Bridging the gap between your phone and your laptop—or perhaps replacing your laptop altogether—tablets are an excellent mobile option when you want a decently-sized screen that you can hold in your hand. Great for watching movies and TV, browsing the internet, and even checking email, tablets are particularly versatile, especially with the addition of add-ons like a stylus and/or keyboard.

Powerful enough to replace your laptop, the Microsoft Surface Pro features an i5 chip, a large 12-inch display, and works with the Surface Pen and Signature Type Cover, although those accessories will have to be purchased separately.
Even without the Pen and Cover, though, this tech doesn’t come cheap, and this tablet has a laptop-like price tag. But if you act quickly, right now you can save almost $200 on this top-tier model.

Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S7 Plus is another tablet that can do double-duty as both a work machine and home entertainment screen. Unlike the above, it comes with an S-pen, which works great for taking notes and jotting down ideas. It has four AKG speakers and Dolby Atmos Surround Sound for an immersive movie-watching experience. Even better, right now you can get one for more than $100 off.
