Apple makes a lot of great devices, including some of the best tablets money can buy. The iPad Pro line is a particular standout as it comes with substantially boosted power and performance. It’s not a cheap line, though, so being able to save money is a chance you shouldn’t miss out on. Right now, Best Buy has a one-day offer that knocks a massive $1,000 off the M2 iPad Pro.
The exact model on sale today is the 12.9-inch M2 device with 2TB of storage — the largest capacity available — in either space gray or silver. This model originally retailed for $2,199, so it’s almost half off. Best Buy is also throwing in some Apple services for free to sweeten the deal.
While it’s not the latest M4-powered model, the M2 iPad Pro is perfectly capable of all the usual tablet-based tasks like web browsing and watching videos, while also being powerful enough to tackle some hefty work tasks. That 2TB of storage is plenty and 16GB of RAM will keep things fluid while you’re using it. Add on an Apple Pencil or Magic Keyboard and you can turn this into your main computer.
Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.
Along with all of that, you get three months of Apple Fitness Plus, Apple Music and Apple Arcade, and two months of Apple TV Plus as well, making this easily one of the best iPad deals going on right now.
Why this deal matters
Apple’s iPad models get software support for an extremely long time and the hardware is powerful enough to last for many years, too. Investing in an Apple tablet is usually more expensive up front, but will save you from replacing cheaper tablets multiple times. The iPad Pro is basically without equal in the premium tablet space, and Apple prices its iPad Pro models accordingly. The chance to save $1,000 on one is a rare opportunity to get a top-tier device for far less, even if it isn’t the current-gen model.
