Best Buy slashes $100 off iPad Air 2 (from $399), $200 off MacBook Pro with CD/DVD ($899), $150 off iMacs (from $899)

By AppleInsider Staff

Following up on its "Get a Jump on Black Friday" sale launched, U.S. electronics retail chain Best Buy on Thursday added Apple's latest iPad Air 2 to the list with deep $100 discounts on all models, putting the starting price at only $399.99 for a 16GB Wi-Fi only version.

After being teased on Wednesday, Best Buy's Black Friday iPad Air 2 sale is now live, as can be seen in our iPad Price Guides, with 16GB Wi-Fi models in all three colors going for $399.99, while the same capacity with cellular LTE starts at $529.99.

While Best Buy plans to keep its sale running throughout the day, stock is not guaranteed, especially at such low prices.

Update 7am: Best Buy's stock of WiFi models is already beginning to sell out, and those in stock are not guaranteed to deliver until Dec 10th unless you pay another $16-$30 for expedited shipping. Couple that with roughly $30+ tax collected on each sale and your net price may be higher than purchasing from some alternative resellers, like MacMall, which is selling the same models for $40 off with free shipping and no tax collected on orders shipped outside (CA, CO, GA, IL, MN, NC, NY, TN, and WI).

Wi-Fi versions of Apple's iPad Air 2 are priced as follows:

Versions supporting LTE are also on sale at $100 off retail:

As mentioned earlier today, Best Buy is also lopping $75 off all iPad mini 3 models and up to $200 off iPad mini 2.

Best Buy's Black Friday doorbuster sale runs all day online, while customers can visit brick-and-mortar outlets on Thursday starting 5 p.m. until 1 a.m. on Friday, local time. Stores will again reopen at 8 a.m. for continued Black Friday sales.
