My old iPad has shit the bed. I know nothing of current tablet offerings; what’s a good, cheap replacement? I don’t want a keyboard, so no Chromebooks. What does the collective recommend?
These rankings seem pretty on point and they just came out like a week ago: https://www.techradar.com/news/best-tablet
The new ipad looks to be the ticket to me
Costco has 128g 9.7" iPad for like $350 right now (after $50 off). Thinking about upgrading my mini.
iPads are usually discounted or on sale in 2 weeks (turkey day). the other tablet offerings suck, imo.
Another vote to just replace your old ipad with a new one. If your old one was your first, you may have a better idea of storage and peripheral needs, can downsize the new one and save a few bucks.
I've had good experiences buying on the apple refurbished site too. save a few doll hairs

Leaning toward the newer base model @$330. I’ll start watching sales.
I just replaced my IPad mini with a Samsung Tab A. I despise the Mac IOS. Android is so much better. I don't know how you people live with I Phones. Ever since that man died, it's been downhill.
^^^ That’s an 8” though; the older I get the more screen I need. Or does it come in larger versions?
Keep an eye on woot.com. daily deals and iPads come up quite often.

Micro Center has the 9.7 inch iPad 6 32g for $299. Think that price is in store only though. I've bought a few iPads from them over the years and it's worked out ok.
Check out Apple site for education discounts if applicable (student or teacher). Personally I hate Black Friday and Apple discounts are typically few and far between but it might be worth waiting to see if anything good pops up.
Wait for Black Friday. There should be deals to be had.

Personally, I'm on the android bandwagon, but having a mixed device quiver would be a pain, and ultimately could cost more if you use many paid apps.
There was a thing about iPad pricing on Black Friday in Forbes I think? ...popped up in my Apple news aggregator
Found that ^^^ article; good to know. I'll stick with iPad; Samsungs are the same price for an equivalent screen, and I already have Apple apps on our phones.
Thanks all!

Costco is also having some deals on ipads. $50 off a certain config (9.5" w 64 GB i think?) Details on their website.
9.7" 128GB wi-fi, all colors, at best buy = $329.99

Just pulled trigger on ^ Black Friday deal at Best Buy for daughters. I would be surprised if the newest 128g version goes less than $329.
