Six refurbished iPads are waiting to be snagged from Apple’s Special Deals section, where the Cupertino giant is listing very attractive prices for at least two configurations.

Specifically, Apple has cut $100 off the original retail price of its iPad, 32GB Wi-Fi and iPad, 64GB Wi-Fi. These pre-owned devices now sell for $499.00 and $599.00 respectively.

According to Apple, each of the company’s “certified” refurbished iPads is fully tested (including full burn-in testing) and refurbished with replacement parts for any defective modules identified in testing.

The tablet is put through a thorough cleaning process and inspection, repackaged (including manual, USB cable, etc.), and includes the operating software originally shipped with the unit and the custom software offered with that unit.

Lastly, the product is given a new refurbished part number and serial number, and is placed into a Final QA inspection prior to being added to sellable refurbished stock.

Customers can also save some $70.00 on a 16GB refurbished iPad Wi-Fi. The rest of the discounts go no higher than $50.

Visit Apple here to benefit from this offer now.

You can also check with the Mac section of the Special Deals area to see what discounts are there on Macintosh computers as well.
