Ipad--New 16gb or refurbished 32gb

[Deleted]

Which would you pick for yourself and why? We are getting an iPad for Christmas, and can't decide.

I would get whatever is cheaper. I am not afraid of refurbs but if it's still more expensive than the 16GB I wouldn't bother.

We have a 16GB iPad and it's fine. We don't use it for music and everything else fits on it with no problem.

They are the same price, which is what is tripping us up.

My dad used to work for Apple and always recommends their refurb products. If you need the extra GB's, go for the 32.

If they're the same price and the warranty is the same on both, I would go for the 32GB then.

We don't store a lot of files on our iPads, so for us the smallest hard drive size is the best. If I were going to splurge on something it would be 3G. I always used to say I didn't miss it, but there have been a few times since then when I would have really liked to have had it.

Do you have a Discover card? FYI through shopdiscover.com you can get 10% cashback on Apple Store online orders. There is also a 5% cashback for online purchases but I'm not sure if they are stack-able.

We bought the 32/3G model at Apple's BF online sale. It was worth an extra hundred or two dollars to us to know that storage won't be an issue, as we'll probably have it for quite a while and load it with lots of apps/movies for the kids. It was also worth it to us to buy the cellular data version so that we won't ever regret NOT buying it, KWIM?

I think eBates also has cash back on Apple... but I could be making that up.
