When will the Black Friday tablet deals start in 2024?
To keep it simple: they have already. Although Black Friday lands on November 29 this year, retailers like Amazon and Best Buy are already building momentum with great deals on some of our favorite tablets. Amazon kicked off the unofficial ‘deals season’ with its recent Prime Day sale, which in turn inspired copycat sales from rival retailers.
Naturally, we expect to see the highest concentration of deals around Black Friday itself, but that won’t preclude retailers from offering a wide variety of tablet deals from now up until the end of November. Expect to see some great savings online and in stores long before the big day itself.
Is Black Friday the best time to buy a tablet?
Typically, Black Friday is one of the best times of year to buy a tablet. Retailers tend to offer their best prices during the sales season towards the end of the year. It’s been a big year for tablet model refreshes too, and there’s sure to be a number of iPad and Android tablet models waiting in clearance.
So whether you’re eyeing up the ultra-premium iPad Pro 13-inch, the class-leading Android OnePlus Tab 2, or the astoundingly huge Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra, there’s likely to be a great deal for you this Black Friday. Apple’s iPad lineup is in a strong position this year, which may mean we see moderate discounts, but this could drive harder undercuts from competitors.
What Black Friday tablet deals should I expect?
In the past, we’ve seen serious discounts across a range of tablets on Black Friday. Retailers like Amazon, Target, and Best Buy will almost certainly offer discounts on their supply of tablets, and we may see some offers from tablet makers themselves. Apple is unlikely to offer direct discounts, instead offering vouchers after the fact, while Samsung and others may just slash some cash from the price tag.
Really, though, third party vendors are your best bet. Last year’s Black Friday sales included a range-wide $100 discount on iPads at Amazon, with savings of as much as $200 on several Samsung models. At the lower end of the spectrum, this could push tablets like the base-model iPad, iPad mini, and Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE towards budget prices, meaning we could see very capable tablets sold for very reasonable prices.
