2021 Apple 11-inch iPad Pro (Wi-Fi, 256GB) - Space Gray (Renewed)

I chose a refurbished unit that was rated "excellent". It completely lived up to the description. It is indistinguishable from new. It looks and works like brand new.The seller guarantees that battery health is 80% or higher. My unit has 93% battery health - which I consider excellent for a model that came out 3 years ago.I haven't tried the charger or cable, because I already have so many around the house. But they look new, and look like the ones Apple includes with the iPads it sells.The unit was packed well, though it doesn't come in its own box. The iPad, charger, and cable were each wrapped securely in bubble wrap. All three items arrived completely undamaged.The seller provides a 90-day return period. I figure, if something is seriously wrong, I will know it in less than 90 days. So far, the unit is working perfectly.I chose the 2021 M1 iPad Pro over the 2022 M2 iPad Pro because reviewers said the M2 version was only marginally better than the M1 version. The M1 is already more power than me and many other ipad users will ever need.I ruled out getting the M4 iPad Pro. It's extremely expensive, and I don't run the kinds of apps that can really take advantage of the powerful M4 chip. Plus, I would have to get new accessories, because the Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil 2 I already own don't work with the M4 iPad Pros.I strongly recommend buying a refurbished iPad Pro from this seller, and if you can afford it, pay a few extra dollars for one described as "excellent" or at least "very good."

I purchased a refurbished iPad in "Excellent" condition from Techdeals4Less. While the body was in good shape with only a minor stain on the back, the battery had 90% health and 276 cycles—more than I’d expect for an "Excellent" rating. I requested a return, and the process was smooth. Since the seller's location wasn’t far, shipping took only one day. A full refund was issued within a day or two after I sent the package, and the money was back on my credit card just a few business days later.

Basically was brand new when I bought and received it. Aside from some very very minor blemishes (back of the iPad, there are like 2 tiny dents and a scratch) this thing does what I need it to do, and does it well. I bought this back in 2023 and I’ve been in love with it since. One of my best purchases to date. I chose this even over the newer M2/M3 models at the time because there’s really no need to put money towards that when this model does exactly that lmao.There is an occasional area on the iPad where the Apple Pencil will not respond while taking notes, somewhere near the top/middle right, or sometimes where the pencil won’t respond at all for a few seconds while taking notes at all (THIS IS MAINLY WHILE USING GOODNOTES, maybe it has something to do with the constant need of switching colors/tools and the menu bar being in that same area) but it goes away quickly or doesn’t bother me enough to where it’s considered defective.It’s fast, responsive, has great storage (I got the 128gb version, still haven’t even used all of it) and was super easy to set up and start using. Very lightweight (without the case) and the touch screen works as expected, minus that issue with the Apple Pencil. Mind you, that only happens with the pencil itself. No issues with finger to screen.

This iPad is a great device for professionals. I do a lot of photo and video editing, so I immediately installed Photoshop and DaVinci Resolve and Procreate on it. The M1 processor is an absolute beast! It’s pretty difficult to make a 120Hz screen on a mobile device look smooth all the time, but there’s so much processing power in this iPad that it handles it perfectly. The screen is phenomenal and the speakers are amazing too. It’s thin and light. It’s pretty much the iPad Pro to get in 2023, especially at this price.My unit came in perfect condition - apart from two pretty deep scratches in the screen on the top right corner. Luckily, they’re out of the way and don’t affect usability, and didn’t interfere with installing a screen protector. Otherwise, the iPad is in like-new condition. Original box, charger, and cable. The shipping took forever, but that’s a fault of USPS leaving the package on their truck and going to a whole different state. (Seriously, it was in the right city, but it had to leave the state to go to some other random place for some reason?) Some reviews mentioned getting the incorrect model, so when I unboxed it I immediately looked up the model number and confirmed I had been sent the correct one.The battery life isn’t particularly impressive to me, though I don’t know if that’s a fault of the refurbisher or that it just didn’t have insane battery life in the first place.Overall very pleased with this purchase. Highly recommend getting refurbished iPads.
