Amazon is offering sales on Apple's 10.2-inch iPad and 8.3-inch iPad mini tablets this week, with as much as $90 off these devices.

iPad mini

Every color of Apple's 64GB Wi-Fi iPad mini 6 is down to $409.00 on Amazon, from $499.00. Although not an all-time low price, this deal is a good second-best offer and just about $10 higher than the lowest price we've ever tracked.

Similarly, the 256GB Wi-Fi iPad mini is seeing a second-best price of $549.00, down from $649.00. Stock has begun to dwindle on the 64GB Wi-Fi iPad mini, but you can lock in the sale price now ahead of its early June delivery estimates.

10.2-inch iPad

Amazon has the 64GB Wi-Fi iPad for $309.00, down from $329.00. This is about $10 higher than the best price we've ever tracked, so it's a solid second-best discount.

Additionally, the 256GB Wi-Fi model is on sale for $429.00, down from $479.00. Both Silver and Space Gray are available at this price, and in stock with delivery estimated for as soon as next week. This is an all-time low price on this version of the iPad.

is the 256gb 10.2 the best balance of power/price for an ipad for a kid who does a lot of gaming like roblox, minecraft, etc?

64GB is just so insulting, even for last year. It's not a cheaper alternative or a base model it is just outright insulting. Sure it works for someone's eight yr old only on the basis that parent throws it in a landfill in less than two years in order to upgrade to a useable model. I mean in all serious does that parent think their kid might go to school someday and get some homework and or study guides?
 
They’ll probably be good with just 64 GB.

Agree.
That said, my kids are 11 and 8 and play Minecraft and they both have entry-level iPads and they are 100% A-OK.

Hell no on 64GB. Less than 2yrs it’ll bog down on performance. As iOS increases updates this will occur. We’ve seen it in 5S/6s etc over the years with 15/32GB and now with 64GB. If nothing else will be used in that time surr but it’s likely the child will expand their use especially with friends and family too.

Also confer book reading as well during trips.

Storage isn’t relevant for performance, RAM is.
