Buy refurbished iPad Pro 9.7″ – 11″

This category includes all "compact" iPad Pro models. This includes the older classics, the 9.7" and 10.5" iPad Pro (with a Home button), as well as all generations of the modern 11" iPad Pro (from the bezel-less 2018 model to the latest M4 model). It's the ideal category for you if you're looking for professional performance but want a device that remains handy and lightweight.

The 11-inch iPad Pro (M4, 2024) represents the biggest leap in the history of the smaller iPad Pro. While its predecessors (M1/M2) relied on traditional LCD screens, the M4 model is the first to feature the revolutionary Tandem OLED display. It's also incredibly thin at just 5.3 mm and utilizes the AI-optimized M4 chip. For users of the 11-inch size, this translates to a significant upgrade in image quality.

This size class is the perfect all-rounder for students, commuters, and creatives who are often on the go. An 11" iPad Pro fits comfortably on train tray tables and in any bag, yet offers enough power for note-taking, photo editing, and office work. If the 13" model is too bulky or heavy for you, this is the one for you.

The differences are particularly significant here. The latest iPad Pro 11" (M4) uses a tandem OLED display that offers exceptional contrast and brightness. Previous iPad Pro 11" generations (1st to 4th generation) use a Liquid Retina LCD, which, while offering very accurate colors and also featuring 120Hz ProMotion, cannot display true black. The older 9.7" and 10.5" models have classic Retina displays, which are also sharp but have wider bezels.

The choice of stylus depends on the model year. The latest iPad Pro 11" (M4) requires either the Apple Pencil Pro or the USB-C Pencil. The bezel-less iPad Pro 11" models from the 1st to 4th generations use the magnetic Apple Pencil (2nd generation). The older models with a Home button (9.7" and 10.5"), however, only work with the original Apple Pencil (1st generation), which connects via the Lightning connector.

Models from 2021 onwards (iPad Pro 11" 3rd generation and newer) utilize the extremely powerful M1, M2, or M4 chips, which are also found in MacBooks and offer desktop-level performance for video editing. Older models with A-series chips (such as A12X or A10X) are still very fast for everyday tasks, streaming, and note-taking, but reach their limits with extremely demanding professional apps like Final Cut Pro or when multitasking.

No, you need to look closely here, as the connectors have changed. The ultra-thin 11-inch iPad Pro (M4) requires the special Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro (M4). Previous 11-inch generations are compatible with the classic Magic Keyboard and the Smart Keyboard Folio. For the older 9.7-inch and 10.5-inch models, you'll need their specific Smart Keyboards.

Absolutely, because the design of the 11-inch iPad Pro has barely changed externally since 2018. Even the first and second generation models already offer Face ID, the smooth 120Hz ProMotion display, and a modern USB-C port. If you're looking for a high-quality tablet for university or work, but don't have the budget for an M4 model, these models from that year offer unbeatable value for money at Revendo.
