Do you think that an iPad pro 11 2018 1TB cellular new is a good deal at $900?
I wanted to wait for the 2021 one, but this one is cheaper than the base model 2020 (cellular), sounds like a deal that should not be missed. What do you think?

Pretty good deal i think. I have a none cellular refurb for 605 with 64gb. Can you wait till the 2021 come out because the price will forsure decrease across the board. If not I'd just on it if you really need the 1tb.

The 1TB gives you 6GB RAM, that's why. And my guess it that the 2018 is going to disappear as a new device.

Take it! You get the 6GB RAM like the 2020 models, should be good for many years to come.

Guys, I did take it and actually I paid even less. There was also a surface book 2 15in on sale for $1200, which I bought too, and they offered a 10% credit on it to spend on other things, which I used for the iPad, so I ended up paying 780 for this maxed out iPad pro....
Time to start selling my 10.5 (256GB cellular with quite a good deal of accessories). I'll see if I can get half of the price of this 11in for that.

Thanks. The S7+ with expandable storage spoiled me. Now I can put all my movie collection on this iPad too.
One advantage of the 2018 pro is that it's easier to find the smart keyboard for much cheaper since a lot are selling after moving to the magic one (and I already had the pencil 2 from last year, found for $60). As for the magic one I'll wait till I find a good price, including used, don't feel like spending $300....

Living truly up to your username lol, this is the sort of thing we expect to see from a true “Digital guy” :D

Enjoy all your new tech!

Thanks! I had missed this message, until someone just liked it a few minutes ago...
Well I found a smart keyboard in very good conditions for $70 and I have realize in the meantime that I don't really need a magic keyboard. I keep the smart keyboard attached virtually all the time as I do with all my iPads pro and I don't replace a laptop with them (actually my new surface book is so good that it has replaced my main laptop). So it's too heavy to carry around the house as I do with my 11in... so I would be swapping the 2 keyboards all the time.. for little benefit since I don't type a ton on the iPad...and honestly the surface book keyboard is better than the magic keyboard anyway in my opinion...
