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.

This is a solid deal for the iPad, basically a super charged iPad.

Decided to return the iPad Air 4 to order this instead.

For $80 more, you get an extra 2GB RAM, 2 more speakers, 120 Hz screen, and double the storage (128GB vs 64GB).

The trade off is the A12z is older than the A14 and a bit slower in single threaded performance. Also Face ID on the Pro instead of Touch ID on the Air.

I think the boost in RAM and storage will make this Pro more future proof than the Air 4 actually, even taking the CPU into account.

I had to make that decision as well last fall and went with the pro also. The storage, the speakers, the ram, and the promotion were the deciding factors for me. I wish mine was blue though! Always have to sacrifice something no matter what 😆

Quote from dgb1891 :
Thanks for the reply! Use case would be general everyday use. I haven't used an iPad since the iPad 2 and I just wasn't that impressed with it back then. I would like to get into procreate and do some basic graphic designing. That's the only thing keeping me from the M1 Mac Air.

I can't speak to graphic designing but when researching getting the iPad I saw a lot of folks in graphic design use the iPad Pro for that type of work, though you might want to go to the 12.9" if that is what you'd be using it for. For everyday stuff, and what I use it for, it's perfect.

Quote from NMStormCrow :
Unless Apple unexpectedly revamps iOS to take advantage of all this hardware capability, I doubt you'll really have a much different experience on your iPad compared to the new model if that makes you feel better.

That's what I've been reading/hearing on YouTube. I still wish I had that Center Stage feature as a heavy televideo user. For everyone WFH and using FaceTime/Zoom/Skype/Google Meet regularly, that's a sweet upgrade. However, being on the other end of meetings with people who have cameras adjusting all the time sometimes gets nauseating. So, maybe it's a feature and not a bug to not have my camera constantly adjusting 🤔

Should I go this deal or iPad Air 4 64gb for $520 (yesterdays deal)?

Seems like 600 is a big jump, but wondering if the tech is worth it

It's worth the extra $80

with ultimate rewards, I can get a ipad pro 2021 for $650 (using points including taxes). or would a air 4 be better for $550. I have been on the fence for a while. i currently have air 1 and air 2. they work great for what they are; kids using them for school. the problem that the air 1 is - 16gb and not enough space all the time. with the new ipad, it will mainly be used by the kids. they also have laptops already.

i use my macbook pros most of the time.
That's a poor use of UR points.
