Amazon Prime Day is happening July 8 through July 11, and it's one of the best online sales events of the year. Whether you're looking forward to getting a good deal on new tech, home goods or anything in between,

All colors of the 11-inch Apple iPad are on sale for $299, saving you $50 on list price. Our Apple expert hand-picked this deal as one of the best to drop ahead of Prime Day. And Mashable's Samantha Mangino argues that it's "a great entry-level tablet" for anyone working on a budget.

In order to take advantage of some Prime Day deals, you need to be an Amazon Prime member. Amazon Prime costs $14.99 / £8.99 / AUD$6.99 on a monthly basis (but can be canceled after 30 days) and gives you two-day free delivery and access to Prime Video.
