Grab a new TV, treat yourself to a new tablet and snag other tech at Best Buy this month. Right now, you can snag this brand-new, Wi-Fi-only Apple iPad (9th Generation) tablet with 64GB of internal storage for just $200. This iPad is the perfect starter tablet for kids and teens heading back to school, or anyone who wants an iPad without paying top-dollar for an Apple iPad Pro or iPad Air. The ninth-generation iPad is not the most current version -- it features the slightly older Apple A13 Bionic processor. However, the tablet runs the same version of iPadOS and comes with the same collection of apps as the current iPad models. The iPad (9th Generation) is equipped with a 10.2 inch (2,160-by-1,620-pixel resolution) Retina touchscreen, along with a 12MP front camera and 8MP rear camera. The battery lasts for about 10 hours per charge. Choose between a space gray or silver casing. Samsung's Frame TV continues to be a top seller among CBS Essentials readers, and with good reason. The 65-inch version, which we recently reviewed, offers a 4K, QLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. You also get support for HDR10+. This TV is a mere inch thick, so it looks just like a framed piece of artwork when hung on a wall. In fact, when you're not watching your favorite shows and movies, the Frame displays famous works of art in ultra-high resolution, so each art piece looks incredibly realistic. We love this TV because it offers a beautiful display with a matte finish, so you see little to no glare or reflections. And right now, you can enjoy having this TV hanging on the wall of your living room or bedroom for just $1,598, which is $402 off its usual price. The Apple AirPods (2nd Generation) boast more than 24 hours of total listening time (with the wireless charging case), a foolproof, one-tap setup for Apple device owners and a low-latency wireless connection (for full immersion when consuming movies and music). Plus, you truly can't beat the under-$100 price point. If you want immersive audio from earbuds that carry the Apple name, opt for these affordable earbuds. They may not be the newest option on the market, but they're still every bit worth your cash. The 2024 version of the Hisense 65-inch U7 Series mini-LED (65U7N) offers a display that showcases bright and accurate colors and plenty of detail. With it, you get an impressively quick 144Hz refresh rate that makes sports, action movies and video games look super smooth -- no flickering, blur or pixelation. Picture quality and contrast is further enhanced with the TV's full array local dimming. When it comes to gaming, you can access and play online games from popular services (like Xbox Game Pass) directly from the TV. The TV's Game mode automatically adjusts the TV's settings to optimize whatever game you're playing, including console games. Apple AirPods Pro (2nd generation) are currently the top-of-the-line wireless earbuds in Apple's lineup. This is the model we recommend the most highly because they integrate more features that enable the earbuds to produce significantly better sound quality and overall performance. With these earbuds, you get access to in-demand features like adaptive audio, active noise cancellation, a transparency mode, a conversation awareness feature and onboard touch controls. The dust, sweat and waterproof rating of the AirPods Pro (2nd generation) has been enhanced to IP54, which makes them a bit more durable for those looking for earbuds for the gym. The most impressive feature added to this AirPods model is the active noise cancellation. This feature does a really good job drowning out (and often eliminating) ambient noise, even when you're not listening to audio. When you are listening to music or audio that supports it, the ANC works in conjunction with the spatial audio (with dynamic head tracking) feature to deliver lossless audio with ultra-low latency. As a result, the audio quality these earbuds produce is far more immersive, robust, and lifelike. Of course, you also get the seamless switching between Apple devices and access to Siri. While their suggested retail price is $249, we've seen the AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) on sale for under $200, like they are right now at Best Buy. For help choosing which model of the Apple AirPods are best for you, be sure to read our comprehensive 2024 AirPods buyer's guide. The Samsung S90C is a higher-end OLED smart TV that comes in a variety of sizes, including a massive 83-inch version that provides a theater-like experience at home. This TV features wide-angle viewing, so the people watching don't need to be sitting directly in front of the screen to enjoy a clear and bright picture.
