There's really no point in sitting around and waiting for Black Friday to score a goodgreat deal on an iPad. On this random Wednesday in November, we're already seeing a record-low price on the 13-inch M2 iPad Air.

Released earlier this year, the M2 iPad Air has seen many discounts over the last six months — including on Prime Day and Prime Big Deal Days. But none have been as impressive as today's $200 discount. As of Nov. 13, you can grab the 13-inch M2 iPad Air with 512GB of storage and WiFi connectivity for just $899 instead of $1,099. That's an 18% discount and the lowest price on record by around $100. There's just one catch: The discount is only available on the purple model.

Aesthetically, not much changed between the 2022 iPad Air and the 2024 iPad Air, but internally the M2 chip gives it an impressive upgrade. As Mashable's Kim Gedeon noted in her review, "The M2 chip brings sweet energy efficiency and a performance uptick." Its zippy performance allows it to keep up with the big dogs, including some of our favorite laptops — like the Asus Zenbook Duo. Not to mention, its battery life lasted three hours longer than expected when we tested it (13 hours versus the promised 10).
