Target offers a $40 Target gift card with the purchase of select Apple iPads. (Eligible items are marked; the gift card is added to your cart automatically.) With a starting price of $399.99, and assuming you'll use the gift card, that puts many iPads at the lowest total price we could find, and beats our January mention of a $30 gift card with the purchase of a similar selection of iPads. Shipping starts at $6.64. Some models are excluded, like the iPad mini.

A best bet is the Apple iPad with Retina Display 32GB WiFi Tablet in White (pictured), model no. MD514LL/A, or Black, model no. MD511LL/A, bundled with a $40 Target gift card for $599.99 plus $6.74 for shipping. Assuming you use the gift card, that's the lowest total price we could find by $3, although most retailers charge at least $595. It's 9.4mm thick, weighs 1.4 lbs., and features a 9.7" 2048x1536 Retina display, A6x dual-core processor with quad-core graphics, 5-megapixel iSight camera with 1080p video recording, front FaceTime camera, voice dictation, 802.11n wireless, Bluetooth 4.0, up to 10 hours of battery life, and iOS 6.
