Most people don't get to use the M2 chip to its maximum potential, much less in a tablet. M2 iPad Pros are more powerful machines than most people's laptops, and more power than most people need in a tablet, but who cares? More power never hurt anyone. Right now, both the 11" and 12.9" M2 iPad Pros are discounted starting at $949 and $999, respectively. This is a great opportunity for anyone looking for a new M2 Chip iPad, which is discontinued by Apple and hard to find new from reputable retailers. Woot only ships to the 48 contiguous states in the U.S. If you have Amazon Prime, you get free shipping; otherwise, it’ll be $6 to ship.
If you're wondering if the 4th Generation iPad Pro is still worth it in 2024, consider what Lifehacker's Senior Technology Editor Jake Peterson notes about the M1 chip: It is still a fantastic chip even three years after its release. The M2 is more modern and faster than the M1, and of course, Apple will theoretically support the M2 a bit longer than the M1.
As is often the case with these kinds of Woot deals, don't expect the deal to last until the Sept. 16 deadline—they will likely sell out way before then. Only the 12.9" iPad Pro has the WiFi and Cellular version, which allows you to use cellular signal and not depend on wifi.
Something to keep in mind is that these iPads are European models, meaning they come with a European power adapter, but they will also include the U.S. power adapter in the box. Other than that, they will run just like the American version.
You can expect about 10 hours of battery life, a laptop-level fast performance, powerful cameras capable of recording 4K videos, and big screens with 2,732 by 2,048 resolution from these iPads. You can read more about the 12.9" version on PCMag's "excellent" review.
