Why get an iPad with these 3 Deals?

Let us begin by discussing tablets before we focus specifically on the iPad. When it comes to mobile computing, tablets are the fastest growing within this sector. There are more and more models available every day, and more and more people are discovering that a tablet is the perfect solution to for their mobile computing needs.

A tablet offers a great compromise. It is incredibly portable, being lighter and smaller than the average laptop, so it is easier to carry around with you all day. On the other hand though, it is going to give you a bigger display than a smartphone would, so you get a far better viewing experience and you also get easier typing on the pop up keyboard.

When we are talking about tablets, it is hard to ignore the iPad, since Apple's devices are the bestselling tablet range on the market. You get great performance specs, tons of features, and of course you get trademark Apple design, so your tablet is stylish and good looking. There are many more iPad deals available than those for other tablets, simply because the iPad is more popular than any other device.

You will find that an iPad is pretty costly though, which is why we are looking at iPad deals. These deals come through mobile operators and give you an iPad and a data contract for which you will pay a monthly price. There may be a down payment, but this will be lower than the purchase price of an iPad itself. These deals will allow you to get your iPad with a much lower initial investment than otherwise possible.

Your Concerns When Looking at Deals

With so many deals to choose from, it can be tough knowing which are good and which are not. There are a few factors which you are going to be looking at when you are trying to evaluate an iPad deal.

Maybe the most important of these will be which iPad you are actually getting. With most operators you have the choice of the iPad 2, the iPad Mini or the iPad Air (remember that deals on the iPad Air replaced the older iPad 3 deals when Apple retired the model).

There are other factors too though. You will need to look at what kind of data cap you are going to be getting, since you will want this to reflect your needs. A smaller data plan is usually cheaper, but then you might end up paying extra costs if you go over your data limit. You will look at monthly cost, obviously, but you will also need to weigh in the cost of the down payment if there is one. Often paying a down payment will let you lower your monthly bill.

Finally, there is one last issue to take into account, that of coverage. These deals come from mobile operators so you will need to know that your local area has good coverage with the operator you choose, otherwise your data speeds are going to be slow or non-existent. You can easily check coverage on the OFCOM website which you will find here.

The Best iPad Air Deal

First we are looking at the best deal on the top of the line iPad Air. You are going to be paying a fair price for these deals, but then you do get the best iPad which is available on the market, with extremely high specs.

The iPad Air has a huge A7 64 Bit chip set so it is super-fast and really responsive. It has got a 9.7 inch high resolution screen too, so you get excellent colour reproduction and picture quality. There is a front facing FaceTime camera as well as a rear facing 5 MP camera, and with this deal you are getting the large 64 GB version of the Air.

Your best option is with EE, and you will need to pay a £200 down payment and £36 per month thereafter. You will get a massive 8 GB of mobile data a month, and that is fast 4G data, not regular 3G speeds.

The Best iPad Mini Deal

The iPad Mini is an excellent choice for the average customer, since you still get excellent specs but prices are a little more affordable.

You will be getting the same chip set, camera specs and screen resolution specs on the Mini as you get on the Air. You will, however, get a smaller screen, the display on the Mini measures only 7.9 inches, and you will only get 16 GB of internal memory on this deal.

This time our best deal is coming from T-Mobile. You will not need to pay any down payment for this plan, though you will still be paying £36 per month. For this price you will get an average 5 GB data cap.

The Best iPad 2 Deal

Finally, the iPad 2 is the best choice for the budget conscious. You do get lower performance specs, but you will pay lower prices on iPad 2 deals than you will on deals for any other model.

The iPad 2 has an A5 chip set, though speeds are still fine for the average user. You will get the larger 9.7 inch screen, but resolution is not quite as good as it is on the Air and on the Mini. You will get 16 GB of internal storage with the iPad 2.

The best deal for the iPad 2 also comes from T-Mobile. You will need to pay £100 as a down payment, and your monthly bill will then be just £26 per month. This will give you a 2 GB mobile data limit to use with your new iPad 2.

Depending on which iPad model you are looking for, you will want to check out one of these 3 deals; they are the best on the market!
