it literally says 4th gen, whatever that means. All the information is on the apple page. Released March 2020. In my opinion not enough of an improvement over the 2018 and much worse than the m1 versions.

yeah... if it isn't an M1 or above processor it really isn't worth it...

You're basically buying outdated tech. Very limited future proofing

I think he meant either buy a 3rd gen for cheaper? or a 5th gen for more.

Only thing is, I can't find a 3rd gen for under $800... maybe it's just Calgary's kijiji where people are asking $800-900 for their used and abused 2nd gens. Not to mention 5th gens are significantly more money.

Maybe someone can point me to a 3rd gen for under $800 but if not, this seems like a ok deal.

I don't use kijiji at all anymore. Facebook marketplace is a lot better. Not in calgary, but near me some people are selling 3rd gens for $850 but I see at least one $700 that doesn't look obviously damaged and seems to be working.

Wait until Apple refurb store has 3rd gen in stock?

With taxes this would be $925.

At this price I would prefer an used 5th gen M1 for $1000. I got a brand new sealed 5th gen last month for $1100.

If you go for it, don't forget the 15k per $100 apple gift card that will start Jan 26th at SDM.

This is still a great price, but if you aren't currently in the market, maybe wait a few months for M1 to hit refurbished.
That being said, this is a beast of a machine and I currently own the model before it and it runs like a CHAMP.

I’m surprised m1 hasn’t hit refurb market in Canada yet for either of the iPad pros. I wonder if they are repurposing the chips for the iPad Air or are just selling them in the US refurb market.

3rd Gen. 12.9 was available for $699.99 for 64gb a few months ago

So it’s $120 more now for a better camera, similar SOC and extra 64gb now

I was gonna get it but then I read 3rd bend easily

I’d hope a base 128gb m1 5th gen refurb comes out soon for $999.99

Oh I had no idea Apple had the 3rd gen refurbs, it's not listed on their site so I assumed not.

I bought a mint used 4G 12.9 128-LTE with Magic Keyboard for 800.00.
I also have an 11” M1 and can say that the overall performance of the 12.9 is very close to the M1 with the apps that i use.

I got myself the 2020 11 inch for $650 and it's plenty for just watching media and doing web surfing. If I want to upgrade, I rather just wait until Ipad transitions to OLED.

It’s up to you which to buy, but you can sign up on refurbtracker for email updates when something is in stock!
