When we say open-box excellent condition, we are taking about Geek Squad certified gear that “works and looks like new.” It has also been “restored to factory settings” and includes “all original parts, packaging and accessories (or suitable replacement).”

That’s clearly not going to be enough to warrant the extra $67 in savings for some, but, for others, every penny counts and these are the absolute lowest total we can find from a reputable source right now.

While Apple’s new M2 iPad Air may have been downgraded to a 9-Core GPU – there was a mix up at Apple, but all performance claims since the reveal have been based on the 9-Core CPU anyway (details here), it nonetheless remains one of the more compelling options for more casual users, or at least those who just don’t need to spend M4 iPad Pro money. It lands with an 11- or 13-inch Liquid Retina Display, the new 12MP camera sliding down the landscape edge of the machine, Wi-Fi 6E support, TouchID, and USB-C connectivity for externals.

It is also ready for the new Apple Pencil Pro that happens to be down at the best price we have tracked since release in new condition.
