Tablets offer the perfect middle ground between a smartphone’s portability and a laptop’s generous screen space. However, some folks may find even the standard-size tablet too unwieldy for their needs. That’s where the Apple iPad mini comes in.
The iPad mini offers a balanced, handheld viewing experience unmatched by most phones (unless you’re willing to shell out for a foldable like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4, which starts at a hefty $1,799.99). If you simply need a wider screen to read and stream during your travels—and don’t care for the most powerful internals—this iPad mini 4 might serve you well. And you can purchase this it for just $289.99.
A Tablet You Can Hold in One Hand
Weighing 0.67 pounds and boasting a 7.9-inch display, the iPad mini 4 is easy to hold and small enough to slip into your bag or purse without introducing much bulk. This model hails from 2015 and contains an Apple A8 processor with 2GB of memory, offering adequate performance for light workloads such as watching YouTube videos and split-screen multitasking.
PCMag awarded the iPad mini 4 four stars in 2015, calling it a “top-notch small-screen tablet with unparalleled build quality and app support.” The 8MP camera produces sharp images, and the 326 PPI display offers reduced screen glare for comfortable viewing, even in broad daylight. You’ll get 128GB of storage, which should be plenty for your essential apps, media, and the odd work file. You shouldn’t have any problems connecting, either; the device is 4G unlocked, so you can install a SIM card to access the web from anywhere your network offers service.
This iPad mini 4 earned a B-grade refurbished rating, so you should expect some exterior wear and tear, but can rest assured that the device functions perfectly. The tablet comes pre-installed with a tempered glass protector, black snap-on case to hide all exterior imperfections, UL-certified wall charger, Lightning cable, and original Apple box.
Save Over Half Off When You Shop Refurbished
Whether you’re on a tight budget or simply want to test to see whether a table is for you, PCMag readers can get this Apple iPad mini 4 for just $289.99—60% off the $729 MSRP.
