Gone are the days where the humble tablets presence had us confused: is it a smartphone or is it a computer? We’ve leant into the lightweight and portable iPad’s perks of easy transportation, the ability to watch our favourite shows and films on a bigger screen than that of our smartphone, as well as connect with friends and family via video calls. We’re big fans of the Apple iPad, and have recommended it in guides such as the best tablets for older people, and now, we’ve found you some top savings on it, too.
