With BestBuy's Student Deal program, this 2020 model is $100 lower than the deals I've see lately. Might be a good alternative to people on the market for an iPad Air, since this is just $80 more than today's Prime Day sales from various vendors and you get twice the storage, 120hz ProMotion display, Face ID, Dual Cameras with Lidar (not that this really matters lol), etc.
  1. Go to https://www.bestbuy.com/site/back-to-school/college-student-deals/pcmcat276200050000.c​ [bestbuy.com] and sign up for BestBuy account and Student Deals (if you have not done so already)
  2. Then go here: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/promo/student-deal-ipad-pro-11-inch​ [bestbuy.com] and you'll see all the models that are $200 off.
For example, the 11" 2020 model with 128GB and A12Z processor is here: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/appl...Id=3756005

Multiple models and configurations are available--including a couple of expensive 2021 M1 model configurations.

Edit: M1 models are sold out.

Its under the checking account. You will have to use your chase debit card in order to get the cashback.
I don't see it there either but I also don't ever use my debit card.

Quote from schlack :
I have this iPad. It's great. Don't know if it was ever worth $800. But at $600 it's a steal. If you're going pro for screen, speakers, mics, and cameras, there's not much difference between the M1 version. On the other hand, if budget isn't an issue. Why not get the newest.

Because the OS is the same...

I would avoid this 2020 model if you plan to carry it in a bag. It's prone to bending. https://youtu.be/hUBsxCcJeUc
The iPad used in that video is the Pro 2018 model. This deal is for the Pro 2020 model. I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you (I have no idea if they've strengthened the design between the model years), but just wanted to point that out for others in the thread.

These are still susceptible to bending, as are the 2021 11" models. Only the 12.9" 2021 versions are slightly thinker (due to the new back-lighting upgrade) and stronger.

I definitely want one of these, but can't decide if it's worth paying $600/700/800. Maybe once the M1 drops to $500-600, I'll bite. Maybe by then, this won't be a glorified browser and consumption device (iOS 15 didn't help).

It's a powerful, top of the line tablet that still has relevant performance, an amazing screen, tons of apps made for it, and is cheaper than a midgrade smartphone. To get this quality screen as well as 4k video editing capability, just to consider a reasonable use case, you will spend more than this on a comparable laptop.

Definition of insanity: having the reality-bending capability to convince yourself that this isn't a screaming deal. Or do you just have some kind of agenda?

I got the 11" 256GB for $649 and I'm super happy with it. I would have gone with the iPad Air 4, but I wanted the ProMotion and FaceID, plus the A14 in the Air 4 is very close in performance and has 4GB of RAM vs. 6GB on the Pro. I just don't need the M1 performance in my iPad. I already put have an M1 MacBook Air, so it can do my heavier lifting if need be.

Purchasing this rather than the new M1 is far more rational, given Apple's performance limitations.

What? You make no sense

I have the 2018 version. I'm considering selling that to buy this since it has double the storage. Then again there isn't much of a difference and I think I would want to upgrade to the 12.9 with the new screen, though it's having issues I hear.
