It's been one month since the new 10.2-inch iPad launched, and we've already seen the tablet at a solid discount of $30 off numerous times the past few weeks. That sale has returned today at Amazon, with the 2020 iPad (32GB Wi-Fi) available for $299.00, down from $329.00.

Unless you're using this in an office environment, I don't know why anyone would buy this in a 32GB configuration. That is just an unethically low amount of storage for a device in 2020.

I sing in a handful of choirs. I've seen some of the other members use an iPad for the sheet music PDFs instead of a folder and paper like I use. I've been curious about how well that would work for me, and the basement $199 price for an iPad is very tempting.

Edit: $299 makes it less appealing. I must have read it wrong.
 
MicroCenter has them right now at $279, so even cheaper than just about anywhere else I've seen them.

My guess is these prices will not go lower as the wholesale price increased unless the big boxes throw in a gift card later in the year.

Its on the stingy side but unless you are generating content or work product (and doing that on a tablet is lunacy in my opinion...) 32gb is more than workable for most.

You could pick up a used or open box 7g for that price and be fine. if your are storing as pdf your whole hymn book would fit.

My mom uses her iPad to watch TV series in bed. That's more or less her only use case. When the iPad was new she occasionally played Candy Crush. So... 32GB more than sufficient.

Same here. I just bought a 32GB iPad for my mother-in-law. The only app I needed to download for her was YouTube. She has no other apps (other than the stock Apple ones, and I deleted all the ones that could be deleted). That’s all she uses her iPad for, literally. Just to watch YouTube. No emailing, no need for a web browser, nothing else.

32GB is pretty enough in case you use it as an e-book ;)
Seems like I write something like this once a day. If you are not a power-user generating work product or storing movies . 32GB is fine. You could store lots of apps , text driven e-books and even save a movie or two for later viewing with that. Being "tech support" for lots of family. When I help them, I very seldom see the memory more than 20GB used on even a few years old devices and they use their devices constantly.
