Right now Amazon and Walmart have the 128GB 11” M1 iPad Pro for $749. Pretty solid deal if you don’t need a ton of storage and want an 11”. I just picked one up (Priced matched with Best Buy for the Rewards) and it‘s a huge upgrade from my 2017 10.5 Pro.

I got the new 11 inch pro for $719 before tax from apple using vet discount. Also got $280 trade on my old 10.5. Definitely an upgrade over the 10.5 for speed.

I will wait until it's $100 off.

Yep. One webpage where it made a noticeable speed difference for me is the Amazon Edit Browsing History. That page could turn quite unresponsive on my 2017 Pros.

Other than the speed difference , it’s still an iPad and for my use case I’d probably be happy with the air if the air had promotion and centered speakers

$649 (and more with eligible cash back card) with $100 off 500+ coupon @ Costco (list price $749) is one helluva deal ;)

This is a lukewarm deal imo

For me, it’s the storage and 5G that brought me to the Pro. Wish the Air had at least the 512GB option.

I thought Best Buy didn't allow you to accumulate reward points for the majority of apple products? (Tablets, Phones, MacBooks, iMacs)

Well it isn’t a “hell” of a deal given the 11-inch doesn’t have the new mini LED screen ? but this iPad is good.

If I recall, they will only if you charge on your BestBuy credit card.
