The original Apple iPad Air featured a 9.7-inch screen, 1-pound weight, and 2048 x 1536 native resolution. Our Apple iPad Air review heavily compares it to the 2017 iPad Pro, which had already been depreciated by the time of the review. It has the same size, similar design, and users of that ‘Pro’ model will feel right at home using this device. This tablet will serve those well that are looking for a mini laptop replacement, especially since it has Smart Keyboard support. This product has been inspected, tested, and refurbished by the Amazon Renewal Store. It is rated as being in excellent condition and is protected by the 90-day Amazon Renewed guarantee.

The iPad is the entry-level line of Apple’s tablets, and it 2017 release was the fifth-generation Apple iPad. The tablet heavily borrowed elements from the second-generation iPad Air, including the 9.7-inch Retina display with 2560 x 1600 resolution, 8.0MP rear camera, 1.2MP front camera, and 10 hours of battery life. The fifth-generation iPad, however, offers improved performance with its 64-bit A9 chip, resulting in smooth launching of even the most demanding apps. The physical home button doubles as the Touch ID fingerprint scanner, which protects the tablet from intruders while also serving as a quick way to unlock it for its owners. Amazon Renewed rates this product as being in excellent condition and asserts that it is fully functional. It is backed by a 90-day Amazon Renewed Guarantee.

The tablet, however, is upgraded with the A10 Fusion chip onboard, for even smoother performance. It also adds support for the Apple Pencil, a separately sold stylus that’s useful for drawing or writing on the iPad.

A lot of things stayed the same from its previous version though, including the A10 Fusion chip, 8.0MP rear camera, 1.2MP front camera, support for Apple Pencil, and a 10-hour battery life.
