Apple iPad Pro 2nd 12.9in with Wi-Fi 2017 Model, 256GB, Grey (Renewed)

Okay I ordered from Tech Warehouse. I would say know what you are getting. When ordering refurbished I try to read the company reviews first. I don’t like ordering from companies with less than 1000 reviews and a score of lower than 80%. Tech Warehouse met those standards even if I paid more for the product.Now for the product itself. I ordered a second generation iPad. It is much older and slower than most of the other iPads you can buy, but I need a bigger screen. I run a RPG group and most of my players use tablets/phones to track characters on. My sister has to print her sheets to see them because of her vision. I let her use my iPad with the 10’ screen and she just wanted something bigger. I ordered this to help her and to get a bigger screen for reading sheet music on. This iPad does those two things wonderfully.Down side is it lags with non-document reading programs. I am not shocked. When this was new it was the powerhouse of the iPads maybe not in storage, but in speed. Like most devices technology improves and by comparison it slows down. I own two other iPads a Gen 6 iPad and a Gen 4 iPad. It runs the same as the generation 6 with more memory. It however is slow and has problems processing compared to my iPhone 13. That being said it is still a great machine. Just not the first draft pick if you need it for anything other than document reading and watching videos. It draws fine with procreate and it plays board game apps fine, but it is still old. Also note as of December 2023 it still updates to the latest operating system 17. Just note the first generation doesn’t update past 16, so the writing might be on the wall for this on for updates. That might limit what apps it will run in the future. My iPad 4 stopped updating at 10, so half of my apps don’t run on it. The problem with development and planned obsolescence I guess.If you are buying this for school and have the money for a generation, or two younger I would think about getting those instead for the speed and updates. If this is in your price range know it is refurbished, so like new, but not new. It will run everything you most likely need it for, but don’t be shocked if it lags in the middle of note taking, so get a good audio recording app for your phone.To end the review it is a 2nd generation iPad. It updates to IOS 17 and will run most apps. The processing speed is not great and will lag with some input, but if you give it a second it will do what you want. I have not had it crash an app yet, but will not be shocked if it does. For running characters sheet apps and taking notes at an rpg table it does everything it needs to for me. I like the screen and the way it looks compared to my regular iPad gen 6. If I ever get the cash then I would definitely buy a 12.9 pro iPad new, but for now this second generation version does everything I want it to do.

Bought as a gift for my brother who has been blessed with large fingers. He loves it! In great shape, no issues thus far.

This iPad is every bit as good as a new one, just be aware that not all apps will update forever, especially on an older model, but if that doesn't matter to you, this is a great deal!

The reason I returned it is it’s 2016 first version and it was not good enough for me otherwise the service was very good very responsive people thank you sorry I have to return it.

So far, so good.

Condition is fantastic and at a great price

The media could not be loaded. The product that I recived was inspected by Prime Mobility.I was desperately needing an ipad for work, because I was having a hard time turning sheet music pages during recording sessions without making any sound. So, i had to get an ipad for this purpose.I was expecting a really scratched up ipad and disfunctional touch screen and short batrery life, but no... this renewed model was like new! Whomever the previous owner was took a really REALLY good care of it. Zero scratch on the back, barely any mark on the edges (maybe a tiny few "dots" and "lines" from dust). One corner has a ding but it was not noticeable at all, I actually had to purposely find flaws to see it... I would probably make that same ding sometime down the line.The charger is not included. When i received the ipad, it was at about 49%. It lasted pretty long. I charged it again with my Samsung charger and it was super slow. I think the wattage might not be right so will need to find appropriate charger later.Overall, I am super happy with the quality and the conditon of the ipad. Thank you Prime Mobility!Check out my unboxing video to see the product. And the app that I use for page turning is "fourscore". $14.99. Totally worth it.
