Tablets are everywhere these days, but one of the most popular mobile screen families is and has always been Apple’s iPad lineup. In a lot of ways, the iPad put the tablet craze into high gear, and they’re in just as much demand as they were more than a decade ago.
Fortunately, we see a lot of great iPad deals in our line of work. As a matter of fact, we came across this excellent offer as part of the Best Buy Apple Sales Event: This weekend only, when you purchase the 11-inch iPad Pro with Apple M2 (Wi-Fi, 2TB) at Best Buy, you’ll only pay $1,000. That’s a $900 discount, by the way.
We reviewed the 12.9-inch version of the iPad Pro back in 2022, and tester Joe Maring said, “It’s big, expensive, and you probably don’t need it. But if you have the cash to burn, the iPad Pro (2022) is the pinnacle of what a flagship tablet should be.” The Pro with Apple M2 delivers a fast, powerful, feature-packed iPad experience. Out of the box, the tablet gives you up to 2TB of internal storage, plus enough battery life to last an entire day on a full charge!
The iPad Pro is great for multi-tasking, too. Whether that means you’ll have several browser tabs opened simultaneously, or you’re working on a super-big PhotoShop project, the M2 won’t disappoint. You’ll also be treated to 2388 x 1668 resolution, a pixel spread living on Apple’s gorgeous Liquid Retina display with ProMotion, True Tone, and P3 wide color.
Other noteworthy features include a 12MP Wide camera and 10MP Ultra Wide back camera, Wi-Fi 6E support, and USB-C connectivity. This Best Buy Apple Sales Event end on Sunday, March 9, so don’t wait! Take $900 off the 11-inch iPad Pro with Apple M2 when you purchase today.

Affinity’s new all-in-one creative app is finally coming to the iPad, nearly a year after Canva launched the redesigned desktop version for Mac and Windows. Creatives have been asking for the iPad release ever since, especially because files created in the new Affinity app cannot be opened in the older V2 iPad apps.
Affinity already has Photo, Designer, and Publisher apps on iPad, but the new release combines those tools into the same unified app that Canva launched on desktop last year.
Touchscreen laptops have been around for years. You can get them in all sizes and shapes. Just not from Apple. For years, the Cupertino giant has treated the idea of a touchscreen MacBook the way I treat a meeting that could have been an email: with open contempt. However, Wednesday looks like the day the company could finally change its mind.
The latest Apple invite puts the “Pro and Tell” showcase in Los Angeles at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET) on October 28, 2026. Instead of a regular live-streamed keynote, it is an invitation-only, hands-on event for a handful of press and creators (similar to what the company did for the MacBook Neo earlier this year).
Apple has just launched its latest iPad mini with a notable set of upgrades, including an OLED screen, improved speakers, and a more resilient build. It also gets a new chip, and the whole package costs $200 more than its predecessor. But if you look closely at Apple’s online store, you’ll realize that $699 isn’t enough to get you the most powerful version of the A20 Pro chip inside this tablet. In fact, even if you pay $800 for the 256GB model, you still won’t get the beefiest variant. Only when you jump to the 512GB trim, which costs an absurd $999, do you get the most powerful flavor of the A20 Pro.
The $999 model gets more than extra storage
