Apple's iPad launched as the company's top-end tablet offering. In the years since, its perch has been filled by the iPad Air and iPad Pro. Luckily for shoppers, this means the original iPad has actually seen its price drop in the decade since its original launch. Today's iPad is more affordable than ever, representing one of the best values yet, thanks to Apple doubling its base storage tier. This positions it as a versatile, ideal option for students, couch-based streaming media connoisseurs, and casual gamers. ZDNet's own Jason Cipriani called it "a good fit for nearly everyone." Walmart is currently your best bet for finding a discounted iPad thanks to its $30 savings that drop the price to $299 for one of the best tablets on the market.
