Update Oct. 10 at 3:54 p.m. ET: Amazon offers the Pixel Tablet for $319 now that Prime Big Deal Days is over. This is still a great deal since this tablet is rarely discounted.

As expected, Amazon October Prime Day features Black Friday-like deals on top-rated tablets. One prime example (see what I did there?), is Laptop Mag Editor's Choice Google Pixel Tablet for $299. It normally costs $399 so you're saving $100 with this generous offer.

More importantly, you're getting one of our favorite Android tablets for its lowest price ever — and you don't have to wait for Black Friday.

In our Pixel Tablet review, we loved its slick, stylish design, snappy performance, and 12-hour battery life. I've owned my Pixel Tablet for five months now and I cosign these welcome attributes. What's more, the feel of Android running on a Google device offers a true Android experience.

With the Pixel Tablet, I cast my favorite South African streaming app, Showmax on my TV. With Chromecast built-in on both, streaming is smooth and the picture quality is superb. When I'm not streaming on my TV, everything looks just as great on the colorful display and the speakers are robust so it doesn't sound like a tweeter box.

If you prioritize performance, battery life, and great sound, the Pixel Tablet ticks all the boxes. Now just under $300, the Pixel Tablet is at its best price yet. I highly recommend it if you're looking for a tablet to complete your Google ecosystem.

Don't buy if: You're looking for a laptop replacement or a tablet you'll mostly use for streaming content. If you're looking for a productivity tablet, the Galaxy Tab S7 FE with S Pen might suit you better.
