Samsung tablets and watches

Samsung’s newest flagship tablet series has a 14.6” and an 11” model. Both are available with a straight discount, an additional £50 discount at checkout plus an additional £150/£100 discount for Prime Student members (these discounts are not reflected in the prices below). Also, you get a free Keyboard Cover worth £200.

Alternatively, you can look to the previous generation, which had a 14.6” model and a 12.4” model (but no 11” slate). While older, these are still quite capable and run a lot cheaper.

Apple tablets and watches

There isn’t much going on over on the tablet side of things as only the recently refreshed vanilla iPad is on sale right now. Unless you need the extra performance of the Airs, this one is a solid tablet for daily use.

Amazon tablets and e-readers

All Amazon tablets are deeply discounted at the moment, with some reaching 60% off – this is on top of these being some of the cheapest name-brand tablets to begin with. The only downside is that you don’t get access to the Google Play Store, at least not out of the box (wink, wink).

That said, for graphic novels you probably want the Kindle Colorsoft too. This one is available in basic, Signature and Kids editions. Signature adds wireless charging and an auto-adjusting front light. The Kids edition gets the usual stuff: free case, no ads and a Kids+ subscription.

If you need to read documents or prefer to sketch your ideas on a larger canvas, the Kindle Scribe is available – these are the 2024 and 2022 releases. The newer model is pricier because it comes with a more advanced stylus plus AI and Active Canvas features.
