Apple 2017 iPad Pro (10.5-inch, Wi-Fi, 64GB) – Space Gray (Renewed)

My favorite tech device
I love this iPad and use it everyday. I purchased it with the intention of using it for general web browsing, reading comics and drawing.I also purchased the Apple pencil and the combination of these two products has rekindled my desire to draw – a talent that has fallen by the wayside in the last ten years.For artistic purposes, many will want the larger sized iPad pro as it allows a larger canvas that fits the dimensions of traditional paper more closely. The trade off of course, is that this is more portable and can be held more comfortably. The smaller size for me personally was a good middle ground between using it for creative purposes and using it for idle entertainment.For reading comics this is amazing. It has excellent screen clarity and the colors are vibrant. When I zoom to individual cells of a comic, I don’t noticed any pixelation or distortion. I have also used it for reading magazines and have no complaints at all with the quality of the experience (Amazon has a nice selection of magazines that are free to read with the basic prime subscription). I haven’t tried to read an entire book on this, so I can’t comment on whether that’s possible without getting sore eyes. I will say that it is extremely handy for reading recipes and the portability of the device is great for use in the kitchen.Regarding the specifics of the actual refurbished device, I was extremely happy with the condition of the product which was like new. There were no scratches or defects of any kind. As others have mentioned, it comes with a third party charger, but this didn’t bother me because I felt that the price point was reduced enough to comfortably make that concession.Every other mobile device I’ve owned has been an Android device. I haven’t found the iOS ecosystem to be difficult to use. I will say that iOS is not as configurable or open as Android which is noticable. Certain preloaded apps that I would prefer to delete can’t even be properly hidden, which is at times annoying. For this reason I couldn’t see myself ever purchasing an iPhone, but for a tablet I can appreciate the charm of the operating system’s simplicity and directness. A strong bonus of this as a supplement to my Android phone is that the iOS has apps that are specifically tailored to the app store and not available elsewhere, which is fun to discover.The responsiveness of this iPad is unreal. Apps open incredibly quickly and the home screens slide back and forth with no noticable delay. I have also used this to watch YouTube videos and tv shows and was happy with the video and audio quality.Some people have postured that this a replacement for laptops or traditional computers. I couldn’t see this replacing a PC as a workstation, but perhaps I’m old school. It functions excellently doing things like writing on PDF files or reading documents. It is possible to adapt keyboard as well, but without a mouse I can’t imagine it for computer based office work. The glory of the tablet for me is using it on the couch for general entertainment.The battery holds a long charge, but as a downside takes quite a while to charge. This can easily go a day on a single charge with normal use, but mobile gaming will wear the battery down quicker as you can imagine.Ultimately I am very satisfied with the product. I had contemplated purchasing a lower priced tablet, but in the end decided that I would treat myself to the tablet that most online reviews regard as the best. I don’t regret it.

Good company to buy from.
Great IP. My husband bought it for me as a gift. Easy to setup and use.

Horrible Battery Life, Screen Touch Sensitiy
Let me start this off buy saying I almost never leave a bad review. So for me to post this, says a lot.Straight out of the box, it appeared as a brand new iPad. I was incredibly impressed and had high hopes. We’ve been using this iPad since the end of February and since day 1 it’s been nothing but issues. They started off small issues. Battery life bouncing around. Occasional issues with the touchscreen glitching. Over the last 3 months the small glitches have turned into major issues.The iPad will go from a full charge to 30% in about 20 minutes. Then dead in another 20. It HAS to be kept plugged in if it’s being used. It can be plugged in for an hour and not move from 1%. Then all the sudden it dies then comes back on at 100% the will drop to 4% almost immediately. Incredibly frustrating. When it’s charging (I’ve tried different cords and charging bricks as well as the cord and brick that came with the device) the back of the iPad gets INCREDIBLY hot to the touch, as does the brick.The touchscreen freezes up so often now, that it’s almost impossible to use procreate (my main reason for purchasing). If so much as the tip of your finger touches the screen, it’s two finger tapping. So it has to be held only with a flat hand across the back. Initially I thought it came with a glass screen protector. It has recently started to get a lot of chips along the edges of the glass so I assumed it was a cheap one. I went out and bought a good quality screen protector to replace it. Well unfortunately it’s not a screen protector, but the screen itself. It sticks up quite a bit about the frame. It also doesn’t reach the frame edges all the way around. Almost like the screen was replaced with one made to fit a different model.So pretty much I paid $200 for an iPad that is almost unusable (for what I bought it for) after 3 months 😞 Do yourself a favor and buy a newer generation iPad from a different seller.

Good customer service.
The iPad came in on time and looked amazing, but I had to return due to battery issue. I’m giving 5 stars though because they accepted my return and hopefully refund.
