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.
