The discounts range from $10 off the first-generation iPad Mini to $100 off the iPad 2, with all other models discounted as well. What’s more, [CNET’s Lance Whitney reports](http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035%5F3-57619947-94/best-buy-sale-trims-price-on-cellular-ipads/ "undefined") that a customer buying a cellular-enabled iPad in a Best Buy store apparently gets a $30 discount on the tablet itself and, if a data plan is activated in-store, another $100 is lopped off at checkout. The $35 activation fee is also waived, and people activating an AT&T or Verizon iPad get a $100 bill credit. Not too shabby if you’re willing to jump through a few hoops.

You’ll apparently have to go to a store for the bigger discounts, though.
