Doesn't seem worth it when Amazon is selling the regular one for like 250

There aren't any M-series processors in the mini yet right? Given that hard requirement for Apple intelligence feels like you are buying something that will soon be obsolete, unless you really really want the smaller form factor

You needed iphone 15 pro or better to use apple intelligence... and current ipad mini has the A17pro chip in the iphone 15 pro... the bare minimum. Not sure if they will put an M in the mini in the near future.

The 10th gen is two generations behind on the processor, has half the RAM, half the storage, and doesn't have a laminated screen.

Real question, why is this worth buying? I don't understand what makes it an attractive purchase at this price point. Is there a feature or something else that makes this unique?

The form factor. I travel a ton, usually with my laptop and iPad in my backpack, and my phone in pocket. I very much prefer a tablet of this size and weight vs the other models.

I was able to get the price match (the Costco price, because Amazon is with a. Coupon code they don't honor) at Best Buy. Plus I have this $25 off $250 Best Buy offer from American Express Smilie

In store or online chat? Online chat is straight up denying it.

I also price had best buy price match costcos price of 399. Had to chat like 3 times but eventually got them to honor the costco price. I'd say just keep trying online until they agree to it.

thanks for the feedback. i've been in the market for a new ipad and this seems like it has a lot of punch for its size.

Nope, here is my chat reply w/Best Buy:
I absolutely love helping our customers get the product at the best price. In order to keep the spirit of the holiday sale alive, the price match option is disabled with other retailers from 21st November to 2nd December. And our exclusion specifically states, Our Price Match Guarantee does not cover: Qualified Competitor offers including items denoted as Black Friday pricing, special daily or hourly sales and "items for sale the Friday before Thanksgiving Day through the Monday after Thanksgiving.

This year I was told they are not doing blackout days, which is why they price matched the iPad. I bought two of them. I could link my receipt if you want to see it they used to do blackout days, but they don't anymore not this year.

Amazon charges taxes on the $469 before the promo code. I got charged $48 tax in illinois.

I just bought this from Amazon and only got charged sales tax for the $400 price. Tax was $33.00, which is the correct amount in Texas for $400. You may want to contact Amazon about this.
