Tablet Black Friday deals by brand

iPad Black Friday deals

The iPad is the most popular tablet brand in the world, consistently outselling other brands year-on-year. However, Apple famously rarely gets involved in big-ticket sales events such as Black Friday. You may find other retailers offering discounts on Apple products, but you won’t get them from the Apple Store. The lowest price in October 2024 for the iPad 10.2” 64GB tablet is $199.00 at Amazon, while on Back Market, it’s $173.62.

Samsung Galaxy tablet Black Friday deals

Samsung Galaxy is a leading brand for Android tablets, offering great performance, bright screens, and an enduring battery life. The price points are typically a little lower than for comparable Apple products. The Samsung Galaxy A9+ tablet can be found on Amazon with a $50 off Black Friday deal throughout November, taking it down to $169.9, compared to $144.99 on Back Market.

Microsoft tablet Black Friday deals

Microsoft tablets are typically powerful, reliable, and have a high screen resolution. However, they can also have lower-than-average battery life and less storage and mobility than similar tablets from other brands. The pricing is pretty standard for what you get when you buy new. The best deal on a Microsoft Surface Go 2 tablet on Black Friday comes from the Microsoft Store, with a $100 discount taking it down to $300, while you can get the same product refurbished on Back Market for just $181.00.

Lenovo tablet Black Friday deals

Lenovo is one of the best value-for-money brands on Android, even when buying new tablets. The main downside is that they can be slow to charge, so if you’re on the move a lot, you may need something else. Amazon is currently offering $40 off the Lenovo Tab M8, taking the price down to $69.99, compared to $59.99 on Back Market.

Top deals on tablets at Back Market all year long

Shopping at Back Market means you can find Black Friday tablet deals all year round. With refurbished tech, Back Market offers prices as low as or even lower than those offered by most major retailers on Black Friday, and you can shop whenever you like, from the comfort of your home.

How does Back Market provide discounts on tablets?

The refurbishment process at Back Market doesn’t just mean you get to save money on the technology you want. You also get to pat yourself on the back for helping to protect the environment. On average, a refurbished smartphone:

• Uses 92% less raw materials

• Generates 89% less e-waste

• Uses 86% less water

• Puts 92% less carbon emissions into the atmosphere

It not only uses significantly less resources, but it’s also less expensive to produce and Back Market passes those savings to you. All this great environmental impact, plus prices that can be as much as 70% lower than buying the same product new.

What about the quality of the devices?

As global industry leaders, Back Market sets a higher standard of quality that you can rely on for refurbished technology. Industry professionals thoroughly test every product sold using a 25-step verification process. When you buy a verified refurbished tablet at Back Market, you can be confident that it will be 100% fully functional, with a minimum of 80% battery health and 100% charge capacity. 

Each tablet sold on Back Market is then rated according to appearance. “Fair” products may some have visible signs of wear, but these will not be in places that affect your usage. “Good” products will have flawless screens and perhaps a few, barely visible scratches on the body. And those rated “Excellent” will have almost no signs of previous use at all. Each tablet has been through a full factory reset and checked for any red flags by leading professionals, ensuring your satisfaction.

Bottom line: Get tablet deals on Black Friday OR any time of year

Buying refurbished tablets from Back Market has multiple advantages over the Black Friday sales: 

• Access great deals in any season

• Avoid the stress of sale shopping

• Help reduce e-waste, carbon emissions, and the use of raw materials

• Trade in used tech for even bigger discounts

Unless you actually need to upgrade your tablet on Black Friday, the deals available may not offer the best discounts. Even if you need an upgrade, you can find better prices for the same products on Back Market.

Are Black Friday deals on tablets worth it?

A lot of hype surrounds Black Friday, with the media promising shoppers that they will get the best discounts and deals of the year, but only if they hurry out to buy quickly. This can cause a lot of stress, creating the busiest shopping day of the year and anxiety over whether what looks like a good deal is actually the best price.

A survey from ‘Which?’ found that only around 2% of products on sale on Black Friday were actually at their cheapest price for the year. Retailers often artificially increase prices in the build-up to Black Friday to make their deals on the day seem more impressive, so Black Friday deals on tablets may not be as good as they seem.

At Back Market, you can grab yourself Black Friday prices all year round, and there are often better bargains to be had. The prices and the products are fully backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee* and a 1-year warranty. And the best part? You don’t have to go shopping on Black Friday.

*Free return policy is extended until Jan 31st for any purchase made after Nov 25th

Spend less during Black Friday when you trade in your old tech

Trading in your tablet or any other tech can not only get you better prices on your new devices. It also extends the lifespan of that tech, which is better for the environment. Reusing electronics for as long as possible helps reduce e-waste and carbon emissions and save on the use of raw materials. Plus, when you trade in old tech at Back Market, you can increase the discount on the product you want, or simply get cash in your pocket – perfect for the holiday season.
