$529 at Amazon (save $120)
In a world of oversized electronics, sometimes a mini version is actually best. If you've been sensing that most tablets feel more like portable monitors when it comes to size, today's deal on a small tablet is meant to keep things light without sacrificing on functionality.
As of Feb. 22, the Apple iPad Mini (WiFi, 256GB) is just $529 at Amazon, marked down from the typical price of $649. That's a savings of $120 or a discount of 18%.
With an edge-to-edge screen, the iPad Mini has an 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display that gets up to 500 nits of brightness. It also uses an impressive A15 Bionic chip for optimal power that'll have your breezing through tasks on the tablet.
Mashable senior editor Stan Schroeder mentions in his review of the iPad Mini that this generation sees a major upgrade to the camera and it comes with great speakers. He also considers the smaller size to be an asset. "It fits in small bags and larger pockets, and it can comfortably be held with one hand for longer periods of time," he explains in his review. "It's the only iPad you don't have to plan for; just take it with you as you would your phone, and you'll probably find some place to stow it away."

Stop using rice to save your wet phone, Apple warns. What to do instead.One notable downside to the iPad Mini is its lack of a headphone jack. However, you could grab a pair of USB-C headphones to use with the tablet which would remedy the issue.
If your daily life calls for the power, speed, and reliability of an Apple tablet, but you're not thrilled about lugging a large tablet around, the iPad Mini could be a worthwhile investment. Since today's deal is the lowest price we've ever seen at Amazon, the universe could be telling you it's time to go mini.
