Black Friday 2023 is weeks away, but retailers are already slashing big bucks off today's best tablets. We're still seeing early discounts on iPads, Galaxy Tabs, Surface tablets, Fire tablets, and more. 

Right now, you can get the Apple iPad 10 for $399 at Amazon. That's $50 off its previous price of $449 and its lowest price ever on Amazon. If you don't want to wait until Black Friday, Nov. 24, this is one of the best iPad deals you can jump on now. Although we didn't test it, sister site Tom's Guide reviewed the iPad 10 and rated it 3.5 out of 5-stars for its fast A14 Bionic chip and long battery life.

If you're looking for a price break on Apple's latest entry model tablet, it's not too early to save. Black Friday may have not officially started, but October's early holiday sneak peeks are impressive. 

See the best early discounts on iPadOS, Android and Windows-powered tablets below.
