I was initially nervous about renewed but it's perfect
No fancy box, Samsung charger, but perfect iPad.There were some scratches around the charging port from where people obviously fumbled to find the USB-C port (but literally everyone's going to do that, it's what we get for threading a metal plug into a hole surrounded by metal) and that was it. No scratches on the screen, no corner/edge blur/weird coloration/slow responding screen nothing, it's just a very very gently used like-new iPad pro. Battery's great too, Amazon guarantees 80% of total battery life as though I have a real measure for what that means, what I can tell you in practice is, after about 5 hours of watching Netflix while I'm working at full brightness I need to plug in. When I'm drawing on it after about 3 hours, I haven't even thought about the battery. When I'm goofing off with synths in Garageband for and hour or two, I still haven't thought about the battery. If it's only 80% of the overall life, I would have literally no idea.What I'm saying is, I'm sure there are duds, I'm sure Amazon would refund them. I didn't get a dud, I got what is essentially a brand new iPad Pro from 2018 that I will be using for the next ~4 years for my design work, watching TV, browsing the internet, and goofing off with synths.I had a hard time choosing between this and the new iPad Air, and honestly, I don't think either is a bad choice. Overall though, the lesser storage with the more fluid screen mattered to me. I've got a phone with a high refresh rate screen, and it makes everything feel better. Dieter Bohn said in a review of the new iPad Air vs the regular iPad, something like "it's a nicer experience than the regular iPad, and when it comes to devices, whatever feels better to you is what's going to matter over time." and he was right. To me, I'm not working with huge space hungry files so storage isn't a huge concern, and day to day, I will feel better with the faster snappier screen when I'm scrolling through newsfeeds.Overall, if you're debating whether or not to get a new iPad Air, a new Pro, or this one, and the "Renewed" thing is a factor that's scaring you, for real, do not worry, compare them as though this was also "new"Ver másVer menos
