Thanks to community member praksk for finding this deal

It's about convenience. I bought it from Costco but paid $5 extra to ship it to the store (it would get stolen from my porch), but I have a membership. My local BB is closing up so they aren't getting new merchandise. MC is close to me and doesn't charge for picking up in-store.
Side note, I think this is the best price point for the device. It'll be the last Lightning (don't like) and home button iPad (like). The end of an era. It'll last me at least 5 years and still be better than any Android tablet on the market. And I'm stating that as an Android phone user since the OG Droid and Windows user since I built my first AMD K6 desktop in HS. Apple makes the best tablets, period.
It has been this price for multiple times and from other sellers like bestbuy costco. Don't really see the benefit to buy it from MC.

This is better gaming than tab s8 performance wise...you haven't used an iPad recently, I have used both, tab s8 with 8gb ram struggle's against 3gb ipad
If I were gaming, I'd simply get a gaming handheld...
Why frustrate myself with an ipad that CAN'T run tons of games and emulators?
With a GPD Win Max or One Netbook, I can run the latest PC games + all the emulators from Atari 2600 to NES to Dreamcast to PSP to PS1-3 + all the latest Android games.
....
But really up to the buyer's needs and priorities.
For media, web, photos, oled Samsung is superior.
No non-oled apple display on any device can beat an oled (which is why they even had to move their iPhones to oled displays to compete). Plus, none of the ipad awkward display aspect ratio causing excessive letterboxing.
For first person shooters, refresh rate of the Oled Samsung beats out all ips/va/tn tablet displays.
But if it's the handful of top ios apps and games, iPad it is.
E.g.
Samsung Galaxy tab ultra s8.
Oled. Period.
Faster pen response rate, 3x faster.
Flexible windows and sideloading.
Excellent game emulator performance
Etc.
Wouldn't touch an iPad nowadays. Even got the entire ecosystem free from iPhone to iPad to macbook and got rid of them all because they all do less than better competitors....
....
That said, good price for a basic web/media/light gaming tablet.
OK... now show me a $250 Android tablet that can touch a 2021 iPad.

$220-250 iPad, $99-250 iPhone SE, $800 M1 macbook are insane value. Who know Apple be the value kings with premium quality build and killer specs.
The only recent Android tablet comes close for insane value is Onn Octo core tablet for $60-$80.
I actually prefer it over my iPad A13 , amazon crap fire 10.1.
Premium Metal case, battery life is 10-15 hrs, runs fast enough for 1080p youtube and basic web scrolling, usbc , 32gb+1tb sdcard, stereo speakers. Perfect for kids or seniors if you get a clean copy.
