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.

FYI - Free 1-year of Apple TV+ offer ends June 30th. Make sure you activate the offer by then, otherwise it will be only 3-months.

Ted Lasso [rottentomatoes.com] season 2 releases July 23rd Smilie
New devices stop being eligible starting July 1st. Device purchased on June 30th or earlier will still be eligible to redeem a 1-year trial for 90 days after activation.

That being said this will push me to finally redeem the Apple TV+ trial that came with my device from April.

This is a big YMMV, but you might find one the space gray 128gb iPad Pros on clearance at a Staples store for $399.

I did last week, and that was before applying $120 reward points on it! Btw Staples has removed the product page for it from their website, but this is the Brickseek link for it:

Tried about 20 random zip codes across the US, and Brickseek does not even register any units in the system.

What was the $120 reward points?

Brickseek isn't foolproof for inventories, especially with Staples. But that link shows you the old SKU number, which you could have an employee check while in a store. The rewards points were from two months worth of used ink cartridge recycling as a "Plus" member. That's a "thing" that's no doubt discussed here, if you bother to look into it. Again, finding one is a big YMMV.

Ok, thanks for the clarification. So basically need to hunt store to store. Maybe worth it for those that have the time and fuel. Not my style, so I will pass on that.

And thanks for the details on the reward points. I already know how all of that works. I was just wondering how you amassed yours. I had a hunch it was via ink recycling.

If it makes any difference, Brickseek didn't show any in stock at the Staples store where I got mine. And yet there it was, back in that store's stockroom--the only one.

Oh yeah. You get double the storage. The promotion is great and you can't beat Face ID.

Also Apple (education) is offering the 2021 iPad Pro for $750 with free air pods.

Quote from Krungus :
Just want to throw out there that I own this model and have used it pretty much daily since getting it in September. It's great for what I use it for (WFH) and makes taking a high quality camera and microphone on the road with me to work elsewhere very simple. I got it on the EDU deal at the time, sold the AirPods on eBay and walked away having spent just under $650 on it. It's still an excellent tablet and I hope they'll support it for at least another 3 or 4 years. It just stings that I ended up getting my first iPad in a year that they decided to do an upgrade the very next year. I didn't know much about Apple's history of having done this in the past and assumed it would remain the current model for more than a year. You live and learn, I guess. One thing the 2020 model lacks that I wish it had (other than the M1 and extra ram for future proofing) is the camera that automatically centers you in the frame during video calls. That feature would have the most relevance for me for doing televideo work meetings.
I've used center stage on iPad 12.9 2021 and honestly it's not perfect. Sometimes, it may center in the frame but also show you below the waist, which is not preferable when you're working from home and may not have clothes that are work ready, top to bottom. A lot of times I couldn't figure out why it would show what it's showing. I actually much prefer the video without center stage so that I can control whats on screen. It is very cool the first time we use it like having your own camera guy, but it lacks customization and not intuitive.
