Whether you're in school, at work, or just trying to get through the day, there’s a lot of reasons you might need to hop on a computer and get something done. If you're on the go, that either means lugging around your laptop or draining your phone battery. Instead, go down the middle with a tiny tablet that has a lot to offer. This 4th-generation refurbished iPad mini is lightweight, super versatile, and 55% off.
A bite-sized tablet at a bite-sized price
Wondering why the price is so low? This iPad has a grade "B" refurbished rating. That means it might have some light scratches or scuffs on the body and bevel, but it's nothing that will affect how the tablet works. It even comes with a black snap-on case that covers any cosmetic blemishes right up.
This iPad mini was originally manufactured in 2015, and the hardware reflects that. Still, there's a lot to love, including the battery that can last up to 10 hours on a single charge. You also have 128GB local storage, 2GB RAM, and an 8MP iSight rear-facing camera. The benefit of getting an older iPad is that this one also still has its 3.5mm headphone jack, but you can also connect via Bluetooth if you want to.
Where this iPad shows its age is in the processor. The A8 chip might struggle to run demanding games or multitask with graphically intense apps. This iPad might best be suited to people who want a super portable way to run productivity apps, stream, browse, and take notes. A student could use it as a lightweight replacement for a laptop in class, whereas a professional could get a lot of mileage using it as a presentation and meeting tool.
