In this week’s Best of 9to5Toys: Apple’s latest iPad 9.7-inch is on sale from $289, Best Buy launches an open-box Apple sale with rare discounts, Anker cuts the prices on a selection of its products including the Nebula Mars II Portable Projector, more…

The iPad is highly regarded as one of the best tablets on the market. Apple’s latest model also includes Apple Pencil support and is at one of the best prices we’ve tracked. Staples has the latest iPad 9.7-inch discounted to start at just $289 shipped, with varying configurations and colors available.

Best Buy also didn’t want to be left out of the Apple discount train this week, it seems. The tech retail giant is slashing the prices on several of Apple’s best products in open-box condition, with rare discounts across the board. The Apple TV starts at just $126, Apple Watch Series 3 from $267, Magic Mouse 2 (even in Space Gray) from $63, and more.

Anker is another highly-rated company that we love here at 9to5Toys. This week, the company is having a great sale on several of its products. From the highly-rated Nebula Mars II Portable Projector at $400, to truly wireless earbuds for $50 and Lightning cables from $15, Anker has you covered on all fronts here.
