Any IPad deals?

[happily single]

I need to replace my 5th generation iPad. does anyone know of any deals going on?

Walmart and Best Buy frequently have brand new previous year models on sale. Besides that, check the apple site for apple refurbished models.

I search on Slickdeals.net for specific items like this. I also set a deal alert to monitor for a bit if the purchase can wait. They email me a "deal report" if one pops up. It has helped me save money on an iPad, fridge and some other items. The people who post the deals are also really good about the best way to buy an item to maximize points, rewards or memberships. Happy Hunting!

If it matters the newest generation which will also be full price has a slightly larger screen. Otherwise there are deals to be found on the last generation in many stores.

Go to the Apple store, scroll aaaallllll the way to the bottom and click on "Certified Refurbished"

We have bought many items here. Same warranty. Good savings with no downside.

Costco usually has seasonal deals on iPads. Check out their site.

If you consider any type of 'refurbished' electronic device, look carefully at the warranty. When they attempt to repair a computer, other sensitive electronic components can get damaged in the process. See how long the warranty lasts and exactly what it covers to avoid surprises down the road. I would rather buy last year's new model at a discount vs. anything that has been refurbished.

Apple is not repairing iPads for sale as refurbished.

If an iPad is returned for any reason it goes thru the 'refurbishment' process if the package has been opened. ie; someone could buy an ipad, open it, and decide they don't like the color.

Apple does a full test of every unit, any product sold as refurbished is classified as 'excellent.'

They are repackaged in a different box than what you'd find at retail, then sold at a discount with the same warranty as a new product.

Thanks,everyone. I was able to find a new IPad at Target for under $300. Not sure which model, but it acts just like my older model
