It's sometimes easy to forget that there's a whole tablet market outside of Apple. There are plenty of excellent Android tablets on the market that have proved to be viable iPad alternatives. Samsung's tablets are particularly good, but they aren't much cheaper than Apple's iPads unless you can find a discount. Amazon can help here and has slashed prices on select Galaxy Tab S9 models with the S9 Plus model hitting $700. That's the lowest price we've seen. But these record lows may not last long. Prefer to order your tech from Best Buy? You can save up to $300 there, but you'll need to act quickly -- Best Buy's sale ends tonight.

The cost of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Plus has fallen to $700 for the 256GB model and to $820 for the 512GB version at both Amazon and Best Buy. This equates to savings of $300 off their typical retail prices. These Plus models sport a larger display (12.4-inch AMOLED), higher storage and a dual-lens camera as opposed to a single camera on the standard S9 tablet.

Looking for something smaller and more portable? The 256GB model of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 is also available at Amazon for $770 right now, but we've seen a lower price on this model before, so the S9 Plus is likely a better deal for most people. This tablet sports an 11-inch AMOLED display, Dolby Audio and the incredibly fast Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip and may still be worth considering.
