Apple iPad mini 2 w/ Retina display 16GB WiFi: $250 shipped (Reg. $299)

Apple kept the second generation iPad mini in its current lineup despite it being superseded by iPad mini 3. Although, the retail price was dropped to $299 from $399. iPad mini 3 is a modest (at best) upgrade and the vast majority of reviewers said iPad mini 2 is the best choice for consumers.

Well, Best Buy is making that notion even more definitive by putting the iPad mini 2 on sale for $249.99 with free shipping. That’s $49 below retail and the same price Apple charges for a refurbished unit.

Use your savings to slap an Apple Smart Cover on your new iPad mini for just $16.99 (Reg. $39).

If you’re interested in Apple’s latest full sized tablet, iPad Air 2, then be sure to take a look at the best current trade offer for it. And remember, iPad Air Smart Covers are compatible with iPad Air 2 so don’t overpay for Apple’s “updated” Smart Covers.
