Apple on Wednesday updated the 14-inch MacBook Pro base model with an M5 chip, and there are two key storage-related upgrades beyond that chip bump.
First, Apple says the new 14-inch MacBook Pro offers up to 2× faster SSD performance than the equivalent previous-generation model, so read and write speeds should get a significant boost. Apple says it is using "the latest storage technology," ...

That awesome $100 iPad Air gift card offer from Target is for the Doorbuster special. No rain checks, quantities limited. I read that as "good luck getting one".
The target gift card of $75 with the purchase of any iPad mini, seems kinda vague and not specific to model. Might get away with that.
"Any iPad mini" refers to any configuration of the old model. If Target truly meant "any" iPad mini, they would've specified the retina version in the box below BUT THERE IS NOTHING. AND seeing how the iPad mini retina wasn't released NOR had a release date during the time these ads were created and printed, I can guarantee you there will be no sales on the iPad mini retina. In fact, they probably won't even be in stock during Thanksgiving.
