TL;DR: As of September 12, you can get a refurbished Apple iPad mini 4 and accessories bundle for $289.99 instead of $599 — that's a savings of 51%.
A laptop is definitely portable, but sometimes it's just much bigger than you need. And while those full-size tablets are smaller, they take up too much room in your bag to be as conveniently portable as we need them to be. The iPad mini 4 is an excellent in-between option with a thin, lightweight mini design that suits the grab-and-go daily grind. And this refurbished 2015 model has an added bonus of being on sale for just $289.99 (reg. $599).
Buying refurbished is a win-win. They create less e-waste by repurposing electronics so they don't wind up in landfills — and you, the consumer, get a cleaned-up, affordable machine that's been tested to work well. This iPad mini 4 has a grade "B" refurbished rating, which just means there might be some light cosmetic wear on the bevel.
Featuring user-friendly specs, this iPad mini 4 has 64GB of integrated storage, giving you the space to save important pictures, docs, videos, and games. It also has WiFi and Bluetooth 4.2 capabilities.
You'll also get iOS 9 pre-installed along with a fast 1.5GHz Apple A8 processor. The 7.9-inch 2048 x 1536 resolution screen displays your videos, emails, browser, and more with clarity, while the MultiTouch feature allows you to navigate with the touch of a finger.
And if you like to snap pictures of your family, friends, pets, and adventures in general, you'll find the 8MP iSight camera can assist you in capturing amazing photos and videos. Plus, the 1.2MP front FaceTime HD camera is available to keep in touch at work or home.
