If you need to get work done on the go, a laptop might be your computer of choice. However, a notebook could feel unwieldy if you travel frequently or enjoy binging content in bed, whereas your smartphone might be too small to get anything significant done.

A tablet may provide an excellent middle ground, and the iPad Pro offers one of the best handheld experiences on the market. However, Apple isn’t afraid to charge high prices for its products, and tablets are no exception. If you don’t need the latest and greatest hardware, you can join the Apple ecosystem at a significant discount by shopping refurbished. Right now, you can purchase a used iPad Pro for $311.

This refurbished 9.7-inch Apple iPad Pro from 2016 might offer everything you need without breaking the bank. As noted in our review, this tablet features a fantastic Retina display with excellent brightness, a 2,048 x 1,536 resolution and support for Apple’s P3 color gamut. Plus, it’s powered by an A9X CPU, which can handle web browsing, emails, gaming and content streaming adequately.

This model contains a 7.5Whr lithium polymer battery, which can provide up to 10 hours of battery life off a single charge, enough for a full day of moderate use. And while this iPad doesn’t feature cellular data, you can use WiFi to download movies, music and e-books to pass the time when you’re offline. This tablet received a “B” grade during inspection, so while you can expect light cosmetic blemishes, it should function as intended. Finally, the package comes with a protective cover, a UL-certified wall charger, a Lightning cable, a protective case and an OEM Apple box.

If you already own a laptop and smartphone, it’s understandable that you might not want to invest heavily in a tablet. But with this refurbished discount, you can save over $400 on a 2016 iPad Pro, dropping the price to just $311.
