No longer listed among the overall best tablets money can buy after the release of their Apple M1-powered successors a few months back, last year's 11 and 12.9-inch iPad Pros are still objectively better than the best Samsung tablets available today.
Of course, Apple doesn't directly sell the iPad Pro (2020) duo anymore, forcing those looking for a discount over the latest generation to seek Amazon or Best Buy's help. Unless you can make do with a refurbished unit, in which case the Cupertino-based tech giant becomes a decent option to take into consideration again.
That's right, the second-gen iPad Pro 11 and fourth-gen iPad Pro 12.9 are available from the official online US Apple Store now in "certified refurbished" condition, and the prices are... not exactly irresistible.
Granted, you could do a lot worse than picking up a $609 11-inch or $749 12.9-inch Apple A12Z Bionic powerhouse with 128 gigs of internal storage space, a full 1-year manufacturer warranty, a new battery and outer shell, and a new white box for shipping.
The 2021-released iPad Pro 11 and 12.9, in case you're wondering, are normally priced at $799 and $1,099 respectively in their entry-level 128GB Wi-Fi-only configurations, so at least compared to that, you're looking at spending considerably less money here.
Then again, Amazon still sells the hot new ultra-high-enders at substantial discounts, not to mention how frequently you can find precisely these iPad Pro models from last year sold at lower prices by the likes of Best Buy in both new and refurbished condition.
All things considered, the appeal of buying "iDevices" straight from Apple is impossible to deny (sometimes at the expense of common sense), so have at it!
