I was looking at open box iPad Mini 4s today. Holding off because of university major change and need to figure out which portable will be the best for me.

and thanks for the P.S. that's pretty darn important.
 
Also $299 for an iPad Air 2. Crazy considering Apple was selling it for $499 a couple of months ago!
 
Some good prices.. I just have zero reason to upgrade from my iPad mini 1st gen!

You will once it's stops getting support in the fall with IOS 10 rolling out. Dump it for as much as you can and use that money towards a mini 4 to offset the cost.
 
Wow - great prices here. Mini 4 was an awesome tablet, I only upgraded to Pro for the pen support.
 
Thanks for posting this! I offloaded my Pro 9.7" as I wasn't using it enough to justify the cost but reading on the iPhone is less than great so I'll be picking one of these up after work!
 
Can't I just keep on using it with iOS7?

Sure can

Got a mini1 on 7.1.1 jailbroken. LOVE the slate back

Will be a good device along with my 12.9 :)

(Gave my dad my mini2 on 8.4 jailbroken when I got air2 in the fall and have since sold it and moved onto the big boy)
 
I was waiting for this deal to be offered again, but it was taking a while, so I bought a 64GB refurbished iPad mini 4 for $130 less than retail last week. Two days later this deal was offered again. I waited a few days deciding whether I wanted to just return the refurbished model and pay $30 more for a new model, or $60 more and get the 16GB cellular model.

I decided on the cellular model. I'm still waiting on both to ship, but the cellular model looks like it's going to get here a day before the Wi-Fi model. I'll just return the refurbished one at a store as soon as I get it. Sucks that none of the Best Buys in my area have the cellular model in stores or I'd have it already.
 
Just got my iPad mini 4 in the mail yesterday. Sucks I had to wait, but none of the Best Buys within 100 miles had the 16GB silver cellular model in stock.

Man I love this thing. It's noticeably thinner than my old iPad mini 2 and the speed just doesn't compare. Absolutely no lag on this thing, and I love that apps and tabs aren't constantly refreshing in the background. I wish I would've upgraded sooner. And having unlimited data and unlimited hotspot in a small tablet is amazing.
