'ZDNET Recommends': What exactly does it mean?

ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.

When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.

ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services.

Apple is notorious for having high-quality -- albeit high priced -- products that never really go on sale. So when you snag a discount on any Apple product, it's worth noting. 

And, if you can spot a deal on Apple's most powerful and impressive tablet -- the iPad Pro -- it's worth buying. The iPad Pro is by far the most expensive tablet Apple makes, but there are still discounts to be had, especially around the holiday shopping season. 

While ZDNET editors are collecting the best iPad deals we could find in a separate guide, I couldn't help but notice there are so many iPad Pro models on sale. Whether you want last year's model (5th generation) or the latest and greatest with an M2 chip (6th generation), there are dozens of discounts available at all the top retailers, including Amazon, Best Buy, and B&H Photo.

Here are the best iPad Pro sales -- listed below for you to quickly peruse, add to your cart, and move on with your day.

Best iPad Pro deals 

Below are the four best iPad Pro deals we found could find. Further down the page, you'll see other interesting tablet deals we spotted at Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart.

  • Current price: $1,599
  • Original price: $1,799

This is Apple's largest tablet and most powerful with a 12.9-inch superior display for lifelike images and graphics. This tablet is hailed as a great device for professional editing and content creation, and at $200 off, you can get it at a less expensive price.

  • Current price: $51.36/month
  • Original price: $55.52/month

You can get the latest iPad Pro with the powerful M2 chip for $51.36 per month over 36 months with 0% APR (meaning you'll save $150 total). This 12.9-inch iPad Pro comes with Wi-Fi and cellular from Verizon, plus 1TB, meaning plenty of storage. The M2 8-Core chip means it's packed with a 10-Core GPU that provides up to 35% faster graphics performance and a 16-Core Neural Engine with 40% faster machine learning. 

  • Current price: $1,000
  • Original price: $1,250

The smaller iPad Pro with the M1 chip is $250 off at Amaon for a price tag of $1,000, which is not bad for Apple's most powerful tablet. It comes with Wi-Fi 6 and a stunning 11-inch Liquid Retina display with ProMotion, True Tone, and P3 wide color.

  • Current price: $849
  • Original price: $899

For less storage space, you can get the 11-inch iPad Pro with the M2 chip for just under $850. It supports the 2nd gen Apple Pencil and the latest iPad OS 16 so you can get anything done.

How did we choose these iPad Pro deals?

We chose these deals on iPad Pro models based on the discounted price and how often a specific model goes on sale. Deals on iPad Pro tablets change weekly and even daily, so if you're interested in the best discounts, be sure to check a retailer's website often for deals of the day. 

Is it worth buying an iPad Pro now?

We named the iPad Pro the best iPad overall, so in our opinion, it's worth buying. Especially if you can find it on sale, get on it, since this is one expensive tablet. 

Can an iPad Pro replace a laptop?

Yes, it can. The new M2 chip makes it a powerhouse tablet, and, when combined with iPadOS, it is as close as you can get to a laptop without actually buying a laptop. 

Plus, you get the benefit of being able to use the 2nd gen Apple Pencil.
