Tablets are the Goldilockses (is that a word? It is now!) of the portable-computer world. They offer a bigger screen than a cell phone, but are a fraction of the size and weight of a laptop — no wonder we're addicted to them! And now's the perfect time to get your fix, at the best price. Amazon Prime Day is the time to do that — and not just on Amazon, other retailers are hosting epic sales as well: "As it happens, most other major retailers and brands — we're talking Walmart, Best Buy, Nintendo, Target, Nordstrom and more — have launched adjacent sales that are on par with the savings you'd see on Black Friday"
