★★★★☆ 4.1 (4)

The 120Hz ProMotion display and A10X Fusion chip deliver fluid visuals and responsive performance for a 2017 tablet. Its 10.5-inch Liquid Retina screen with 2224x1668 resolution and Apple Pencil support make it a precise tool for sketching and note-taking at a refurbished price point. This device is best for digital artists and students who prioritize a high-refresh-rate canvas and stylus input over raw computing power.
