Tablets are a good alternative to laptops or desktop computers for slightly more casual computing, and some people prefer them due to their convenience, portability, and multifaceted functionality. 

Not only are tablets lighter and easier to transport, but they are also incredibly versatile and can be used for a wide range of tasks. You can add a keyboard to use it like a laptop, use a compatible pen for drawing directly on the screen, or even use it as an e-book reader. Tablets are also often cheaper than laptop equivalents, making them a cost-effective choice for many consumers. 

iPads are the most popular type of tablet and since their debut in 2010, Apple has sold over 500 million of them. If you’re looking to buy a tablet or upgrade from your old one, an iPad is basically the default choice – but being Apple products, they aren’t exactly cheap. You can often find discounts on iPads during sales periods, and Australia’s EOFY has delivered the best price on Apple’s cheapest iPad that we’ve seen in some time.
