iPad mini 

The 7.9-inch iPad mini with the A5 processor from Apple was the first tablet from the company to foray into the smaller tablet market space, taking on rival offerings from Samsung. The original iPad mini made its appearance three years ago and has now become an indispensable item in Apple's product line-up. It has gone on to become synonymous with the smaller tablet space.

While the iPad mini may not have a Retina display like successors iPad mini 2 and iPad mini 3, the tablet packs in quite a punch and is still a better deal than other newer tablets in the same category.

Best Buy is offering the 16GB iPad mini from AT&T for $199, instead of the regular $349.99 which means you save $150. This deal is for the Wi-Fi and Cellular variant of the tablet in Space Gray. Best Buy will also ship the tablet for free.

If you're eyeing the latest iPad mini 3 then you're in luck as this tablet too is on sale on Best Buy. You can pick up the 16GB Wi-Fi variant of the tablet in silver, gold or gray for $299.99 instead of the regular $399.99 price, saving you $100.
