Last week we already warned you that we had the Black Friday 2017 already on the horizon and surely many since then have already begun to think about how you could take advantage of it for Christmas shopping, a task that we are going to try to make a little easier for you, reviewing some tablets that can be perfect for give and which are also good candidates to find in offer.
Tablets for kids
Children are always the protagonists during Christmas and tablets are one of their favorite gifts, so it is definitely worth paying attention to Black Friday 2017 in this sense. Here it is advisable to be especially attentive to Four 7 y Fire 8HD that, despite being already very affordable, Amazon usually always includes among its offers on the designated dates (it did on Prime Day and also on Black Friday last year). The discount itself is probably not very high, but starting from such low figures, we may find that the final price is laughable (on Prime Day it was only 35 euros).
Although some always have qualms about getting an Amazon tablet, that's why arriving with a highly personalized version of Android (although you already know that install Google Play on a Fire tablet possible), in the case of a tablet for kids seems like a minor problem. However, it is worth taking into account the MediaPad T3 7, because Huawei's tablets are usually another of the great beneficiaries lately in the promotions of many distributors and taking into account that it can already be found for about 80 euros, with a small discount it would be a very tempting option.
10-inch tablets with good quality / price ratio
Right now we have a good assortment of mid-range and entry-level Android tablets to choose from, including 10-inch tablets with a very good level that can be purchased for 200 euros or less, perfect to give them to occasional users, who only need a solid tablet, with a large screen and without many complications of use. Some of them are already normally with small discounts, such as MediaPad T3 10 or the Lenovo Tab 4 10, but it does not hurt to be vigilant to see if one receives an even greater cut in its price.
La MediaPad T3 10 is a good candidate in this sense, because we have already commented that the tablets of Huawei They tend to be the protagonists of some of the most interesting discounts on these occasions. However, it is worth mentioning that one of the stars of last Black Friday was the A Galaxy Tab. If this year the play were repeated, we could find ourselves with a real bargain, thinking that for the 200 euros that is usually found right now it is already a great bet in relation to quality / price.
High-end Android tablets
If we are thinking of an already level gift, but more advanced users, there are a few Android tablets to which it is convenient to be attentive. Of course, the most desired is the Galaxy Tab S3, although this is perhaps a somewhat riskier bet. It is possible that we will see it in a distributor with a discount, but we do not know if it will be enough for them to improve the prices that can be found lately on Amazon and that they go down from 600 euros.
Last year we did see big sales for the Yoga Tab 3 Plus, but its price has dropped so much since then (moving around 300 euros, normally), that we no longer know if there is much more room to offer substantial discounts. The one that seems a safer and very interesting bet if an 8-inch tablet meets our needs, is the MediaPad M3: on Prime Day we got to see her for 250 euros and for that price it is certainly difficult to find a better Android tablet.
Apple tablets: iPad 9.7 and iPad Pro 10.5
It is almost certain that Apple will also offer us some kind of promotion for Black Friday 2017, because he does not usually miss the appointment (although sometimes he has), but in this case we cannot expect discounts on the prices of the new ones iPad models of 2017. The safest thing is that if it is finally confirmed that you are joining the celebration, it will do so with gift cards. It must be said that considering that there is accessories for iPad Pro (although also for the iPad 9.7) such as the Smart Keyboard or the Apple Pencil, they can be very welcome.
Offers in large distributors with iPad as protagonists they are not as frequent as with other brands, but do not rule them out, because last year we saw some interesting ones for the iPad Air 2. Although perhaps they do not call us so much attention a priori, in recent times we have been the most interesting sales seeing in the iPad Pro 9.7, which is still a great tablet and at a suitable discount, a great alternative to iPad 9.7.
Windows tablets
If you are looking for high-end Windows tablets, there are two tablets that you have to pay special attention to: the first, is the MateBook E, one of the most frequently discounted and that on Prime Day we saw with no less than 400 euros discount. The second is the new Surface ProBecause Microsoft They also usually offer us quite a few promotions on their website (with quite substantial discounts) and last year they did it with the Surface Pro 4.
Surely we will see some interesting promotion in distributors more dedicated to PCs (such as PC Components), and Lenovo has confirmed that it will also have offers for the occasion, something that may be especially interesting for those who are looking for tablets more affordable, since in its Miix range there are some of the best options if we look for windows tablets mid-range and basic .. And finally, we must not forget that many of the most popular Chinese importers will also leave us some discounts.
Good, I'm going to write down the things I want to buy on Black Friday to see if I save on Christmas purchases 🙂
