Customers enjoy the overall performance and condition of the Geek Squad Certified Refurbished 10.9-Inch iPad Air, noting that it works well and is in great shape. However, some customers experienced issues with the storage capacity, receiving a smaller storage size than ordered. Concerns were also raised regarding battery life and minor screen imperfections. The product's functionality is generally praised, but potential buyers should be aware of these inconsistencies.
I recently purchased a refurbished iPad Air (2022) from Best Buy, and overall, I'm quite satisfied with the device. It arrived in good condition, albeit without the original packaging. There are a few minor scratches on the display, but they aren't very noticeable once the screen is on. One downside is that the iPad's battery health is at 86%, which is lower than expected for a refurbished device. Additionally, it came with iPadOS 18 installed, which is known to have battery drain issues. After tweaking some settings, I managed to achieve a reasonable battery life for a day's use. I also purchased an Apple Pencil (2nd generation) to use with the iPad. While I'm still learning how to utilize it effectively, I tried drawing with it a couple of days ago and found the experience quite smooth. There's minimal delay, and the drawing feels natural, almost like using a pen on paper. However, I'm still getting the hang of pressure sensitivity to control line thickness. Overall, the iPad Air offers excellent performance and value, especially for creative tasks. Despite some minor issues, I'm happy with my purchase and would recommend it to others. Chat

Product came as described. There were no damages to the iPad. And it still currently works and functions fine, even after a month of ownership. Only downside is the charging head it came with wasn’t the correct type. They gave me a usb one when this iPad uses a usb-c. Another thing is the battery dies a little quickly. It’s not the worst but still inconvenient sometimes. That’s only to be expected from a refurbished item. I can’t check battery health though. Overall, this iPad was worth the amount I spent on it which was only about $400.

I love this iPad. I had an iPad Pro 12.9 and it was so heavy. This one is much lighter, amazing color, and does everything my old one did only faster. Perfect in every way!!
