Almost half a year after the launch of the iPad 2 tablet, Apple begins to commercialize in the store or online refurbished units at prices $50 lower than in the case of new products. Refurbished units are units sold and taken back or repaired units that have the outer casing and batteries changed together with any damaged components. Apple rigorously checks the products before putting them back on sale as refurbished, and the term itself should not lead you to think that you will receive a scratched, damaged product, etc., because you will receive a practically new one but rechecked by Apple .
Unfortunately, the price difference compared to a new tablet is small and for $50 some will prefer to buy the brand new model even if it is necessary to wait until its delivery. Refurbished models have the same warranty as new models, so theoretically you won't even feel like you bought a refurbished product.
