When most people think of tablets, they think of iPads. And that is completely fair, iPads have absolutely dominated the field for 10-plus years. But while everyone was paying attention to iPads, there has been a plethora of Android-based tablets from well-known manufacturers like Samsung and Lenovo introduced into the market. These Android tablets are perfect for light productivity work, consuming content, and playing Android games. Also in this category is the Microsoft Surface lineup. These tablets fall more into the 2-in-1 category than tablets, but they are worth mentioning, especially with the Prime Day deals available on them.

Speaking of Prime Day, today is the last day, so make sure to act quickly on these deals!

Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite is designed to break the stranglehold that iPads have on the tablet market. Rather than trying to be entirely different from an iPad, the Tab S6 lite is made to have similar design features and look to an iPad, but at a much affordable cost, and using Android OS. With a 10.4-inch screen, this tablet is incredibly easy to carry around, and the included S-pen, which attaches to the side magnetically, makes it perfect for taking notes or as a digital sketch pad.

Samsung claims the Tab S6 lite has a 13-hour battery life on a single charge, and it is charged with a USB-C cable, so most Android users can just bring a single cable to charge all of their devices. The model chosen for this deal has 64 GB of internal storage, but there is also a 128 GB version for those users that need more storage.

During these Prime Day deals, the Tab S6 lite is $215, but it is normally $350, so this is quite the steal.

Microsoft Surface Pro 8

The Microsoft Surface Pro 8 is by far the most expensive tablet on this list, but it is also capable of being a full laptop replacement for some. But, because of the Prime Day deal on it, the Surface Pro 8 is available for just $691, compared to its normal listing price of $1,200! Unlike most tablets the Surface Pro 8 runs the full version of Windows 11, and uses laptop grade hardware. Despite having laptop grade hardware this tablet is still incredibly portable, measuring.37 inches thick.

The incredible display on the Pro 8 is 13 inches at a resolution of 2880x1920, and runs at a very impressive 120Hz refresh rate. Unfortunately despite having a 120Hz screen the rest of the hardware inside doesn't really make the Surface Pro 8 a gaming option. For productivity and most general use cases the Intel Evo Core i5 makes easy work of any task thrown its way. Plus users can expect to get 16-hours of battery life out of the Surface Pro 8 making it a perfect choice for working from coffee shops or a place without easy access to a charger.

This option listed below does not come with a keyboard folio, so be sure to pick one up before ordering the tablet. The keyboard folio makes it so much easier to use and is well worth the price.
