Highlights
Quality
I have had this one for 12 years and it’s still going strong
With that said, the functionality was great and easy to use and set up.
After 10 years of daily use the charging port is messed up.
Within three years his 3g stopped working and it’s been in a drawer ever since.
Price
My husband purchased an ipad at around the same time for almost $900.
I purchased this tablet 10 years ago for about $200.
Shipping
Ordering was easy, timely delivery and overall a good product.
Packaging/appearance
I’ve been reluctant to buy refurbished products, but this one has been totally trouble free; works as if new out of the original packaging.
