One of the hardest items to find is the refurbished iPad 2, popular with Fairer Platform readers due to its low $319 price, is in stock at the Apple Store

Somebody at Apple is working on Christmas. One of the hardest items to find is the entry-level refurbished iPad 2, which is popular with Fairer Platform readers due to its attractive $319 price, is back in stock at the online Apple Store. Why would you want a 2011 tablet? Because it has the same internals as the iPad mini and a much bigger 9.7-inch screen for ten bucks less.

• 16GB iPad 2 w/ wi-fi, $319 (399)
— iPad 2 Wi-fi only: 32GB, $399; 64GB, $579
— iPad 2 3G + wi-fi: 16GB, $399; 32GB, $479; 64GB, $579

Personally, I went with a refurbished iPad 3 because of the faster processor, graphics and Retina display for a net additional cost of $60 over the refurbished iPad 2.
