It’s great value for money at this price if you need an all-around tablet. We said Apple’s latest base-level tablet is a big upgrade over the previous generation model in ouriPad 10.9 review, with a larger Liquid Retina display, a new A14 Bionic chip, improved cameras, USB-C support, and a sleek design.

Apple Watch SE 2 (GPS, 44mm):was $249 now$169.99 at AmazonAt under $200, this is a great price for Apple’s entry-level and budget-friendly smartwatch. We said in ourApple Watch SE 2 reviewthat it’s a respectable mid-range smartwatch boasting good performance, impressive battery life, and a helpful suite of features. Just note that it lacks the temperature sensor and ECG sensor found in higher-end options like the Apple Watch 9.
