Want to help your less tech-savvy relatives stay connected? iPads have a simple user interface, and a ton of apps to choose from, and you can get a lightly used one for a great deal. This refurbished iPad Air could be a great gift, and it’s only $179.99.

An easy way to connect with family

This refurbished iPad could be a great gift for a family member. It’s an older model, but it has been refurbished to the point that you’d struggle to find any signs that it was used. The “B” rating just means you might notice some light scuffing or scratches, but that’s nothing the included snap-on case can’t cover. If your family member is a nature lover, they may even be excited to hear their gift is refurbished since re-using technology is a great way to cut down on e-waste —between the price and the eco-friendliness, it's a win-win.

The 9.7-inch Retina Display is still crystal-clear. Whether you’re streaming, talking online, or just playing solitaire, you can enjoy the vivid color and clarity that iPads are known for.

Your family could snap photos and FaceTime using the 5MP rear camera or 1.2MP front-facing camera. Get up to 10 hours of operation from a single charge from the included AC lightning cable. If you’re looking for a gift for a frequent flyer, grab them a tablet that only weighs a pound. If you’re feeling fancy, you could even download some games you think they’d like in advance.

An affordable tablet for your family

Help your family stay connected, even if they aren’t the most tech-savvy. Here’s your chance to save on a high-quality refurbished tablet that may still arrive in time for the holidays. For a limited time, get an Apple iPad Air on sale for just $179.99 (reg. $499).
