You might have simple needs from a tablet. If you don’t need the features or speed of a brand-new iPad, you can get this refurbished 2013 iPad Air with 16GB of storage for $149.99 (reg. $499). The refurbished model comes with a grade “B” rating, which means it can come with some minor scuffs or scratches that don’t affect performance. (And it also comes with a black case that can cover cosmetic imperfections.)
Again, it’s from 2013, so its Apple A7 processor with 1GB of RAM won’t be enough to run heavy apps like Adobe Lightroom or Premiere Rush—but it’s fine if you’re looking for a large 9.7-inch screen for streaming, using it as a comic book e-reader, or keeping up with the news. You might want to use it just as a travel iPad for bringing along vacation without too much stress. The battery lasts for up to ten hours on a charge, and it comes with an 8MP iSight camera for taking video calls.
This refurbished 2013 iPad Air with 16GB is $149.99 (reg. $499) right now, though prices can change at any time.
