Best Buy today has discounted Apple's M1 iPad Air (64GB Wi-Fi) to a new all-time low price of $399.99 in the Starlight color option, down from $599.99. Best Buy says this deal will last through the end of the day, and it's only available in one color at this record low price.

This is $50 cheaper than the previous all-time low price on the M1 iPad Air. Prices on the 2022 tablet continue to get discounted as we get closer to next week's Apple event, which is expected to include the announcement of an updated iPad Air lineup.

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.

I have one of these. I'd grab one if you're on the fence. Pretty flawless.

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

I'd check used prices first. The days of Apple devices holding their value for years are gone, and a quick eBay search shows 256 GB models can be found for less than this.

You really need to get a screaming deal up front or you get hammered
