If you haven’t been sold on the M2 devices yet and are still looking for a way to bring iPadOS into your workflow, Best Buy is now discounting Apple’s previous-generation 12.9-inch M1 iPad Pro. Putting cellular configurations in the spotlight, pricing now starts from $999.99 shipped for the 256GB capacity. This is down from its usual $1,399 going rate that it still trends at while clocking in at $100 below our previous mention. At $399 off, it’s the lowest we’ve seen this year and within $1 of the all-time low. We’ll break it down below, but there’s also up to $699 in savings across the rest of the lineup.
Even now that the new 2022 model has arrived, the now previous-generation iPad Pro still provides a compelling iPadOS experience centered around a Liquid Retina XDR display with 1,600 nits of peak brightness and ProMotion 120Hz refresh rate. That’s of course alongside an M1 chip to power the experience which is backed by Thunderbolt connectivity, Wi-Fi 6, Apple Pencil support, and Face ID. So if the differences between the new M2 and older M1 models aren’t all that important, today’s discount is a notable way to bring home a flagship tablet for far less. Dive into our hands-on review and then head below for more.
