Apple has finally revealed its first new iPad Mini since 2015's iPad Mini 4. It's not called the iPad Mini 5 though, Apple has instead opted to simply call it the iPad Mini, retailers are likely to call it the iPad Mini (2019) or all-new iPad Mini to help differentiate it from the oldest version though.

It shouldn't be hard to spot it though as the new iPad Mini (2019) will be the one with a starting price of $399 / £399 / AU$599 / AED 1599. Of course, the device itself has benefited from upgraded spec and a better screen over the older models, although you'd be forgiven for not seeing much difference in the look of the device.

The stunning new retina screen has a 2048 x 1536 resolution, which is seriously intense for a 7.9-inch screen. The battery will keep you going for a superb 10 hours of web surfing and media playback. You're getting most up-to-date OS and brand new A12 Bionic Chip that even outstrips the most recent regular 9.7-inch iPad. If the regular iPads are a bit too big for you, but you want something bigger than your phone for long reads, browsing the net or watching video content, the latest iPad Mini is going to take some beating as one of the best devices you can get.

You'll also be able to use the Apple Pencil with the iPad Mini 5, so it might be worth checking out the cheapest Apple Pencil prices and deals available now.

Prices will drop more now

Might be worth paying a bit more for the new version

One of the major changes with the iPad mini 4 over the older version is its design. It may look the same, but it's been slimmed down from 7.5mm to a wafer thin 6.1mm. It's also now more powerful, has a stunning screen and the battery is still a 10-hour beast. The A8 processor is a good step up from the A7 inside the mini 3 so if you're going to play 3D games or throw around some of the more hefty iPad apps from the App Store, this is certainly a solid option.

The price will start to drop more now that the new 2019 iPad Mini has landed. For a while though, you might find prices aren't a million miles apart, meaning you might want to spend a bit more on the newest version for the extra speed and higher resolution screen.

Get a Chromebook for just $99 in Best Buy’s early Black Friday laptop deals
It may only be mid-October but Best Buy is already planting its flag with a number of early Black Friday laptop deals, including one of the cheapest Chromebooks we’ve seen for some time.

You can now get a HP Chromebook 11 for only $99 (was $259) at Best Buy. That’s a huge $160 saving on an ideal pick up for those on a tight budget who need a very basic machine for simple school tasks on everyday browsing. Usually, you'd need to fork out somewhere in the region of $150 for a Chromebook with a similar spec, so it's a terrific saving if you want to get ahead of this year's Black Friday deals.

That's just a small part of all the early Black Friday laptop deals that can be found in the current Best Buy sale, though. For those with a bit more money to spend, you should definitely consider this HP 15.6-inch laptop at $329.99 (was $499.99). With an Intel i3 processor, 8GB RAM and a 256GB SSD you're getting a solid mid-range machine that will see a big performance jump from that increased memory.

For those who need to undertake more demanding jobs or a fair dose of multitasking, then the Lenovo Yoga 7i for $749.99 (was $949.99) is the one to go for in the early Best Buy Black Friday deals. The highlight is the 12GB of RAM, but you'll also appreciate the 14-inch touchscreen, latest i5 processor and 512GB SSD for even more storage.
