The best iPad for creatives, according to a professional artist

· New York Post

TL;DR: This refurbished model makes this iPad Pro an affordable tablet for artists with 53% savings while supplies last.

As a professional artist, I always get asked: “What iPad do you use to design your stickers?” And I’m no gatekeeper: I use the 2020 iPad Pro 12.9”. The screen is huge, it’s compatible with my favorite apps, and there’s no lag. You also have a unique opportunity to get it for half the price I did!

Since I bought my iPad when it first came out, I spent $1,299 (yikes). But you can get the exact same one now for only $599.99. If you don’t mind that it’s pre-owned and a few years old, you can save 53% on this refurbished iPad Pro — but there are fewer than 50 in stock, so order ASAP!

Here’s why I recommend this model to any creative mind:

  • It has a fast A12Z Apple chip, meaning you can use design apps like Procreate or Adobe Illustrator without any freezing or crashing.
  • The 12.9-inch screen size is so convenient for viewing your projects with sharp resolution. 
  • 128GB of space stores plenty of design files.
  • 10-hour battery life allows you to work all day.
  • Front and rear HD cameras help you take high-quality reference photos or hop on FaceTime calls.

While my iPad Pro was new, I’ve purchased several other refurbished devices. They’re always rated for a certain level of quality — this iPad was labeled as grade “A,” meaning it’s in near-mint condition. You may not even notice it’s been used before.

However, you may notice some light wear on the back of the iPad, like some faint scuffs, but there will be no scratches on the screen. Regardless, I recommend getting a case and screen protector to protect your purchase — it would also cover any cosmetic flaws.

Grab this iPad for drawing and designing while they’re still in stock! You can save 53% with this $599.99 deal (reg. $1,299).
