The Black Friday sales are finally here and there's some decent discounts this year on tablets. A highly desirable piece of tech, a tablet works as well for entertainment such as streaming video, listening to music and playing games as it does for work and study productivity. You can clip a keyboard onto many tablets, and use other accessories such as a pen. The top four brands are all included in this year's sales. You will be able to find an Apple iPad, Amazon Fire, Samsung Tab or Microsoft Surface to suit your budget. Lenovo and Huawei aren't as well known but they make decent tablets and are well worth looking out for.

Surprisingly, the sales this year have featured many of the latest models. There's up to £120 off Samsung Tab 7 models and Amazon has reduced almost all of it's Fire range by up to half price. Apple doesn't join in the Black Friday sales but you can snap up an iPad from other retailers with a small saving.

The best Microsoft Surface deals

The Microsoft Surface is a Windows-based device that bridges the gab between the flexibility of a tablet and the functionality of a laptop. It's a highly portable device that works well for anyone who doesn't really want to give up using a keyboard.The latest Microsoft Surface tablet is the Pro 8 and we don't expect to see this in the sales this year. For UK buyers, if you can still find a retailer with stock, the Microsoft Surface Pro 7 256GB SSD is on sale with more than £250 off. Right now it's available at Amazon, with a saving of £288. There are similar offers for US buyers and again the best price we found was a Microsoft Surface Pro 7 with a discount of $199 at Amazon.

The best Amazon Fire deals

The Amazon Fire is a highly affordable range of tablets that are perfect for basic tasks such as watching movies and TV shows, browsing the internet and writing emails. The Fire tablet tops the lists when it comes to Christmas gifts, and this year Amazon has reduced its Fire range by up to half price in the sale. This includes the popular Kids series of Fire tablets.

The best Lenovo & Huawei deals

If you're not worried about getting one of the big brands, then you can do well with a tablet from Lenovo or Huawei. In testing both these models fare comparatively well, plus they are both well established technology brands. Lenovo is well known for high-end, highly portable business laptops. For UK buyers, if you opt for the Lenovo deal offered by John Lewis you'll also get a two year guarantee included.
