    I love the ipad mini, its packed with great software in a small machine, fits in my bag, great to grab and go. One thing i always disliked about ipads was how big they were but this is the perfect size. Also got some paperlike screen protectors and an apple pen dupe off amazon and they have been great accessories for this :)

    Excellent performance, though as I hones get bigger, the use of a device this size has diminished quite a bit. We bought for our elementary school aged children, but ended up moving to the 10th gen iPad for a larger screen.

    The iPad arrived as described with a few exceptions. The power brick was missing, and it came with a generic USB-C cord. The iPad itself was in flawless condition.

    Great Value But Rethink Refurb Sticker Placement

    iPad Mini? Fantastic! How did Best Buy handle and package it? That was not great this time. This was a gift. It arrived in hastily wrapped bubble paper that was coming off. The evil part was they stuck a refurb sticker directly on the back of the iPad, and I had to use quite a bit of Goo Gone and Windex to get the sticker off! I was always desperate not to damage the back and ruin or diminish my daughter's delight in the gift. What were they thinking?!?! This was no Post-it note. It was hard glued to the back. All is well that ends well, and it's working wonderfully for her. She's pleased with it.

    The iPad surprised me by the others as I thought was gonna be worse, but actually for a small tablet compared to the others was actually great as more portable when going out and more comfortable to use as it still has a good storage and graphics rate compared to the other iPads out there and I would say it’s a great beginner tablet or iPad to start with.

    I traded in my iPad Air for this because I haven’t used my air in a long time. I’ve used the mini every single day since I’ve gotten it. It’s so much more convenient to use!! The process of trading in through Best Buy was super easy and I’m pleased with the quality of the refurbished mini!

    Purchased a geek squad refurb iPad. It was wrapped tight. I came with a usb cord but not the plug so that was weird. Upon arrival, I was looking at the best buy site and noticed the same item was $50 bucks less. Because there’s a fee on electronics, it was pointless to return. Just because you’re getting the best deal.

    This came in a new box with the charger and was very clean. Save a few bucks and get a geek squad certified refurbished item. Its performance has been great and apples parental settings are very easy and effective. I can make sure my child can not just download anything she wants. Face id is required by me for any downloads or purchases made by my child.
