Which tablet should you buy?

Mintro stocks the iPad Pro, iPad Air, iPad mini and Samsung Galaxy Tab. The Pro is the most powerful and suits creative work, the Air balances price and performance for everyday use, the mini is the compact choice, and the Galaxy Tab is the Android alternative.

Each listing also states whether a tablet is WiFi only or cellular, along with the network status of every cellular model. Cellular models usually cost a little more because of the added connectivity, and every one passes an IMEI and blacklist check before it is listed.

Why buy pre-owned tablets from Mintro

A pre owned iPad or refurbished tablet from Mintro costs significantly less than buying the same model new, with no compromise on testing or peace of mind.

Buying refurbished avoids the carbon cost of manufacturing a brand new device. Even a new iPad accounts for up to 135kg of CO2e, so choosing pre owned tech is one of the simplest ways to cut your footprint.

Every tablet is checked and priced by a real specialist, then photographed individually. The tablet in the photos is the exact one that arrives at your door.

If your needs change, our Buyback scheme means you can sell your tablet back to Mintro at any time. Prefer to spread the cost? Layaway lets you reserve any tablet with a 20 percent deposit and pay over up to 12 weeks, with no interest and no credit checks.
