Easy to use
I love my new iPad! I enjoy the size of the screen and its ease of use. It’s easier to travel with this rather than my laptop. I love that they make an adapter for the iPads so I can review my photos while on vacation. I would definitely recommend this and buy one again.

Best Deal on My iPad Air 11” – Couldn’t Be Happier
I bought the iPad Air 11” 256 GB from Best Buy and couldn’t be happier! I got it for a better price than anywhere else, and the whole process was quick and easy. The iPad itself is super fast, lightweight, and perfect for work for school and play. Highly recommend both the product and Best Buy’s deal!
