The Apple Store still has the factory-refurbished Apple iPad 2 WiFi + 3G 16GB Tablet for AT&T or Verizon, model nos. MC982LL/A, MC985LL/A, or MC773LL/A, for $449 with free shipping. (It's the second through fourth options.) That's tied with last week's mention, $60 below what Apple charges for a new one, $180 under what Apple charges for an equivalent current-generation iPad, and the lowest total price we've seen for a 3G iPad 2 backed by an Apple warranty. Sales tax is added where applicable. This 0.3"-thick tablet weighs 1.3 lbs. and features a 9.7" 1024x768 LCD touchscreen display, 802.11n wireless, Bluetooth, up to 10 hours of battery life, and more. A 1-year Apple warranty applies.

More refurbished iPad and iPad 2 models are available from $379.
