The air has a better processor, but the pro has their 120Hz refresh rate screen which is a huuuuge difference in daily usage (it's also brighter). The iPad processors are already so fast it's not really a big deal to go back a generation or two on those unless you're hardcore gaming or really need the speed.
The air has some advantages (processor, wifi, bluetooth, etc), but it really comes down to your expected usage.

I would be more concerned with the possibility of an expanding battery vs fixing the spot with suction cups...jase wrote: ↑ I ended up getting this deal. Thanks OP.
Here's a link to MacRumors comparing the iPad Pro 2017 (this deal) vs iPad Air 2019:
https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/20 ... o.2173777/
Summary from that article:
The new iPad Air starts at $150 less than the 10.5-inch iPad Pro and thus has some tradeoffs: two speakers versus four, no ProMotion display, and a lower-end 8-megapixel rear camera with no LED flash or optical image stabilization.
The new iPad Air has the same dimensions, thinness, and overall appearance as 10.5-inch iPad Pro.
Both iPads have a 10.5-inch Retina display with 264 PPI, headphone jack, Touch ID, Lightning connector, 7-megapixel front camera, up to 10 hours of battery life, and 802.11ac Wi-Fi.
The new iPad Air has some advantages: faster A12 Bionic chip vs. A10X Fusion, Gigabit-class LTE vs. LTE Advanced, and Bluetooth 5.0 vs 4.2.The new iPad Air can be ordered starting today with in-store availability beginning next week in the United States and many other regions.
I think basically with the Pro, you're paying for a better display (120 Hz vs 60 Hz refresh) and better speakers, better graphics performance, and camera. With the Air, you're getting better Bluetooth, A12 processor (11000 Geekbench I think vs 9000 on A10X in the Pro).
And someone apparently found a DIY fix for the white spot problems too:

I, too, have fallen prey to this deal. 512gb that i'm never going to need....
Although I really wanted one in Space Grey... I had to settle for Silver. Not a fan of the white bezel.
Was anyone actually able to get the Space Grey one? or was it sold out from the get go?

I must have sniped the last silver... It went OOS right after my order!
Although i'm still on the fence about this one.... the deal is amazing but the colour may be a deal breaker for me!

Unless you are apple user specifically.. At this price.. Why wouldn't you go for Samsung tab 6 instead? It makes it at the same price range...

Android tablets are effectively dead. iPads have cornered the tablet market.

I just bought the 512 model in gold! Not my colour of preference, but it will have to do. Really wanted the 11" Pro, but the price is way too crazy at the moment.
Thanks OP.

Well I wouldn't say the cause of Android tablets being dead is because the tablet is unpopular.
The problem is phones keep getting larger and tablets is such a niche market now...

I saw this last night through a Google price alert but decided to wait. I don’t really need it but I guess I should of bought it then and thought about it after.

Technically yes, in terms of CPU performance the A12 is better. In terms of graphical performance, the A10X is still much better. As an overall package, feature and performance wise, the Pro is still superior.
Also to the person asking earlier. I got a Space Gray 512GB. I ordered it just before creating the thread.
