Fans love the 'super fast' Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ — and it's over $50 off
In the world of tablets, there's no doubt that the iPad is king. Of course, there's the downside: the cost. Most iPads are wildly expensive, which can make getting your hands on one a bit prohibitive if you're shopping on a budget. Enter the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+. More than 10,000 were sold in the past month alone and, right now, it's been knocked down to just $169 from $220 at Amazon.
While this isn't the lowest this tablet's ever been, it's significantly less expensive than an iPad, and has tons of features that the Apple mainstay doesn't. Also, good luck finding a brand-new iPad for this price!
For starters, it comes with 64GB of onboard storage. There is a 128GB version, but that knocks the price up to $220, and it isn't strictly necessary. The Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 supports microSD cards, too, so you can easily expand the base-level storage without breaking the bank.
On top of that, you can open multiple applications at one time and spread them across the screen. Researching and taking notes? Not a problem — have your web browser open on one side of the screen and your notes app on the other. The Samsung Kids app makes it easy to find kid-friendly content to keep little ones entertained, too.
If you have a Samsung TV, the options expand even more. You can cast content straight from the Galaxy Tab to the big screen to see things in more detail. If you have a Samsung phone, you can answer calls and texts from the tablet without ever reaching for your phone, too.
This tablet has over 7,000 five-star reviews with tons of fans gushing about how much they love this little machine.
Pros 👍
"I started using it for school and to help me study," one user said. "I ended up buying another since it was so useful and affordable."
"My God, this is super fast. ... If you are watching a video it's like having a small TV in your lap, table or hand. The speed and storage [are] incredible," raved another fan.
Yet another shopper commented on how easy it is to set up. "The device is very thin and much faster and lighter than [the] previous model a Galaxy Tab A8. One of the best features is the Samsung Smart Switch. It transfers all settings, accounts, games and current game data. Painless!"
Cons 👎
One shopper had a small con, but it was more so related to the device's operating system: "I wish I could change the pinned apps. I don't use most of the apps they pinned on the tablet often, but the 'recently used' [section] makes up for that."
And if you're looking for an impressive camera, this reviewer recommends using your phone for that function: "The camera is just okay," noted a final user. "But it's not a deal-breaker as tablets aren't primarily used for that these days anyway."
The reviews quoted above reflect the most recent versions at the time of publication.
If you have Amazon Prime, you'll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.)

iPad 原生 app 第二擊？Instagram 也有望年內上架
Yahoo購物節，6月2至13日正式舉行！集合全球精選著數的網上大型購物節：波鞋低至36折、手袋低至4折、自助餐半價、旅遊產品買一送一等，更有獨家優惠為您而設，把握限時兩星期優惠，1Click買盡全世界！ WhatsApp 上週正式推出了原生 iPad 版本 app，讓用戶可以在 Apple 平板電腦上繼續與親友對話，另一個同屬 Meta 旗下，而且也是至今都沒有 iPad 專用 app 的 Instagram 也似乎即將跟進了。 Bloomberg 的 Mark Gurman 在《Power On》電子報中表示，獲消息指 「Meta 員工正在積極測試 Instagram for iPad，開發工作進行得如火如荼。如果一切順利，預計今年內正式推出。」目前 IG 用戶想要在有更大片螢幕的 iPad 上查看內容，就只能強大放大畫面，與早有 iPad app 的對手 TikTok 相比，實在是落後不少。 據指 Instagram 的 iPad 原生 app 的開發一波三折，而且都不是受礙於技術原因，Gurman 認為 Meta 與 Apple 長久以來的仇怨是其中的原因，因為 Apple CEO Tim Cook 曾在 Cambridge Analytica 隱私醜聞後公開批評 Meta，同時更在 Onavo VPN 被發現有間諜軟件行為的事件後，他們就被公開驅逐出 Apple 開發者計劃。 隨著 Instagram 已經支援高解像度內容的上載和顯示，Reels 也支援橫向影片和更長的時長，IG 生態內容是愈來愈適全在大螢幕上播放，當然也需要迎擊市場上其他同類對手。 更多內容： 15 年磨一劍！Instagram 終於要有單獨 iPad app 了？ Instagram for iPad is reportedly coming soon; here's when to expect it Apple Developer Event Will Show It's Still Far From Being an AI Leader 遲到好過冇到！iPad 版 WhatsApp 終於登陸 App Store 緊貼最新科技資訊、網購優惠，追隨 Yahoo Tech 各大社交平台！ 🎉📱 Tech Facebook： 🎉📱 Tech Instagram： 🎉📱 Tech WhatsApp 社群： 🎉📱 Tech WhatsApp 頻道： 🎉📱 Tech Telegram 頻道：

Billionaire Bill Ackman Wants to Be the Next Warren Buffett, and He Is Buying an AI Stock Up 855% in 10 Years (Hint: Not Nvidia)
Billionaire Bill Ackman will turn Howard Hughes Holdings into a modern-day Berkshire Hathaway in an effort to recreate Warren Buffett's success. Ackman's hedge fund Pershing Square Capital Management recently took a stake in Amazon, an artificial intelligence stock up 855% in the last decade. Amazon has three major growth opportunities in e-commerce, digital advertising, and cloud computing, and the company is using AI to boost revenue and improve margins. 10 stocks we like better than Amazon › In 1965, Warren Buffett took control of Berkshire Hathaway. He said that in hindsight it was a "doomed" textile mill "headed for extinction." But he saved the business, and laid the foundation for lasting growth, by shifting its focus to insurance. That brilliant decision created a steady inflow of investable capital in the form of insurance premiums, and Buffett used that cash to great effect over the years. Berkshire's market value has increased more than 5,500,000% since Buffett took control, for an average annual return of 20% over six decades. Buffett deserves much of the credit. He (along with the late Charlie Munger) engineered acquisitions, stock purchases, and share buybacks that ultimately turned Berkshire into a trillion-dollar business, one of only 11 in the world at this writing. While Buffett plans to step down as chief executive at Berkshire this year, billionaire Bill Ackman hopes to recreate his success with Howard Hughes Holdings. Ackman recently added another 900 million shares to his hedge fund, bringing his total ownership to 46.9%. He plans to turn Howard Hughes into a "modern-day version of Berkshire" by acquiring controlling interests in private and public companies. If Ackman succeeds, he could become the "next Warren Buffett." Here's the artificial intelligence stock he just bought. Bill Ackman ranks among the 20 most successful hedge-fund managers as measured by net gains, according to LCH Investments. And Pershing Square outperformed the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) by 24 percentage points over the last five years. Those accomplishments make Ackman an excellent source of inspiration. Importantly, he purchased three stocks during the first quarter: Hertz Global, Uber Technologies, and Brookfield Corporation. Those trades were disclosed in a Form 13F filed last month, but Pershing more recently added Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), an artificial intelligence (AI) stock that rocketed 855% over the last decade. Pershing's chief investment officer Ryan Israel said: "We felt that the company would be able to work through any slowdown in the cloud computing division Amazon Web Services, and we did not judge that tariffs would have a material impact on the earnings in the retail business." Interestingly, Ackman has a very concentrated portfolio that included fewer than a dozen stocks as of the first quarter. Chipmaker Nvidia was not one of those stocks. Amazon's market value exceeds $2 trillion today, but it could be much larger in a few years. The company has a strong presence in three growing industries, as detailed below: Not only does Amazon run the largest online marketplace in the U.S., but it also expects to gain market share this year. Domestic retail e-commerce sales are forecast to increase 8% annually through 2028, according to eMarketer. Amazon is the third-largest adtech company in the world and is rapidly taking share from industry leaders Google (part of Alphabet) and Meta Platforms. Retail ad spending is forecast to increase 17% annually in the U.S. through 2028, according to eMarketer. Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the largest public cloud operator, as measured by infrastructure and platform services spending. Cloud computing sales are forecast to grow at 20% annually through 2030, according to Grand View Research. Importantly, retail advertising and cloud services revenues not only are growing faster than online retail sales, but also have higher margins. That will make Amazon more profitable over time. But the company is also developing about 1,000 generative AI applications that will improve productivity and efficiency across its retail business, from front-end tasks like customer service to back-end tasks like coding. AWS is ideally positioned to monetize AI. It already operates the largest public cloud as measured by revenue and customers, but it has also introduced new products at all three layers of the computing stack. That includes custom chips for AI training and inference at the infrastructure layer, AI-model development tools like Bedrock at the platform layer, and AI applications like Amazon Q at the software layer. That three-tiered strategy is paying off. CEO Andy Jassy recently told analysts: "Our AI business has a multibillion-dollar annual revenue run rate," and "continues to grow triple-digit year-over-year percentages." Amazon shares soared 855% over the last decade as the company built strong positions in online retail, digital advertising, and cloud computing. And Wall Street is still predominantly bullish. Among the 71 analysts who follow the company, 96% rate the stock a buy, and the median target price is $235 per share, which implies 14% upside from the current share price of $205. Wall Street expects Amazon's earnings to increase at 10% annually through 2026. That makes the current price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 33 look somewhat expensive. But I think analysts are underestimating the company, as they have in the past -- Amazon topped the consensus earnings estimate by an average of 21% during the last six quarters. Long-term investors should feel comfortable buying a small position today. Before you buy stock in Amazon, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the for investors to buy now… and Amazon wasn't one of them.
