With Black Friday upon us, the best deals of the year on many products are kicking off. Any time there’s savings on Apple (AAPL) products, there’s a demand and that’s even higher during this holiday season. The company rarely pays attention to the Black Friday sales and do not offer direct discounts, but that doesn’t mean you can’t grab yourself a good deal today.

Staples is also selling 64GB models of iPad Air 2 WiFi at a $150 discount, and Best Buy is offering 16GB and 64GB models of iPad Air 2 WiFi only at a $100 discount.
Smartwatches, medical devices for home use, man-boy toys, appliances and much more are on MacMall’s list [PDF] for the Black Friday 60-Hour Sale. The retailer is allowing Black Friday shoppers to grab a 13-inch MacBook with RAM of 4G and storage of 128GB for just $949.95 and save $50.04 in the process.
Sales of tablets have been lagging, but retailers are hoping to move a lot of them on Black Friday 2015 with steep discounts and gift card incentives. For electronics, MacMall, dealer of various Apple and other electronic products, now has some of the best deals. The two iPad models are very similar but there are enough differences to set them apart.
Apple Senior Vice President of Worldwide Marketing Phil Schiller speaks about the prices for iPad Pro on stage during a Special Event at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium September 9, 2015 in San Francisco, California.
Apple unveiled the iPad Mini 2 on November 12, 2013, and was the first tablet in the series to feature a Retina display. This is certainly something a feature no laptop can claim. “The upgrade from the A7 chip with M7 motion coprocessor to A8 chip with 64-bit architecture and M8 motion coprocessor as well as the upgrade from 1GB to 2GB of RAM resulting in 1.3x faster CPU and a 1.6x faster GPU are upgrades worth paying extra”. In a report with Yahoo, the iPad Pro also runs on the A9X chip giving it “desktop performance”. “However, the same can not be said of some of the other upgrades” says a critical Donalds.
That assessment has resulted to rumors that the upcoming 2016 Apple MacBook Air could be the last of the notebook line because Apple wants to give priority to the iPad Pro.

Ah, Black Friday, glorious day for consumers. Do not let the discount dictate the decision on which iPad to go with.
