Today only, as part of its Deals of the Day and now sitting alongside this week’s Best Buy Spring Sale event, we spotted a big-time clearance deal on the spec’d out 2TB 12.9-inch M2 iPad Pro. You’re looking at machine that carried (and still carries at Best Buy) a $2,199 list price down at $1,199 shipped – that’s $1,000 off the original list price.
We typically see this previous-generation M2 Pro at closer to $1,599 or so at Best Buy, which is, by the way, typically the best place to score big-time price drops on previous-generation iPad Pro units.
This clearly no M4 iPad Pro, but we are talking about one generation back here – Apple skipped over the M3 chip with its iPad Pro line. It also sports a USB-C port on the bottom (like all of the latest models) and the M2 chip that rested inside of the iPad Air right up until just a little over a month ago – it’s certainly not new or anything, but we are not talking about some entirely ancient piece of kit here.
For the record, a 1TB M4 iPad Pro carries a $2,299 list price and is currently on sale for $2,099 at Amazon where it has never sold for less than $1,999 in Space Black and $1,899 in Silver. Today’s deal is, in other words, $700 under the best price we have ever tracked on the comparable M4 machine – it’s clearly going to be a looooong time before we see the M4 in brand-new condition anywhere near the price we have here today.
All of that said, some folks just aren’t going to willing to spend this kind of cash on a previous-generation iPad, and we get it. So let’s quickly take stock of the best deals across the M4 lineup:
