Presidents' Day is coming, and there are already some big tech deals to mark the occasion, including record low prices on Samsung Galaxy tablets. Best Buy has 30% off the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9+, reduced from $999 to $699, plus big savings on the cheaper Galaxy Tab S9 FE and the A9+, which means there's a deal for every user.

The Galaxy Tab S9 has been superseded by the newer Tab S10 range, but it's hardly old tech. With a gorgeous 12.4-inch AMOLED display and the Samsung S Pen stylus included, it remains a great choice for drawing and note-taking on Android apps without the steep price tag of the newer model (see our guide to the best tablets with a stylus).

Save: $300 (30%)

Overview: The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9+ remains a great tablet for drawing, note taking and gaming. At 12.4in, it has a good-sized screen but is more portable than the huge Ultra model. The AMOLED display provides vibrant colours and good definition, and the Snapdragon 8 chip with 12GB RAM is able to handle photo editing and other creative work in Android apps. The stylus comes included, and you can purchase an optional keyboard to use the tablet as a laptop.

This early President's Day deal matches the best price on record, and makes this 2023 tablet much more affordable than the newer Galaxy Tab S10+.

Save: $150.20 (33%)

Overview: Released in October 2023, the Samsung Galaxy Tab FE is a more economical version of the flagship Galaxy Tab. It runs on Samsung's own Exynos 1380 chip and has only 6GB or 8GB of memory and a standard LED display.

That means it's not cut out for heavy multitasking or running more demanding creative apps, but it's a great-value choice if you want a tablet for drawing, note taking and general browsing and entertainment, especially at this price.

Price comparison: Best Buy: $299.99 | Samsung: $449.99

Save: $70 (26%)

Overview: The A series is Samsung's basic lineup of tablets. You don't get the higher end specs that come with the S series devices, but it does everything you could want from a budget tablet.

We found navigation to be smooth, even in split screen, it can handle gaming, and the build feels surprisingly premium for this price point. For under $200, it's a steal. The base configuration is even cheaper – just $168.99 at Amazon – but it comes with only a 64GB SSD, which I think will be too little storage for most people. It's worth paying a bit more for 128GB.

Price comparison: Amazon: also $199.99 | Samsung: $229.99
