Have you checked your pants?

The OP is a long time member, why would he post a fake deal?

Way to double post. Idiot you say???

Christ that's almost a reasonable price for the spec.

Apple fans therefore won't be interested.

Really, not noticed any difference.

Slough are seriously lucky to have got this deal and David Brent.

​glad at least some people managed to get deal

Nothing in Aylesbury extra today

I was the first guy to be at the electricals desk at Slough store, my intention was to purchase 2, one for me and the other for my sister, but I then realised all the other people behind (5 - 6 people) me also were after this. They were all closely and anxiously huddled behind me waiting for the price to be scanned. One guy from behind 4th in queue spoke to me and said "excuse me is this the deal from HUKD, their £265" I think he wanted everyone to know he wanted one too so they all don't get too greedy. Because I'm a nice guy, I just bought 1 in the end so everyone else can get one too, but to be honest I'm so happy and very grateful to the OP. I feel bad for the people in the queue who missed out, should have been restricted to 1 per customer.

To those who are flaming the OP I can confirm that this is/was a 100% genuine deal. I, too, thought this would be a wild goose chase which is why I sent my husband out to Tesco Extra Slough this morning. He got there for 9am and went straight to the Electricals counter. There were two guys in front of him who each bough one and then my husband got the last two, the only colour they had left was rose gold. They're both sealed boxes - 32gb wifi model for £265. Happy to post the receipt if someone can tell me how. PS the other one was for my dad (we did not buy these to sell on).

Found a couple of stores with stock, all £379 :disappointed:

​Member of staff said it was £259, she scanned it, it came up as £379 :disappointed:

Not yet but looks like you've saved me the journey..

Hold up!
I think I'm getting lucky! :smile::smile::smile:

Yes I went there and no stock! Did you go there as well?

If you call the tesco 0800 customer services number they will tell you your nearest store with stock still but be sure to ask for the 16gb model at 249 not the 32gb Base model at 379!

​ :confused: jealous

Right guys, anyone after this needs to ask for the iPad Air 2 16GB model - it is discontinued so most stores may not have them but good luck to you that try, I managed to get one myself in Birmingham about half hour ago now

Did anyone else have any luck at the same Slough store?

Here we go again!

I guess it just shows how gullible HUKD users can be if 1414 voted this deal hot, without thinking about whether it was likely to be genuine or not?

Does he get to keep the heat now he's expired it?

Expired- now there's a surprise!

Might even be a hyperbole. lol

It's an idiom...

£379 in both of the Superstores I tried this morning. COLD COLD COLD

​why would somebody travel 45 mins to get deal 3p's worth.

Deal is a troll. Gone to 2 stores now, both have an abundance of stock and both scanning through at £379.

I second that OP should be awarded this Heat?

If your gonna troll, make it believable, this is just pathetic rofl.

None in Ashby. Can heat be revoked?

Full price at Tesco Hamilton in Leicester. Deal is a no go at this store

Loads at Mine

Bought 10 for eBay

Went to Huntingdon Tesco, they don' even sell them apparently, gotta order them especially. I swear ive seen this displayed there before. Ah well.

So exactly how many have got this "deal" that's worth 1438 degrees?

scanning at full price in Scotland :-(

Anyone else tried to get one today

I have just tried Tesco Basildon and it is £379

No Stock in Tesco Streatham Extra

From past experience of one off deals like this I would say put your feet up with a nice cup of tea. The last time something was confirmed on here as "definitely nationwide" I went the 45 minute drive over to my nearest mammoth Tesco to discover that no, it certainly was NOT nationwide. Not worth a gamble....is my 3p's worth.

Still showing 379 (Boxing Day) on link - wonder if it's a waste of time going to my local extra to have a look?

They have the same quality components, same level of support, same resale price in percentage terms as an ipad I take it, what is this magical make you are talking about?

Voted hot

Talking hardware. Hardware used in phones and tablets is about the same kind.

So I've seen a phone for sale for £85 it has snapdragon 801 soc, 2 ram 32storage.

I've seen a phone for £138 that has 4 ram 64 storage Snapdragon 820soc (about the best thing currently)

You bought tablets with 16 storage (probably 10 accessible to user) for £250 each and thought its a good deal? To what? To falling face down in a dog mess?

And yet more than enough to store all the top quality deals you have posted in your 4 years of leeching from the site!

Actually I don't post or vote on Android kit as I have no view. unlike yourself,I'm not stupid enough to vote and troll thinking anyone cares.

Are we talking Apple Tea?

So you're comparing a notebook hybrid to a dedicated tablet, might as well compare the price of tea in China.

Cold not a hudl 2

Why's this got so much heat when few other than the OP have been lucky enough to bag one?

Well they will be behing the Apple fanboys like you who do the same thing you think is bad.

Christ that's almost a reasonable price for the spec.

Apple fans therefore won't be interested.

Way to double post. Idiot you say???

for idiots

for idiots

At the end of the day Android fan boys will troll this thread. If you can find the deal at a better price brilliant, if you can't then your knowledge of the "openness" off the android OS is irrelevant as I doubt your going to sway anyone's view with your petty garbled comments.

I'll swing by my local Tesco when passing tomorrow but not holding my breath

They still have a dedicated iPad area in our local Tesco. Might be regional of course, but the iPad is still the best selling tablet by a large margin so doubt they'd stop selling it.

you can argue against apple on price, memory, and expandability but you can't beat apple for usability

IMO 8 years or so puts the OP in the 'long time member' category.

you must be joking... realistically the usability of the ipad is the highest of any tablet / laptop platform. I'm a fan of windows PCs and laptops, my primary work device is a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon laptop, but i'm sorry - windows makes ZERO sense on a tablet or even hybrid tablet device.

Whenever I see people on the train to work struggling with full blown Outlook on various windows touchscreens I always think, if you just had an actual tablet, they would have sent their email by now. It's not even a comparison worth taking seriously - the iPad is an infinitely more usable device than the Yoga.

As for the CPU point, a) that would be totally irrelevant as it's the end performance that matters, and mobile Operating Systems have much lower overheads b) it is not true anyway, the Intel N3700 CPU in a similar priced Lenovo Yoga has a multi-core geekbench score of 2,570, the Apple A8X in the Air 2 has a multi-core geekbench score of 4,552.

I use an Android phone for home, iPhone for work and other than build quality the Android shats all over the iPhone for pretty much everything.

Equally my wife has an iPad and I have a Galaxy Tab S2 at home and the Galaxy destroys the iPad on pretty much everything apart from maybe speakers (which are poor on the S2) and the fact I can get FTL on the iPad. If your S2 runs slow by comparison I'd suggest there is something causing it.

Apple stuff is terribly overpriced for what it is, and having used both Apple and Android side by side for phone and tablets for well over a year I'm still amazed what Apple gets away with charging.

Android users always get so salty hahaha

There are more Android devices sold than Apple, so can you justify your comment with facts?
Even iphone sales are down.

Oh shut up you div.

Yup. **** has it slowed down. Try reinstalling the OS or something because the iPad Air 2 feels just as fast as my Pro.

Like how people have stuff to say about Apple without trying one. I have Ipad air 2 and Also Galaxy Tab S2 which are roughly same price point. There is only 2 good things about S2 - Amoled screen, which is great and it is tad bit slimmer so good to hold. And that is roughly it. Thing is slow and unresponsive comparing to Ipad. All of us at home prefer Ipad - 90% of the time it is Galaxy that got picked up last.
There might be better Android tablets there but Ipad is still no. 1 choice for tablets IMHO.
And before calling me Apple fanboy I do use Android only as my mobile phone choice.

32GB? What a joke. Lenovo yoga 100 times more usability and 128GB and a better CPU.

And you'd buy an ipad at full price 2 days before potential sales, why now? :s

'The OP is a long time member'.... 19 posts? (I agree the deal is legit as he/she posted the receipt but it's just that term you used)

Bought two 16gigs £249 each on Friday, and I thought that was a good deal I know the 32gig scanned at 379 as that's what they brought me out first. Store was hattersley and they have two sliver ones left as of Friday at 1.30pm and a ticket saying price reduced from £379 to £249

I find it very laggy I had the Nexus 10 before that and it was a great tablet much better than the 9, don't think my other half would appreciate it if I took it back from her. I was hoping the nougat version of android would sort it out but it hasn't.
When I browse on the XDA forum a lot of people complain about it being laggy as well

That 30p is a deal breaker

False

If a nexus 9 isn't impressive, I can't imagine what an Ipad can do that'd make it more impressive.

I've always had android tablets but I've not been that impressed with the Nexus 9 that I've got, would like to get the pixel c if it comes down to this price level but I have been thinking of getting one of these. If my local tesco has them at this price I think I will go for it

​definitely not returned items as the item is fully sealed and at least 4 more people bought after the sales person told me that price is £265

I phoned every tesco in my area after the last ipad air came up on here a couple of months ago. I was told by everyone that they are no longer going to be selling apple stuff. it's probably one they found In the back or something. My mate in Manchester rang most of the stores round there and they said the same thing.

Either Tesco made an error on the sale price or it's a returned item, as there's no logic in them selling iPad's so cheap. As the OP must know the real story behind why they got it at a bargain price so why not divulge it, as I doubt they just got lucky at the till?

Any suggestions how to find which stores have this?

Mandatory post.

Android users and ex Apple users who have seen the light.

I think this could be a ruse to be honest. Like many of the localised deals on this site.

I'll believe it when I see it with my own eyes.

Is this national?

Who is buying android these days? It is all about Apple.

You could get a lovely Android tab for this amount.

Outdated tech, base model in terms of storage and online access. Sounds about the right price.

Though it is apple, so *shrugs*

Outstanding response.

I'm with the op
Xx

probably old Apple iPad Air been sold as Apple iPad Air2, as members of staff don't know the difference as it's now seems to me one customer service desk and no one know anything on it in my local store.

I have an Air 2 (purchased a few days ago). It's not slow by any stretch of the imagination.

Sounds more like an issue specific to you..my air 2 is as speedy as ever.

Great. I bought one at full price YESTERDAY. Begrudging heat, I suppose.

Click on the offer, then once on you're on the page, click on the image.

On Christmas Day?, not likely .... (when all the major 'players' today are like sleeping?). :-)

anyone else found this? cheers

That's the one, cheers.
TPN is 082245271

Honestly don't bother, air 2 has really slowed down since iOS 10.

​Not sure what's an EAN but the barcode on iPad and receipt shows 0190198160911.

Who cares about mark up? The day I can start my own incredibly successful electronics hardware company I might begrudge them a big profit. This is a good price for what you're getting though in my opinion. Generally if profits are high because the price is high but the resale is high then I don't mind paying a premium.

EAN plus barcode symbology so we can recreate locally please.

Can we have an EAN please? :smiley:

This particular SKU of iPad Air 2 has only been out about three months so this is an unexpectedly good price. You could only get 16, 64 and 128 originally.

what is product code?

Not quite?.

I have HUKD App too.

All I get whenever I click on Poster's picture, is instant 'referral' to relevant Deal link's and the like?, and never to the actual 'Image' itself ...

So, I don't get it either?, lol.

If you use the HUKD app, you can click on the image .

Receipt clearly shows the deal as stated (or £265.30 if being picky!). Thanks for posting.

Amazing price. Voted hot.

Heat

Darn got a mini 4 64gb from Staples for £279, kinda hope this was a store specific....

I bought iPad mini 2 from Tesco direct at £189 on Black Friday, love it but still use my android for ease of file handling,Showbox films,extra storage in micro sd etc. Seems good price for an air.heated.

Can even make out receipt from pic.

I am not able to find option to upload images to post the receipt...can someone help me with this? I am only getting option to link or URLs

Remember whenever shops are shut for the day we get these suspiciously cheap deals. I'd call fake here to be honest.

Ooh could really do with this, Amazon let me down for a present.

I smell **** :man:

Wasn't this £235 anyway?

Great price if true. suppose need to wait to see a receipt

Tesco slough Wellington extra

Thanks op - what store was this?

Thanks op, I will have a search on Boxing Day. Have a great Xmas.

Already posted

I am not able to post the receipt through mobile app...will do it from home
