So it's Black Friday and you're most likely thinking of getting that perfect gift for either yourself or a loved one.
You've had a few months to a year to think about that must-have gadget and have decided upon getting an iPad 2 .
Unfortunately this year, your pocket won't stretch to afford the new and pricey iPad 2.
But you/your loved one wants that tablet so much, that you'll suffice with a refurbished one.
(According to Webopedia, the term refurbished refers to old or used computer devices that have been restored to "like- new" working conditions or appearance.
But refurbished can also refer to the hardware components of a computer that have been either replaced with similar components or updated with newer technology than the device originally came with).
Currently, new iPad 2s come with iOs 5 (operating system), Wifi and optionally 3G, thus allowing you to use the iPad 2 with your existing Internet connection or with that of your mobile service provider.
Online retailers are currently selling the 16GB Wifi-only versions of the iPad2 at upwards of $599 (E.g. the Wifi-only 16GB to 64GB iPad 2s com with a price tag of $499 to $699).
However if you want the Wifi+3G iPad 2s in the above storage range, you'll have to shell out between $629 and $829.
So, just where is the best place to get best deals on refurbished iPad2s?
Well, the best place to get great deals on refurbished iPad 2s is Amazon.com!
Don't bother wasting your time doing Google searches, we've done the research for you - visit Amazon.com
E.g.:
You can get the refurbished lower-end iPad2 (WIFI+3G 16GB models) for 649+ free shipping and the refurbished higher-end iPad2(WIFU+3g for 64GB models) for $749 + $5.49 shipping.
That's a whopping $49-$56 difference over the new version!
With these kinds of price savings, you should really get your refurbished iPad2 at Amazon.com, while stocks last.
Purchasing your refurbished iPad2 from Amazon.com means that you'll get it at a fraction of the cost you'd spend on new one and have some money left over to do other things...
...Which is a win-win situation, any-which way you look at it!
