You do the math — get a full-size refurbished iPad 2 (9.7-inches) for $319 or buy the smaller iPad mini (7.9-inches) for $10 more. The internals, warranty and free shipping are the same, but you get a whole lot more iPad when you buy refurbished.

Yes, indeed, the iPad mini is now shipping from $329 and the reviews have been very good. Nevertheless, the best Apple tablet values are refurbished iPads.
