Apple - Geek Squad Certified Refurbished 7.9-Inch iPad mini (5th Generation) with Wi-Fi - 256GB - Space Gray

Purchased this to replace a 64GB iPad mini to increase my storage.

I like to buy used devices and give them “second life”. This tablet is for a reasonable price, one need to think about duration for using such a device, this tablet had just a little scratch on screen, but what bothered me a lot was battery, which did not last long and practically I had to plug it every evening to charger, even I just it just for a couple of hours in evening to watch youtube/reading books and so on. In other words if you need a tablet for year or two, i would say go for it, if you thing to buy something a bit more long lasting, i would suggest buy a new one, or get a battery replaced (which is additional cost). I end up returning this tablet due to lack of tine to you it. Nothing technical except battery problem. Thanks. Cheers

I was a bit disappointed with Best Buy because they originally sent the wrong product (64GB instead of 256GB). It meant we had to deal with customer service and order a replacement in the store, which took awhile. Then we had to wait another week for it to arrive. The iPad itself works well, and we can’t even tell it was refurbished. No scratches or issues with the way it runs. One more note: the charging cord/adapter are very chunky (not the ones that would have come with an original iPad), but that doesn’t bother us.

Saved a little money up front. It worked for a little more than a year. After that it wouldn’t stay on unless it was plugged in. Finally the LCD screen died. Since it was refurbed it didn’t have coverage under the Best Buy Tech plan. I’m going to think twice before buying any refurbished items going forward

For refurbished it is in really good condition but the fingerprint sensor does not work on the iPad mini I received, I’m not too concerned with that as you can still lock and lock it. I say it was worth the price for being a used product
