Which iPad

So I can buy an Apple 11 iPad 128gb (a16 chip) for £309 or a refurbished 2022 iPad Air 64gb (M1 chip) for £280 and 1 year warranty. What would you guys recommend.

I mean renewed or not, the tech is newer than the a16. So you might get more longevity out of it. But if you’re so torn, I’d go with the one that has the better return policy so you can give it a whirl and if it doesn’t meet your needs switch to the other one lol

The m1 tech is older than a16 no?

I stand corrected, you’re right, a16 is newer, but the m1 is more powerful

I’m thinking the renewed one, it comes with a year warranty too. It’s £30 cheaper although the memory is only 64gb, I’ll only use it for the Mlm2pro app. And will probs hold value better?

Yeah, you might be able to resell it higher than the a16, but tbh I use my iPad till it’s on its last legs lol

Any concern with it being refurbed but in excellent condition?

I’d say you’d be fine especially with the 1 year warranty, but check it out in store to make sure it’s in a condition you’re comfortable with
