Any good deals on iPad pro 10.5"?

Mine arrived this morning & picked up from UPS distribution center. I am nearly done setting it up, just synching lots of music and videos. Nearly all my apps translated to the new iPad Pro - though a few were incompatible.

So far I really like it but will put it through it's paces here soon. All my HomeKit add on programs are installed and working well and much easier to view on an iPad Pro 10.5" than on my iPhone X.

So Microcenter is now $200 off on 256 Gb models... Makes me think they need to dump! It's counter intuitive - but now one has to wait for WWDC to see what's replacing the 10.5...

Hmmm... tempted to upgrade my 64GB to 256GB for an extra $50.

My BB definitely will price match, and I traded in my 9.7 last week. I'm still within my return window, so I'll probably just upgrade to the 256GB.

I think I'm going to do this over the weekend. Then, if there's a new pro released in June-September, I can always do this again!

Already locked in a $240 quote for my 9.7.

Yep, I did the same. The $240 seemed on the high-end, even for the online recyclers. And you get a few Best Buy Rewards bucks shopping there. I seem to practically keep my Elite status year-over-year at Best Buy just buying highly-discounted iPads :)

HAHA, same. Between upgrading MacBooks way too often to iPads, I'm in the same boat. I have a $20 gift certificate from rewards points to use towards this (or a cover for it) as well.
 
These feeding frenzy threads are dangerous for onlookers like me. I’m determined to wait for either MR Buying Guide’s “Buy Now” or an irresistible deal on the existing 12.9” but it’s taking serious will power to resist stopping by my Micro Center on the way home.

Can’t go wrong with that price! Generally not having to worry about what you install or download to your iPad is great!
 
Im visiting the US next week and need to upgrade one of our iPads.

My daughter is using a 1st gen iPad Mini and I have a iPad Air2, either gonna get her a new iPad 2017/18 or give her mine and get a 10.5 Pro

Really tempted to go 10.5 Pro but neither Best Buy or Staples mention Microcenter on their price match page and I don't want to pay over 549 for a 64GB, am I likely to have any luck in-store?

If you saw my earlier post, I succeeded in getting Staples to price match Micro Center via Staples's web site even though the closest Micro Center is over 300 miles away from me. For all we know, they've changed their mind.

Best Buy probably won't unless there's a Micro Center is nearby. If Staples won't price match, your best bet is to visit a physical Micro Center. Hopefully there's one near where you're visiting.

Best Buy only seems to match online, in stock, prices - not from a flyer.
 
i'm torn on whether to wait for the new ipp to be announced in june, not to buy one but to see how far this gen ipp will drop. is 630 for a 256gb ipp 10.5 cellular a good deal?

No. I got my 256GB iPP Wi-Fi for $599 yesterday.

i went the ebay route....had a 15% coupon code from 8am-1pm PST. I got it for 675, but after the coupon code it took off $50 ($50 max discount or 15%) it came out to around 625. 256 gb cellular gold (i don't care about color).

I thought it was a good deal.
