Apple iPad 9.7" 6 2018, A10 Fusion, 2GB, 32GB, Space Gray
The A10 Fusion chip and Apple Pencil support make this a capable entry-level tablet for digital sketching and note-taking on its 2048-by-1536 Retina display. Its 9.7-inch IPS panel with an oleophobic coating remains sharp and resistant to smudges, though the 32GB storage and 2GB RAM limit multitasking. This refurbished model is best for students or casual users needing a basic iPad for light drawing and media consumption.
