If you’ve been looking around for solid iPad deals, look no more! Best Buy offers some of the best markdowns on Apple’s mobile tech, and right now you can purchase the 10.9-inch iPad Air (5th Gen) with Apple’s M1 chip for $530. That’s a $220 discount compared to the tablet’s normal pricing. 

Why you should buy the 10.9-inch iPad Air

The iPad is far more than a run-of-the-mill tablet. In fact, one could argue that this mobile Apple tech is an all-hands-on-deck portable workstation. While the M1 was the company’s first stab at in-house processors, it produces some impressive results. You can expect blistering-fast performance from browsing to apps; all of which will be experienced on the 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display with sRGB colors and True Tone capabilities.

Equipped with 256GB of internal storage, you should have plenty of bytes to store all your most important documents, photos, videos, and music files. Of course, you can always sign up for extra iCloud storage if push comes to shove.

Available in Blue, Space Gray, Pink, Purple, and Starlight colors, the 10.9-inch Air also feature a USB-C port for keeping your iPad packed with battery and loaded with data. On a full charge, you can expect around 10 hours of use.

The 5th Gen iPad also has an impressive camera system. You’ll have your choice of two lenses: a 12MP Ultra Wide front cam with Center Stage and a 12MP Wide lens. Whether you’re photographing a subject up close or very far away, you can expect awesome visuals. Plus, it’s a breeze to alter and enhance images with the iPad Photos app.

We’re not sure how much longer this deal is going to last, so take advantage while you can: Score the 10.9-inch iPad Air with Apple’s M1 for only $530 while the sale lasts. And while you’re still here, you could also have a look at the best tablet deals we found this week. We have a list of other great Apple deals too!

The 11-inch iPad Pro M2 sold out, but you can get the iPad Pro M4 for the same price
iPad Pro with M2 inside.

If you've been looking forward to the arrival of this year's Cyber Monday Apple deals. it's time to get excited. There are some excellent deals. Best Buy was offering the Wi-Fi + Cellular model of the 11-inch Apple iPad Pro M2 for only $1,099, following a $1,000 discount that nearly halved the tablet's original price of $2,099. But since there's always high demand for savings on Apple's iPad from Cyber Monday deals, that offer is sold out. Don't panic, though. Best Buy also has the 11-inch Apple iPad Pro with M4 Chip for the same price -- $1,099. It's only a savings of $100, down from $1,199, but that's still a fantastic price. We highly recommend shopping this deal before it sells out too.

 
Why you should buy the 11-inch Apple iPad Pro M4 instead
The Apple iPad Pro M2 wasn't the latest version of the powerful tablet -- that distinction goes to the Apple iPad Pro M4, yet both have rightfully taken their place in our list of the best iPads as the best premium option. Since the first deal on the M2 model sold out, you're getting the best of the best right now for the same price, anyway.

The 9th Gen iPad with Apple’s A13 Bionic chip is only $200 today

The Apple iPad has been a popular holiday item for several years now. With Cyber Monday officially here, we’re excited to see so many great iPad deals available. That leads us to this offer we found: For a limited time, when you purchase the 9th Gen iPad with A13 Bionic, you’ll only pay $200. At full price, this iPad sells for $480. We had the opportunity to test this model a while back, and our iPad expert had the following to say: “The iPad 10.2 (2021) is the best iPad you can buy today. There are few discernible upgrades over the previous two generations, but if you don't have one, this is the one to get. If you do, there's no point in upgrading.” If that's not a solid argument for grabbing this 9th Gen iPad deal, I don't know what is.

Why you should buy the 9th Gen iPad
Even though the A14 version of the iPad was released back in 2022, it’s not unusual for Apple to still sell the A13 version brand-new. And then, when holidays like Cyber Monday and Christmas roll around, the company knocks a few extra dollars off this 2021 device. Don’t be fooled either: the Apple A13 Bionic is an incredible chip that delivers a buttery smooth iPadOS experience, complete with fast load times, animations, and excellent media playback.
