Best refurbished iPad deals: Get an iPad with warranty for $109

Apple makes some of the best tablets on the market, and if you’re creative, then you’ve likely worked or own an iPad, with some of the best iPads being a staple of creative folks. Of course, being the best does mean that you have to pay a premium price, and while you could grab one of these iPad deals, they’ll still be quite expensive. That’s where these refurbished iPads come into play since they tend to be significantly cheaper and, most of the time, just have cosmetic issues rather than anything that has to do with the tablet. Not only that, but going for a refurbished iPad is better for the environment since it helps reduce e-waste, and this is one of the reasons we’ve gone out and collected some of our favorite refurbished iPad deals below.

You can also check out these great Apple deals for some more great options, especially if you want to grab other gear in the Apple ecosystem.

When this iPad model came out in 2018 it was hard to imagine it ever being available for just $119. It has a 9.7-inch Retina display that makes it good for browsing the web and watching movies. It only comes with 32GB of storage space, but this isn’t an iPad for loading up with modern apps and media anyhow. It would be a good starter iPad for the kids, or a good way to take the internet with you when you travel. This iPad deal includes a 1-year warranty and free 30-day returns.

Apple iPad Mini (2015) — from $78

This is an especially good iPad to consider if you’re looking for ultimate portability. It has a smaller footprint than other iPad models, yet still has a good amount of storage space with a 128GB hard drive. This iPad deal includes a 1-year warranty and free 30-day returns.

It comes with plenty of storage space if you’d like to load it up with some apps and games, coming in at 128GB. 2019 may seem like a while back, but as the entry level model iPad goes, this one holds up pretty well as long as the redesign of the Apple iPad 2022 doesn’t interest you. This iPad deal includes a 1-year warranty and free 30-day returns.

If you’re looking for an iPad with some size to it, the 12.9-inch model of the Apple iPad Pro 2018 should be a consideration.

While early Memorial Day tablet deals cover a lot of ground, if you're interest in Galaxy Tab products, these are the best Memorial Day sales that we're seeing at this time. Many of these deals come straight from the pages of the best Samsung tablets, in case you want to make a comparison shop. Note that the S9 FE is less costly that the S8's in the list, as it is a paired down machine in terms of power. Of all of the Galaxy Tab products available in the early Memorial Day deals that we've uncovered so far, the most powerful is the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra, which is a fantastic screen but a bit expensive to buy at regular price. In other words, now is the time to grab it if you ever will. Also, while this isn't true for all of the models listed below, if you aren't happy with the initial configuration of the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra (maybe you want more RAM or storage) you can feel free to poke around the options quite a bit. Most of the other configurations are, at least at this time ahead of Memorial Day, on sale too.
