Ipad reman versus ipad2

[SweetPoison]

I bought my iPad 2 the day they came out. At work we recently got an iPad and they actually ordered a refurbished iPad 1. I can definitely tell a difference in speed between the two iPads

Refurbished or not, the iPad2 will be faster than iPad1.

Refurbished or not, the iPad2 will be faster than iPad1.

Of course the ipad 2 will be faster than any iPad 1, I specified it was refurbished since the OP was asking about refurbished iPad 1. I expect a new iPad 1 and a refurbished iPad 1 to be the same in regards to speed and both slower than an iPad 2.

Well I wouldn't cut a piece of softwood with a refurb iPad!

Well, I'm out of luck then, particularly since I usually use hardwoods for my projects -

But, maybe I can get an app for the iPad that will run my table saw?

I would buy again a 1st gen iPad just for the looks, I love the weight and shape fits better my hands. Some of my apps are better on iPad2 so maybe I will buy a secondhand iP2 in the future (next year, hahaha), but will never sell my first love.
By the way my MacBook Santa Rosita is also a great refurbished unit. Still kicking. Sometimes cheapoApple rules.

BTW - if one is interested in purchasing a refurbished Apple product (you now have me interested since I know my wife & I will want to read books on the iPad at the same time, esp. while traveling!), what is the best option?

Should one buy locally at an Apple store or order online? I'm assuming the the 'quality control' on these machines is similar w/ either option? Just curious and thanks for your comments -

I think whatever is most convenient for you: not everyone has easy access to an Apple store, after all. Regardless of where you get it, they are covered by the same extensive warranty from Apple.
