Apple products usually get discounted on Amazon pretty early, and some of those devices tend to stay that way for a long time. On this occasion, the iPad 9 and M3 Pro MacBook Pro offer savings of up to $280 if you get them simultaneously, and the discount availed is actually more than the price of Apple’s affordable tablet. First, let us talk about the slate currently going for just $249 for the Wi-Fi-only variant with 64GB onboard storage after an $80 discount. If you are entering Apple’s product ecosystem for the first time, the iPad 9 in Space Gray can be your daily for a boatload of tasks, keeping up with those pricey Windows notebooks.
It is powered by the A13 Bionic, the same SoC that was featured in the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max, along with 3GB RAM and a large 10.2-inch Retina display that gives off a 2160 x 1620 resolution. It also sports an 8,557mAh battery, which Apple states can last up to 12 hours on a single charge. Also, new productivity features added to iPadOS mean that you can use a wireless keyboard and mouse combo to turn your iPad 9 into a capable laptop alternative, and with that incredible runtime, you will surely have a positive experience.
As for the M3 Pro MacBook Pro, it is Apple’s smaller 14.2-inch model, but do not let its size fool you because it is every bit as capable as the 16-inch version, assuming the latter came running with the same chipset. The portable Mac is going for $1,799 on Amazon after a $200 discount, and with that package, you get an 11-core CPU, a 14-core GPU, 18GB of unified RAM, and a 512GB NVMe SSD, all tucked in a beautiful Space Black chassis. The 14-inch mini-LED gives off rich and vibrant colors and supports up to a 120Hz refresh rate thanks to Apple’s ProMotion technology.
As for the battery life, Apple states that the M3 Pro MacBook Pro can last for up to 18 hours on a single run, making it one of the best portable machines you can purchase if your utmost priority is that long endurance. Perhaps the only gripe you will find is that you cannot upgrade any component on the iPad 9 and M3 Pro MacBook Pro, so you have to make do with what you will get. Still, a combined discount of $280 sounds like a terrific deal if you ask us.
