Thumbs up this is an amazing deal.
At launch, the M2 12.9" 2TB Cellular model retailed for $2,399. Here in this deal it was just $1,039.20; that is a whopping over 56% off of its list price. (You'll be very hard-pressed to find a similarly spec'd M4 13" 2TB Cellular model for anywhere near that.)
Apple still has not come even close to unleashing the full power of its M2 chip on iPads (let alone even the M1 chip from the year before), so at this point, the latest M4 models do not really have a discernable use-advantage over the M2 or even M1. That could change with Apple Intelligence coming out soon, but, the 16 GB of RAM in the 1TB and 2TB models sold here will be able to handle that solidly.
The main drawback is the weight, as the 12.9" M2 is quite heavier than the 13" M4. But I'll mostly use it on a stand or elevated case anyway, so that won't really apply for me.
If anything, it's very much possible that a 1TB/2TB M2 with the upgraded 16 GB RAM will be better at handling things like Apple Intelligence than a 256GB M4 with only 8 GB of RAM.
I can guarantee your friend who bought the M4 didn't get a deal like this, and is partially saying what he's saying just to prop himself up and make him feel better about his own purchase. Value-wise, it's a no-contest here.
