Buying an ipad new or second hand
Any tips on this? I'm looking into getting an ipad because some of the work software I use is only on ios. I want one that isn't too old but I have a tight budget so would consider buying second hand. What might I expect to pay?

Apple Refurb Store, http://store.apple.com/uk/browse/home/specialdeals/ipad i have bought Macs from there before you could not tell they were not brand new apart from the box not being the same as you would get with a brand new one.

You should be able to bag a mini 2 with retina for £200 or thereabouts second hand, I'd definitely recommend this over the original mini which is slower and has a crap screen. |

You can buy second hand from Online bargain sites or sites like ebay
Here are few tips Ask About Warranties and Returns:- Although most used tablets will not be covered by warranties, some may be new enough to still be covered by the original manufacturer’s guarantee. Is the Serial Number in Place? :-Although not all items have a serial number on display, it is always best to make sure that those used tablets that do typically have serial numbers still have these numbers in place. Take a Closer Look at the Tablet :-Once a buyer finds the perfect used tablet, he should take a closer look at the item. Ask the seller about any performance issues, as well as the charge-holding capacity of the battery. |
