Sir Topham Hatt Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I have a Surface RT (1st gen), which has been okay, but not brilliant. Used to browse the web and watch a few videos, that's it really, nothing too demanding. I won an iPad Mini 3 and will be picking it up this week, nice, new sealed. Unknown size but I suspect it to be the base model. Do I keep the iPad or sell it? Things I want more than an iPad: New camera ( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DConnell Member Posted February 16, 2015 Member Share Posted February 16, 2015 Play with the iPad and see if you like it. If you do, keep it. Otherwise wipe it & sell it. You might get a little less for it since you opened it and played with it, but since you won it, you'll make a profit regardless. +E.Worm Jimmy 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACTIONpack Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Don't get the Surface RT. Microsoft is no longer going to make anymore devices and will be supporting it for a few years. Better off getting an iPad Mini 2 instead of 3. You will save some money by not getting finger ID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+E.Worm Jimmy Subscriber¹ Posted February 17, 2015 Subscriber¹ Share Posted February 17, 2015 i'd get rid of RT. keeping the ipad seems a good idea, or get whatever else more recent from the win 8.1 or android world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO get rid of the surface rt as pointed above, sell, sell the ipad, and buy whatever something better of your liking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctebah Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I wouldn't open the iPad if I were you. Go play with one at bestbuy or somewhere and see how you like it. If it's everything you ever wanted, then keep it, otherwise selling an unopened iPad will fetch more money. I had an iPad for about a year and then sold it because I used my iPhone more than my iPad. One great thing about any Apple device is that they fetch more money when used than you would get from other manufacturers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raa Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Why not sell both, you sound like you'd like a bit better life from a tablet but not a heavy user, so is a casual Android tablet more to your task? Combining the sale of both, you should have some change to splash out on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhangm Supervisor Posted February 17, 2015 Supervisor Share Posted February 17, 2015 Well, I don't think selling the RT is going to net you much income, given that it's used, and has been superseded for quite a while by the Surface 2. You may wish to sell the iPad sooner rather than later, before rumors of the Bigger iPad has an effect on how much people are willing to pay for it.

Yes, he'd get less money if he decides to sell it, but since he won the iPad, everything he gets is a profit. Frankly, in his place I'd sell both SRT and iPad and put the money toward an SP3.
