Apple hasn’t changed the design of its iPads much over the past few years, making it fairly easy to confuse the company’s latest 9.7-inch model with 2014’s iPad Air 2. In fact, the extremely well-reviewed tablet that was discontinued last year to make room for a non-Pro, non-Air new iPad is both thinner and lighter than 2018’s Apple Pencil-enabled 9.7-incher.

The iPad Air 2 also comes with a timeless 2048 x 1536 “Retina” display, very capable 8MP rear and 1.2MP front cameras, a solid 2GB RAM, and perhaps most importantly, iOS 12 support.

Otherwise put, this bad boy can definitely hold its own against “modern” Android slates, which makes Amazon’s latest “Deal of the Day” a straight-up bargain. For just $300, you can get a certified refurbished Apple iPad Air 2 with a generous 128GB storage space, although you’ll obviously need to hurry.

Three different color options are in stock at the time of this writing, with the silver variant fetching $299, and gold and space gray flavors going for $299.99 each. Technically, this is not an item shipped and sold directly by Amazon, but fret not, as BuySpry is a reliable, “specialized”, and approved third-party retailer.

By far the best thing about this deal is that you get a full 1-year warranty, and the iPad Air 2 units on sale are naturally “tested and certified to work and look like-new.” Keep in mind that you can find certified refurbished iPads on the online Apple Store as well, but this particular configuration, with Wi-Fi connectivity only and 128 gigs of storage, currently costs $359. So, yeah, you’re looking at a cool $60 discount today on Amazon.
