A tablet is a handy mobile device, with a larger screen than a smartphone and a more portable design than a laptop. If you have decided to buy one of these popular devices, you’ll want to be sure you invest in the right used iPad. Consider each of the important factors below to guide you through your shopping.

A Guide to Shopping for a Tablet

1. Choose Your Size

Tablets come in a wide range of screen sizes. Because you’ll be carrying it around, you want to find one that’s sized just right. The screen should be large enough for your needs, while the design should be small enough to be easily portable. Visit a store to handle the different sizes.

7-inch or 8-inch screens are the most portable but won’t have much capability outside of an e-reader or checking email. 10-inch screens are mid-size devices that can handle more complex work or play, but likely won’t fit in a purse. You can carry them in a briefcase or backpack. 12-inch are larger are best if you’re using the tablet as an alternative to a laptop.

2. Find the Right Storage Capabilities

If you intend to use cloud storage and will often have internet access, this may not be as big of a concern. However, it’s still good to have enough storage on the device itself for the basic needs. 32GB or 64GB is best for light usage; if you intend to have more apps, upgrade to 128GB or higher.

3. Consider a New vs. Used iPad

Apple® devices are known to be the best, but they come with a steep price tag. If you’re not set on having the latest model, buying a used iPad is a smart option. If you choose to go pre-owned, simply buy the device from a reputable supplier who will refurbish and guarantee their project.
