If you're looking for an even cheaper entry-level Apple tablet, Best Buy also has record low prices on the 10th gen iPad. The 64GB Wi-Fi iPad is on sale for $349.00 and the 256GB Wi-Fi model is on sale for $499.00, both of which are $100 discounts.

As long as iPads are stuck with iPadOS, the M1 provides more than enough power.

Buy it, watch the event and return it OR if you don't like what you see just keep this.
