If you want Apple’s best tablet, the clear leader is the 12.9-inch iPad Pro M2. But the 2021 M1 version is essentially the same, aside from the chip and the Apple Pencil Hover, and it’s a bargain at this price: Wellbots is selling the 12.9-inch M1 iPad Pro with 128GB of storage and cellular connectivity for $845, a savings of $454.
The 12.9-inch iPad Pro is not only Apple’s largest tablet, it also has its best display, a Liquid Retina XDR display with ProMotion like the 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro. You’ll get an older M1 chip and Wi-Fi 6 instead of 6E, but it’ll be pretty fast and everything else is there, including Face ID, excellent all-day battery life, fast data transfers with a Thunderbolt USB-C. 4 ports and support for the 2nd generation Apple Pencil.
Apple is expected to launch a new iPad Pro in the spring, but it’s expected to get a significant price increase. So if you want Apple’s biggest and brightest tablet, buy one now and save a bundle.
