Apple iPad Pro 12.9" Ipad Pro 2 Space Gray 2017
72 out of 100 medium confidence 10 reviews
The iPad Pro II (12.9") is generally well-received as a refurbished product, with many users praising its near-new condition, large screen, and value for music sheets and note-taking. However, several verified buyers report recurring touchscreen unresponsiveness and battery issues, including one unit that only charged to 67% and another with a failing screen after five months. While most find it functional and a good deal, the mixed reliability and occasional defects prevent a higher overall score.
