iPad mini 4 (certified refurbished) on sale: Save $300 at Walmart

When he reviewed the ultra-thin Apple iPad mini 4 upon its debut in fall 2015, Mashable’s Ray Wong went so far as to deem it “[the] best tablet under 10 inches.” 

But at a base price of $599 for the 128GB model, Wong thought Apple was charging far too much for the device: “Buyers on a budget should steer clear of this tablet,” he wrote at the time. 

Well, steer clear no more: You can get an Apple iPad mini 4 with WiFi and 128 GB of storage for half off its MSRP at Walmart, so long as you’re OK with buying certified refurbished. 

In case you haven’t heard, buying certified refurbished means you get a used device that’s guaranteed to work and look good as new. So, in the case of this iPad mini 4, you get the same lightening-fast processing speeds, 10-hour battery life, iSight and FaceTime HD cameras, robust A8 chip, gorgeously laminated 7.9-inch Retina display, and sleek gold finish as you would with a brand new tablet. 

This particular iPad 4 mini also comes equipped with iOS 10, Touch ID, Apple Pay, WiFi, and LTE. Plus, you can easily enhance its functionality by downloading any number of the million-plus apps for iPad in the App store.
