2020 Apple iPad Pro (12.9-inch, Wi-Fi, 128GB) - Space Gray (Renewed)

I bought this almost 2 years ago for college classes. I use it every single day to take notes and practice homework. It is possibly the best purchase I have ever bought myself. It is great quality. I was a little unsure of the size. I thought it was smaller, but it’s like a laptop size, but it is perfect for school. I also really like how their are a multitude of things that I can use this for I love reading on it watching movies playing games doing homework coloring and I love the split screen so I can have two tabs open at once and that helps so much with school

Got mines refurbished: Excellent. And let me tell you, I love it. I think the bad reviews are coming from different sellers, so it depends. But I’d say it’s worth the gamble. I’ve brought refurbished items before and they’re as advertised 90 percent of the time. Mines look brand new, almost nothing wrong with it. One of the cameras is a little blurry but nothing a little wiping can’t fix. The camera itself isn’t broken or anything, and honestly, it’s expected since it’s refurbished. But the zoom camera works just fine and it’s as crisp as it should be. Can’t complain. It’s able to charge just fine too, there’s visibly no scratches or marks and it’s easy to set up. Maybe I just got lucky but again, I’d say it’s worth your buck. I’ll update or leave another review if anything changes, and maybe add some pictures too.

First and foremost, this is a refurbished ipad reseller. So there will be obvious differences from purchasing one from here vs Apple store itself. And overall, reviews will SOLELY DEPEND ON WHICHEVER UNIT GETS SHIPPED TO YOU (luck of the draw)I purchased one here in Excellent Condition. I just received it yesterday 02/16/2024 and will begin testing it and I will update this review.AS OF 2/16/24 - 5/5 STARSAS OF 2/22/24 - 4.5/5 STARSPHYSICAL/EXTERIOR: For starters, this is very much as described, however; due to this being sold from a third party refurnished seller, my device came with a laser removed engraving on the back. I suppose the previous owner had an engravement on the back and the seller laser removed it and now there's just a rectangular bar imprint - ideally better if the unit had a new shell but a case can easily cover this or a skin decal. But still appreciative the reseller took the time to laser removed the engraving, it would of been odd to have a special message on there from the previous owner; most refurbished resellers don't do this.As for scratches and scuffs, VERY FEW and they are very minimal and can be easily be covered with a screen protector, nothing major. No dent/dinks or cracks.BATTERY/CHARGER: I went ahead and checked for the battery health of device (look up on google how to do so if you're curious - very simple math); my device sits at 95% - which is pretty good for a device this "old". I will see how well this holds a charge - I mainly use this ipad for note taking and procreate for drawing.The charger brick also appears to be the original despite the obvious appearance of wear (quite a lot of scratches) but it still charges. The USB cable is also new but not sure if its original - again still charges.OVERALL: You cant beat it for the price, it a great deal but again purchasing from third party resellers is always a gamble - you never know what you'll get as per previous reviews. I will continue using this and will update as mentioned.UPDATED REVIEW 2/22/24:As promised, I wanted to test the iPad out fully for almost a week before gathering my final thoughts. I tested the device rigorously every day switching best een taking notes, drawing, media consumption and calling.All my opinions stay intact as from what I had previously mentioned above.CHARGER:The reason I have decided to deduct .5 stars is that the cable that is shipped with the iPad to charge the unit seems loose DESPITE the cable appearing “new” and in packaging. I will leave it unattended for a bit only for me to come back and the charge had cut of. I tried using another USB cable and the charging connection was stable. It seems like a very tiny gripe but If you paid for a device this expensive you would expect for everything to work, especially a cable. I would not like to purchase ANOTHER charger because the one that originally shipped doesn’t have good contact with the port and thus - cuts off charge. (-.5 stars for inconvenience).BATTERY:Now considering that the device has a battery health of about 95% and I am using this almost throughout the entire day switching between various apps; the device holds the charge. I find myself charging every 7-8 hours or so. I do follow the 30-80% rule of charging to ensure the life of the battery is extended. But if I didn’t, I would approximate the device would last roughly 8-9 hours (will vary depending on user usage).SPEAKERS:Speakers are phenomenal , don’t know how Apple managed to squeeze in insane speakers. They get VERY loud. And it sounds very crispy.

I love my new IPad 12.9, I got it for my birthday and it was excellent buy. It came in great condition along with the charger. I ordered a protective screen and case in purple. And it’s so easy to setup, not too bad. The Screen protection beautiful, but do buy a protective screen cover, so it doesn’t crack and break. But I absolutely love it. 💜💜💜💜💜

The iPad is great, looks great works great.I think whoever refurbished this particular unit thinks it’s hilarious to set the iPad in voice over mode. This made the personalized set up an arduous process.8.5/10
