If you find the current iPad line up a little confusing, you're not alone. As our iPad generations guide shows, there's a lot of choice out there, from the mini to the Air to the Pro, all of which cater for (sometimes subtly) different needs. So thank goodness for a deal that makes things simple. Any iPad for less than $200 is a steal, end of story.
Right now at Best Buy, Apple's 9th generation iPad is down from $330 to $199, knocking a whopping $130 off the price. For context, the current base-level iPad, the 10th generation, starts at $349. While the 9th generation might feature a slightly older design and only support the Apple Pencil 1, it's still a super capable tablet with a great screen, at this price, one of the best iPad for drawing options for those on a very tight budget. Check out our iPad Black Friday hub for more.
Disclaimer
While the 9th generation does support the Apple Pencil, you might prefer a model that is compatible with one of the later styluses, such as the Apple Pencil Pro, or USB-C model. The current budget-level iPad, the 10th generation model, supports the Apple Pencil 1 and USB-C.
