What to check before you buy
- Confirm the chip is M4 and not the earlier M3 or M2 Air.
- Check storage carefully; 128GB fills quickly if you download video or large games.
- If you buy a cellular model, make sure it is unlocked.
- Ask for a photo of the sealed box and the serial number label.
- Comparing with a used tablet? Many of the same checks apply as in our used smartphone guide.
