Apple’s tried-and-true tablet, the base model iPad, is ZDNET’s overall pick for best cheap tablet.
Not only does the standard price tag cover the same features you’d expect from Apple’s other tablets, like iPadOS updates for years and access to the App Store — you also don’t have to pay a premium as you do for the more expensive Pro and Air models.
Review: Apple iPad (2021) review: If it’s not broke, don’t fix it
The 9th-generation iPad was announced in the fall of 2021, and it includes an A13 Bionic processor plus more storage options. While the 10th-generation iPad was announced in 2022, ZDNET editor June Wan said the 2021 version is still a good buy — plus it’s $120 cheaper (and even more so ahead of the holiday).

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds — the brands newest earbud launch to date — deliver impressive noise-cancellation and a vibrant sound, all in a compact and uniquely shaped design. They feature a six-hour battery life, noise-canceling capabilities, and two immersive-audio experiences — one for sitting or standing in place and another for moving around.
ZDNET Associate Editor Nina Raemont said the new buds are the way to go.
“For a pair of earbuds, the sound quality is top-notch, and the noise-canceling easily shields me from the loudness of car horns, train rides, and the many other sounds of New York City,” Raemont wrote in her Nov. 2023 review. With $50 off, now’s the time to score them.

ZDNET’s pick for best budget-friendly wireless earbuds, the Amazon Echo Buds are an even better buy right now ahead of the holidays. These buds are great for work and light exercise, but keep in mind you will need to charge them frequently since their battery life runs just around five hours. The Echo Buds integrate Amazon smart assistant, Alexa, so you can create reminders, set alarms, or ask her your burning questions while wearing you’re earbuds.
Review: Amazon sells these earbuds for $50 and I’m surprised they don’t cost more
When ZDNET’s Jada Jones tried out the earbuds for herself, she called the sound “fantastic” and complimented the buds”http://www.zdnet.com/”exciting” Alexa integration. “The Echo Buds could make a nice gift for a responsible pre-teen or an adult looking for headphones for leisure and work purposes,” she wrote.

Black Friday, the holiday shopping palooza of the year, falls on the same day every year — the Friday following Thanksgiving, which is always the fourth Thursday in November. This year Black Friday falls on Nov. 24, one day after Thanksgiving on Nov. 23, 2023.
Amazon’s Black Friday and holiday deals will begin Nov. 17 and will end on Nov. 27, running concurrently through the Cyber Week sales from Nov. 24-27. Cyber Monday falls on Nov. 27 this year, wrapping up the traditional Cyber Week sales ahead of December, though deals will likely linger at large retailers such as Walmart, Amazon, Best Buy, Costco and more.
ZDNET will be tracking down the best deals across a slue of popular and sought-after categories until the end of the holiday shopping season. Be sure to check back frequently while you shop to snag the best savings (we mean it, our lists are updated multiple times per week).
ZDNET only writes about deals we want to buy — devices and products we desire, need, or would recommend. Our experts looked for deals that were at least 20% off (or are hardly ever on sale), using established price comparison tools and trackers to determine whether the deal is actually on sale and how frequently it drops.
We also looked over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the deals we’re recommending. Our recommendations may also be based on our own testing — in addition to extensive research and comparison shopping. The goal is to deliver the most accurate advice to help you shop smarter.
Amazon offers a slew of different deals ahead, during, and after the holiday season, and as its such a large retailer, it would be hard not to find the perfect gift for everyone on your list. This year the retail giant promises some of the lowest prices of the year so far on select products from popular brands like YETI, Peloton, LEGO, and Lancôme.
From Nov. 17-27, Amazon will offer deep discounts across categories including electronics, toys, home, fashion, beauty, and Amazon devices. Some of our favorite deals include several of ZDNET’s best overall picks for robot vacuums, including the Roomba s9+, ZDNET’s best Fitbit for style, the Fitbit Luxe, and ZDNET’s pick for best overall noise-canceling earbuds, the Bose QuietComfort II earbuds, and their fellow competitor, the Apple Airpods Pro (2nd Gen).
While discounts offered during the holiday season and Prime Day often reflect similar savings, you may find that specific products or categories see more or less savings depending on the time of year. The larger upside to shopping early Black Friday deals and beyond into Cyber Week is that the holiday season is a multi-retailer event. Amazon’s top competitors, such as Target, Walmart, Best Buy, and more are all capitalizing on the holiday economy and try to outdo each other by offering the best deals. The good news for you? More deals at more retailers, so be sure to shop around for the best price before hitting purchase.
