With the Apple fanboys gearing up to queue up in front of Apple Stores on March 16 to grab the ” the new iPad“, serious buyers have something different to rejoice. With Apple deciding to continue selling the iPad 2 alongside “the new iPad”, it has reduced prices across all variants.
Even after the launch of ‘the new iPad” , iPad 2 is still a very capable tablet. It runs all business apps with ease and is perfect for Mails and web-browsing. Even for the entertainment junkies, iPad 2 has enough power under its hood to play the latest games and graphic-intensive apps as well. So you wont get the Retina Display and the 5 MP i-sight camera, but honestly not many tablet user need these features. Even LTE connectivity is not available in all markets. Considering the above points iPad 2 makes quite a strong case for itself. And the recent price-reduction just makes the deal sweeter by a few grands.
The price -reduction and savings are given below. The maximum discount is being offered on the 16GB variant bringing it in the sub 25k category.
