If you’re looking for an iPad to serve your web browsing, email, and movie watching needs, grab this one now from Apple for just $399.

This iPad refurb is a bargain at $399 ($100 off), even though the tablet is almost two years old. The first-generation iPad can still do pretty much everything the iPad 2 is capable of doing, and this one comes at a cheaper price with double the standard storage.

The iPad 3 may be just around the corner, but some people only need a tablet computer as a convenient email machine, or to watch an occasional movie on the train or during a long flight.

Surfing the web on this first-generation iPad is just as fun as on a netbook, perhaps even better. So why pay extra when all you need is right here inside this 1.5 pound sleek tablet computer?

There’s also a 3G-capable version for the same price, though it only comes with 16GB of storage capacity.
