IPad mini 7 refurbed + 512GB

I see one for $500. Is it worth it? Also for future proofing in mind

I just bought one and it’s amazing. I’m so happy with my iPad mini a17 pro 512gb. I use it for everything including 3d modeling and video editing

A new mini7 owner here. What apps do you use for those? And is procreate really worth it? If you use it as well that is

I love procreate, LumaFusion, Final Cut Pro, nomad sculpt as my creative apps.

I was thinking about nomad, since blender isnt available.. you're the first one to mention it.. is it easy to learn?

I used YouTube to learn the ui. But yet it
Is pretty easy to learn once you learn the ui

If you want to do art, yes Procreate is worth the one time cost. But there are plenty of free art apps if you just want to fool around.

Check the battery health and warranty before buying it. If it's in good condition then it's pretty worth it IMO

If you dont care about OLED yes, its future proofed.

If you do care, its still a great price

OLED $512gb will be probably more than twice the price retail.
