This latest iPad may be the base model, but its specs are anything but “base.” Running Apple’s A12 Bionic processor — paired with the company’s Neural Engine for blistering speed and powerful graphics performance, the iPad’s 10.2-inch Retina display (2160 x 1620-pixel resolution) is rapidly responsive to the touch. You will also find 32GB of onboard storage, an 8MP rear camera with 1080p at 30fps video recording capability and a 1.2MP front-facing shooter. All of this is enclosed in the same familiar thick bezel design (complete with a Lightning port for charging and a 3.5mm headphone jack), weighing in at 1.1 pounds and measuring just 0.3-inches thick. As we steam ahead into a new year of staying at home, the iPad is a great tablet to pick up and keep yourself entertained. But that’s not the only option — be sure to check out our best laptop deals hub regularly for the latest and greatest discounts.
