad Air, 11-inch (M2, 1TB, WiFi) 🔥
$1,024.00 at Amazon
$1,099.00 Save $75.00

Why we like it

The latest iPad Air is loaded with Apple's powerful M2 chip. The M2 processing speed impressed us when we saw it in the MacBook Air, and now it makes the iPad Air just as mighty. The latest iPad Air was just released in May, but we're watching its price drop and drop ahead of Prime Day. Currently, it's down to $1,024, giving you $75 off, which may not seem like a lot, but it's still its lowest price so far. Loaded with 1TB of storage and processing speed to rival a laptop, this is a certified good deal.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 (128GB) 🔥
$646.51 at Amazon
$799.99 Save $153.48

Why we like it

Among our ranking of tablets, the Samsung Galaxy S9 is the best Android option, and ahead of Prime Day, it's down to its lowest price ever of $646.51, saving you $153.48 for 19% off. It rivals the iPad and is the perfect antidote for those who want the perks of an advanced tablet but don't want to jump into the iOS ecosystem.

It has an 11-inch display, vibrant graphics, and an included S pen, so you can draw and take notes. It's loaded with the powerful processing speeds of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip. Plus, it's ready for your summer adventure with it's IP68 rating, making it one of the few water- and dust-resistant tablets. Take that, Apple.

Best Amazon tablet deal

Amazon Fire Max 11 tablet 🔥✨
$139.99 at Amazon
$229.99 Save $90.00

Why we like it

The Amazon Fire Max 11 is the best runner-up to the iPad among the tablets we tested. It's extremely budget-friendly, starting at $229.99. This is best for someone who doesn't need a ton of processing speed or storage — it only has 4GB RAM and 64GB storage. However, if you're on a budget, it might be worth the sacrifice. Plus, this early Prime Day deal brings the Amazon Fire Max 11 to its best price ever of $139.99, taking $90 off for 39% savings.
