Apple iPad Pro 10.5" A1701 Silver
The 120Hz ProMotion display on the 10.5-inch Retina screen remains its defining feature, offering smooth scrolling and responsive Apple Pencil input via the A10X Fusion chip. Its slim 454g build and iPadOS 15.4 support keep it viable for note-taking and media consumption at a refurbished price point. This tablet is best for students or casual users who prioritize a high-refresh-rate screen for reading and sketching over raw computing power.
