đŸ˜‚ lots of people work on their iPads, or use them for school and like to be able to connect without WiFi or a hotspot.

Do I really want this thing? I've been waiting for this exact type of deal all this time. Is now finally the time? Am I going to regret passing on this if I let this one go? Will I truly be happy? What is my opportunity cost of buying this? Will this purchase yield the best utility for me for the money? Why do I need a third iPad?

Obviously Apple overshot the mark with demand. I love my iPhone and MacBook Pro, but I find iPads useless as I am not an artist. The note taking is horrible. Portable LED TV with 5G for 800? That would be my primary motivation.
It's better than LED quality. Retina is in a league on its own.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank revoc

The only tablets I've ever used were iPads. Recently I've switched over to the Samsung Tab S9. Android is just better - more options, settings, ways of doing things. Finally I think the hardware matches or exceeds Apple's which is why I decided to make the switch now.

The deciding point for me was the display quality of the Tab S9. Samsung makes great displays and I don't think they emphasize this enough in marketing messages.

You can find these popping up on Best Buy for $499 for the WiFi models. I just purchased a refurb M1 256 GB 12.9 the other day for $599.

They say sold out, but just have them email you when it comes back in stock, and they will. They pop up every few days.

Yes they do, but those aren't marked down as much as the WiFi variants.

I'm still hoping for the 11" miniLED screen.

I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet.

Why not just use a MacBook Air? Much more practical and capable IMO instead of carrying around one of these with the separate keyboard, and have to deal with the tablet IOS limitations.
Because MacBook Airs don't have cellular. Or GPS. Or rear cameras. Or a touch screen. And you can't detach the keyboard.

The iPad Pro is a great traveling device. I have a MacBook Pro and and iPad Pro. My MacBook goes with me to and from work, getting docked at home. When I'm not working and traveling, I grab the iPad every time. Back camera, GPS, cellular, touch screen. Way nicer to consume media on. And, side bonus, it acts as an additional monitor for my setup with Sidecar.

MacBooks are also a pain to use on your lap, etc, because you end up blocking the vent ports and they overheat easier. No worries with the iPad.

Sitting at a desk/table? MacBook is better.
Anywhere else? iPad is better.

It looks kinda silly though reading on this big iPad on public transportation. I would probably just listen to music or read book on Kindle.

But if you also have an iPhone pro max that has all of those things (Cellular, GPS, rear camera, touch, etc) there are diminishing returns on the iPad over the MacBook Air, no?

What is the purpose of the cellular on an iPad? Does one walk around using the ifad as a phone and look silly?
I have an iPad Pro I use as a laptop replacement. I'm on call a lot at work, it goes in my bag. As long as I have service, I'm good. Otherwise I would be required to have a hotspot with me while on call. SIM cards and hotspots have been available for laptops for decades at this point. This is no different.

A 2 year old iPad with 128GB for $800 and you people still consider this is a good deal. What am I missing ? Just because it is made by the Apple tree ?

No one seems to listen, so why bother telling them ? đŸ™„ I for once have stopped supporting them.

Samsuck I mean Samsung is the way to go if you are looking for an alternative that beats their Apple counterparts.

I can't seem to find where I can select to have them notify me when it's back in stock. Can you kindly help me?

It's a great deal if you need cellular connectivity on a tablet because even the cheapest tier iPad 10th gen with cellular is $750 new for 128gb and this is much better for $50 more. I have an entirely Pixel/Galaxy household except for iPads because Apple supports tablets for such a long time that it comes out so much cheaper. My iPad Air 2 ($500) had 8 years of OS updates from 2014-2022 (and a security update from 6 days ago, 9/21/2023). During that same interval, I've gone through the Nexus 9 ($400), Pixel C ($500), and Pixel Slate ($800) due to the short lifespan of Android device support. The new Google Pixel tablet ($500) promises 3 years of OS updates and 2 years of security updates. A $900 Galaxy Tab S9 has 4 years of updates. This will outlast both.
