Excellent deal thank you best buy, bought refurbished for a great deal. Had to keep refreshing the page for a chance at it but it was worth it.

I purchased a refurbished iPad Air from Best Buy, which arrived with a MacBook charger instead of a proper iPad adapter. Soon after, I experienced battery issues, very slow charging and unexpected shutdowns. Unfortunately, Best Buy did not offer a replacement. They accepted the return and refunded me but directed me to Apple for a $200 battery replacement, without addressing the adapter issue that may have caused the damage. I expected better support and transparency.

Runs hot amd it drains battery so im guessing this is the original battery snd its pretty worn. Estimating it needs to be replaced which is 120 amd thst makes this a not so good deal. The other parts are fine but the baterry is bad tje scrren is fine snd its looks good with no scratches but you camt sell someone something with a bad baytery smd call it refurbished.

When you purchase an iPad, especially at a premium price, you expect the full experience—sleek packaging, the original box, and at the very least, the official Apple charger. Unfortunately, this was not the case here.
The iPad arrived in generic, lackluster packaging that stripped away any excitement of the unboxing experience. No Apple branding, no elegant presentation—just a plain, dull box. To make matters worse, the included charger wasn’t even an original Apple product, which raises concerns about compatibility and longevity.
While the iPad itself works as expected, the presentation and accessories are a far cry from what you’d expect from Apple’s renowned standards. For a brand synonymous with premium quality, this was a letdown. If you’re buying an iPad, make sure to double-check what’s included to avoid this disappointment.

Came with some scuffs on the corners of the screen, and sticker residue on the back. So much for Geek Squad Certified Refurbished, looks like this one was missed. Had to take the time to return it and buy an open box one where I could actually inspect it.
They did not follow their Geek Squad Certified guidelines! Here's what they promised. "Geek Squad Certified refurbished items are returned items that are tested for functionality, updated, and factory restored. They are also inspected, repaired, and tested by hand, and minor surface scratches and blemishes are repaired or minimized. "

Received iPad without any blemishes and started up without a hitch. For that reason, this was a great buy since it was on sale as well. We like the larger screen (compared to older models) and squared edges.

Barcode label stickers all over and was not easy to remove. Came with a lightning charging cable that doesn’t even work with this product. Display has small cracks
