Best Buy will price match.

256GB for $999 looks good deal.

Stores around my zip (VA) have this in stock.
Good Deal?

Who would buy this old tech? And if you have a grand, you are better off getting the new one for a couple hundred more.

$300 more, at least they increased the ssd to 256gb for the base model. If you buy the Magic Keyboard that's another $349

Why couldn't they put the quad speakers on air. That would have sold me on the air. Still finding it tough to spend another $400. Anyone have an opinion

$300 for M4 chip, OLED Display, better battery, lighter, and at least 2 more year of OS support. Feels like great $300 improvements.

2 is really fine. If anything I buy pro for OLED. Once you get used to OLED quality, it's hard to downgrade.

No one is going to buy the larger iPad Air lol

Target won't price PM, so I might try Best Buy.

Why not? Same chip as this one. Newer model.

convinced that an iPad is the most mid household thing you can ever spend money on. It will literally just sit there unused for months, for 95% of you thinking of getting one

M2 is not old tech. That's why they put it in the 2024 Air models. Support will be as long as the 2024 Air gets support so probably at least 5 and more likely 7 years. M4 just skipped ahead so it's not that far down the timeline.

Display on the Air is not as good as the Pro. But probably good enough for most people.
Don't get the thumb down. I'd take a A12Z or M1 or M2 pro over "new air" anyday.

There is absolutely no comparison in the quality of experience. Tablets provide feedback to user through visual and audio presentation and the Pros are a whole league ahead of the Airs. Don't know what people are smoking these days.

Yep OLED M4 Pro 13 inch through EDU store is only $1200. So just 20% more for 50% increased CPU performance, 300% increased AI/NPU/TOPS performance, and the new exclusive tandem OLED that's a world first on consumer electronics. Your $5000 OLED TVs don't get up to 1600 nits peak brightness that the new OLED iPads can do. Plus thinner design and everything.

Thanks, Op! Needed this exact model and was about to spend more! I also received 60 day price protection so can adjust with any possible reductions in the next few months.

If you are illustrator or designer, the apple pencil is really game changer.

Comments on here are entertaining. BBY will NOT price match depending on who you talk to online or their phones. CSRs will say they can't because BBY isn't a membership club and BJs, Costco, Sam's, etc. are so not comparable. As to why get this? Because the mini-LED for the same price as LCD M4 Air. M2 will be around for a while and in Pro models will be much more useful than M4 in Air models. The pencil and keyboard situation for the M2 Pro is also much more cost effective. Got a 2022 M2 Pro 12.9 because it was cheaper than M4 Air 13" and is more useful right now.
