Unless you really need the iPad Pro (and you almost definitely do not), the standard, vanilla 2018 iPad is a terrific tablet for both consuming and creating media. It even works with the Apple Pencil, the first non-Pro iPad to do so.
We haven’t seen many deals on the new model since it was released, but today only, Amazon is blowing out refurbs for $290 (32GB) and $380 (128GB), in the color of your choice. There’s also an iPad Mini 3 in there, but just ignore that.
