Best Buy has a special promotion that can net you an additional $50 if you have access to a .edu email address. If you don’t have a .edu email address, then I suggest reaching out to a friend or family member who does. After acquiring access to a .edu email, simply head to this promo page and submit the email address. Best Buy will email you a unique promo code that can be entered at checkout to take an extra $50 off any iPad mini with Retina display.

It features a 7.9″ 2048×1536 resolution display, A7 chip with M7 motion coprocessor, and 802.11n WiFi with MIMO technology.
