Bought the 512GB version from Costco over Christmas for $999, but seems like this is a better deal. $100 more for nano-glass, more storage and (reportedly) more ram.
Yeah, Same here ... Can we still return if we have open and used it for over two weeks now.

I just got the 512 + cellular for 999 last week. is this even worth upgrading?
The Math is Irrefutable
  • Standard 13" M4 512GB: ~$1,499
  • Standard 13" M4 1TB + Nano: ~$2,000 ($1,899 + $100 glass)
You are looking at a ~$900 discount on the 1TB model vs a ~$500 discount on the 512GB model.
Spec Upgrade (The Deal-Breaker)

The 512GB and 1TB models are not the same computer. Apple "bins" the chips for lower storage tiers.
  • iPad Pro 512GB: 8GB RAM + 9-Core CPU (3 Performance Cores).
  • iPad Pro 1TB: 16GB RAM + 10-Core CPU (4 Performance Cores).
The "Matte Shield" Fear

Your concern about the Nano-texture looking like a "matte shield" is partially correct, but often exaggerated.
  • The Downside: In a pitch-black room, the "inkiness" of the OLED blacks will look slightly dark gray/hazy compared to the glossy glass. The "pop" of HDR movies is slightly reduced.
  • The Upside: In literally any other lighting (living room with lamps, office, coffee shop, train, outdoors), the glossy OLED acts like a black mirror. The Nano-texture preserves contrast better in these environments because you aren't fighting reflections of your own face or the window.
  • The Touch: The Nano-texture feels like smooth paper/satin. It is arguably the best surface for gaming (your fingers glide effortlessly without sticking) and Apple Pencil work.

The problem with this is upgrading from my M1 iPad Pro wasn't due to speed. It was due to battery life. Buying higher spec isn't necessary for most. I got the M4 256 cellular for $899 a few weeks ago.
I do really miss the keyboard folio from my M1 though. I wish this was still a option for the M4 but it's not due to the magnet changes Apple did and they didn't update this keyboard to match.

I've seen this multiple times in reviews and kept on insisting I wanted the standard glass, but seeing this laid out again in another digestible read made me pull the trigger

"That's a fair point on the speed—the M1 is definitely still fast enough for most daily tasks, and battery degradation is a huge motivator to upgrade. The Smart Folio loss is painful too; the new Magic Keyboard is great but heavy, and sometimes you just want that lightweight protection.
However, I think the calculation changes when we look at Apple Intelligence and the hybrid AI model we're moving toward (Local + Cloud).
While cloud options like Gemini handle the heavy lifting, Apple is pushing hard for on-device processing for privacy and speed. That local intelligence is extremely RAM-hungry. The 1TB M4 has 16GB of RAM (vs 8GB in the 256/512GB models).

You know, videos, when you're on the go. Internet access can be crappy when traveling.

I have a 11" M5 WiFi 256GB bought at $899 over last Black Friday. Last day for full refund is next week, I'm debating whether to swap with this. Specs are so tempting even though I don't need 90% of it LOL

They really need to add a second USB-C port to these things. It's crazy that a tablet with somuch power is hamstrung with a single port for everything, even my $300 android tablet (Lenovo Y700) has two USB-C ports which is great for charging while outputting video or having accessories attached.

I'm a huge fan of standard glass, and your "math" convinced me to pull the trigger on this deal as well. Thanks! (And thanks to the OP as well.)

Decided to buy the 11" model in silver for $999. Will return my base model M5 iPad Pro this weekend.
