Apart from tech, Dreamchild loves cars (American muscle, in particular). He has written several pieces on vehicles while working stints in other publications. So when he's not organizing a D&D game, watching Formula 1, or exploring a new rogue-like, you will find him outside working on his S197 Mustang.

Apple iPad 10th Gen on a green background
Apple/CNET

Apple's 10th-gen iPad might not be the latest model anymore, but it's still a great tablet if you can find one at the right price. The launch of the new 11th-gen iPad means that the chance of finding a great 10th-gen deal just improved significantly. Amazon is already offering it for just $260, a price that is only $11 more than the lowest price we've seen to date.

See at Amazon

The 10th-gen iPad offers several modern features, including a large 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display, an solid 12-megapixel camera, better speakers than its predecessor and the A14 Bionic chip for fast performance. This model comes with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, as well as Center Stage, which makes it excellent for video calling. 

Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.   

It's worth noting that this iPad isn't compatible with the Apple Pencil 2 or the new Apple Pencil Pro, so you'll have to use the first-gen model and a USB-C dongle or grab the USB-C Pencil, both of which are sold separately. Our main gripe with this iPad was the cost over the older (but still functional) ninth-gen model -- but this price cut solves that problem.
