If you missed this, don’t worry, we very nearly did too. Amazon’s Prime Day Sale ends today, and scouting the top deals still standing, we noticed an Apple iPad Pro 13-inch tablet. It’s the latest M5, 1TB model, and it comes with two years of AppleCare. But it’s not priced as you may expect.

Despite not being flagged as a Prime Day deal, this $1,899 device has fallen by $100 on Amazon. Right now, we’re looking at it for $1,799. There’s no discount noted, but price tracker Camelcamelcamel suggests the price drop is new today (see image further down). Certainly, the MSRP for this model is $1,899, making this a quiet win you’d have to notice.

Why we like the Apple iPad Pro 13-inch (M5)

Excellent performance

For creative or work-related tasks, you get what you pay for with the iPad Pro. It’s a stunning, sleek, high-class tablet that thrives on productivity, easily helping to complete whatever project you’re working on. The M5 chip is wonderfully engineered and takes performance and power efficiency to a new level.

Ultra Retina XDR

A screen is as core to a tablet as anything, and this is what Apple calls the world’s most advanced display. It does a lot to fit the bill, with stunning brightness, contrast, True Tone, P3 wide color, and ProMotion. So you can expect a vivid, enjoyable, and smooth experience throughout the day.

Storage and speed

This 1TB variant of the iPad Pro 13-inch M5 offers plenty of storage for apps, media, files, photos, and project data. And with 16GB of RAM, the tablet won’t lack speed, helping you keep your task list progressing. At this price, you wouldn’t expect slow performance. The iPad Pro doesn’t know what that is.

What to consider before you buy

A $100 on a $1,900 tablet is good, but it’s sensible to ensure that the device fits your needs. For example, this tablet is the WiFi model, and doesn’t support cellular data connections. If that’s something you need, then take note. This model also comes with the standard glass, rather than nano-textured glass (which adds $250). And while there’s no option to remove AppleCare+ to save money, you should compare prices, models, and bundles to get the deal that works for you.
