The Black Friday deals range from outrageously good to okay at best, but more than likely consumers will still be lining up at the stores and sitting in front of their computers online.

It’s a good idea to compare the price of tablets to what’s already available, as some Black Friday tablet deals aren’t worth waiting in line for.
