Best Buy is currently offering a free magic keyboard with purchase of a 4th gen iPad pro 12.9.
You have to add both to cart and then hit apply at checkout.
Must be eligible and signed up for student deals.
This essentially works out to be the same price for the iPad as the BJ's deal for the 256Gb model.

Edit: Some people noted the price doesn't reflect in the cart. It didn't for me either. There's an actual "Apply" button under the promotion in the cart you have to click in order for the discount to apply. Didn't know it was a thing until this deal.

Suggest focusing on M1 iPad Pros for most uses; it's significantly faster.
You will be absolutely fine with the 2020 models for a LONG TIME.

Define "fine" ? If I can get something 20-50% faster, *and* something that will have another year of Apple support, that has value to me. It's also on the M1, and it's quite possible that Apple will put more OS development dollars onto the M1 vs. the older chips.
What I'm saying is that this new M1 does not translate into something that is a must get if you already own or want to buy a new iPad with pro-motion display. It's only offered on the 12.9 but I bought the M1 12.9 because I wanted that display. These 2020 model deals are great - of course again I'm restating that if you can score an M1 at this discount then of course you'd go for it. Otherwise don't bother. the 2018-2020 models are just as good.
The RAM? sure if you have tens of apps open. Otherwise the only way you would see a difference is when you encode video and even then it'll save you maybe 30-50% at best. the M1 is completely overkill because iPadOS is just terribly underpowered.
