im thinking of buying a ipad 2 refurb from apple just need to know what condition these come in?

They are just customer returns/repairs so pretty much as good as new - they would tell you if the condition was any worse than that

It'll look brand new.

Are they gurenteewd?

Yes, for 1 year.

I bought a refurb Mac Book Pro from Apple last year and to my eye it was brand new, wouldnt hesitate in buying a refurb from Apple.

my problem with the referb'd ipads is not the quality. it's the price.

They *might* have a few cosmetic issues but to be honest they're returns. So they'll have been used say once or twice if at all.

You think they are too expensive? How much do you think they should be?

they're about 8% cheaper than the price new.

Why not buy one from Tesco new, using there online code and get £10 off

I'm happy with that
