Apple's 9th generation iPad is cheaper than ever on Amazon ahead of Prime Big Deal Days. Launched in 2021 and succeeded by the iPad 10, the iPad 9 is still one of the best tablets around in 2024.

Right now, you can pick up the iPad 9 for just $199 at Amazon. Typically $199, that's $130 in savings and the cheapest price it's ever dropped to. Although we normally don't recommend products over 2 years old, the iPad 9 is an exception. 

You'll see in our iPad 9 review, we gave it a solid rating of 4 out of 5 stars. It impressed us with its outstanding performance, bright, vivid display, and excellent battery life. 

If you want to add a tablet to your arsenal of everyday gadgets, at just under $200, the iPad 9 is a no-brainer.

Laptop Mag: ★★★★½ 

Buy it if: You want an entertainment tablet for accessing your favorite streaming and gaming apps. The iPad also supports Apple Pencil (1st generation) and Smart Keyboard (sold separately) for drawing, taking notes, and marking up documents.

Don't buy it if: You want a tablet that can replace your laptop. Consider the M2 iPad Air or M4 iPad Pro if want a productivity tablet for getting things done from anywhere.
