It wasn't so long ago that everyone put a tablet on their holiday gift list, with Black Friday ads giving ample cover space to the latest iPad. Thanks to bigger smart phones and 2-in-1 laptops being able to handle a lot of the tasks we once used tablets for, the market continues its decline[1]. Nonetheless, over 36 million tablets were sold last quarter, with the iPad Pro and Microsoft Surface bringing more productivity capabilities to pricier devices, not to mention Amazon dominating the low end of the market.
So though tablet deals may not be as plentiful this Black Friday as they once were, there are still many sales out there if you happen to be in the market for a new slate. Here's a breakdown by manufacturer and retailers.
