Customer Ratings & Reviews

I got the purple iPad Air M3, and honestly, I love it. The color is super nice — not too bright, but still stands out, and it feels really light to carry around. It runs super smooth. Apps open right away, switching between things is fast, and writing with the Apple Pencil feels natural with almost no lag. Even when I have notes, Safari, and music open at the same time, it doesn’t slow down. For studying, it’s been a game changer. Taking notes in GoodNotes or highlighting PDFs is easy, and the screen makes everything look sharp and clear. It’s also great for reading textbooks or pulling up multiple tabs while doing homework. I can even use it with a keyboard and it feels like a mini laptop. The battery lasts pretty much all day for schoolwork, and charging is quick when I need it. Sometimes it gets a little warm if I’m using heavy apps, but it’s not a big deal. The only downsides are that it’s not a super high refresh screen (so scrolling isn’t as smooth as the iPad Pro), and accessories like the keyboard and Apple Pencil cost extra. But overall, for school and everyday use, it’s been awesome.

Bought the product for a good deal, honestly I’m not even disappointed that I didn’t get the pro version this has been a great product and provides great quality. It’s been great to have another device for cell service and it allows me to multitask as you would be able to on a computer, I bought the pencil to go with it, but honestly even without that this device has allowed me to do all the work I need on it. Honestly I’ve been loving my new iPad and if you’re considering on getting one this might be just for you. I will admit it probably doesn’t have the same quality as the pro from what I’ve read on reviews but a lot of the downsides can be easily made up for with a good charger given I’ve been overusing it in terms of what it can handle for processing it does amazing. Battery does tend to run hot when I use pro create on a 8000 pixel by 8000 pixel plane but honestly I think any device at that point for processing would be working its butt off. 10/10 i definitely recommend this product for others to use. AND ITS CHEAP. Excuse the photo for the case and pencil being present.

This is a great sized iPad! This iPad with the cellular function is great for home or travel and very responsive with the M3 chip. Very happy with the resolution of the screen and the 256gb of storage is more than enough for my daily needs.

Obviously if your budget allows you buy an iPad Pro, go for it. But, this one is super nice. Image never lag or fails, which means good RAM memory allocation. I work with engineering softwares using 13in 2024 Pro version and airplane maintenance data(Airbus and Boeing) with the 2022 basic entry level ipad, I know why I choose this iPad Air M3 with the cellular option. It our personal device and it is amazing. I paired with the Pencil Pro and the ZUGU case from Amazon(best option, believe me). The cellular version is a 10% pricier but worth the investment if you are always on the go and your plan is unlimited. But, most would prefer Wi-Fi paired with the phone, and, thats totally fine, you won't regret. Recommended device!

I ordered the grey/purple iPad to use mainly for storing and making videos for my son’s lacrosse reels for college recruiting. So far, it’s been amazing to work with. It’s fast, and lasts a long time between charges.

The device is capable of running LLMs locally that help in coding and code review. Intelligently designed iPad for work and learning. Overall productivity maximizing product from Apple. Thank you BestBuy

Perfect investment, fast,capable, and with a look suitable for both work and study

I was a little nervous about it being an open box, but it was in perfect condition!

I'm pleased with this tablet. I went back and forth on options, but this one seemed to check all the boxes for me. The colors are bright and the size is correct.

We bought this iPad Air to replace my wife’s very aging 8-year old iPad & got so many upgrades to bring on a WHOLE NEW WORLD of technology that we never knew existed!!! Best choice we ever made @ 77 years old! So much so, we are now going to upgrade mine to the same wonderful reality of Apple ingenuity! We thank you!

I really love my iPad , I use it for coloring playing games and journaling

Love using this to take notes for school. Makes my life so much easier!

Love my new iPad Air!! Apple knows how to deliver!

My purchase of the Apple iPad Air M3 256GB Cellular from Best Buy was seamless, with efficient online ordering and quick in-store pickup. The M3 chip delivers a significant performance boost, handling demanding tasks with ease, and the Liquid Retina display is vibrant and sharp, perfect for multimedia consumption. Cellular connectivity is reliable, ensuring constant connection on the go. The iPad Air's slim, lightweight design is a major plus, making it highly portable. The 256GB storage capacity is ample for my needs, and the camera system provides clear images and video. Battery life is excellent, easily lasting a full day of use. iPadOS is intuitive, and the optional Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard enhance productivity. While the price is premium, the iPad Air M3's performance and features justify the investment. It's a powerful and versatile tablet suitable for students, professionals, and casual users alike. I highly recommend it for anyone seeking a top-tier tablet experience.

I’ve been using the iPad Air for a few months now, and it has completely exceeded my expectations. The design is incredibly sleek and lightweight, making it easy to carry anywhere — perfect for both work and entertainment. The display is vibrant and crisp, with colors that truly pop, whether I’m editing photos, watching movies, or reading. Performance-wise, it’s a beast. Apps load instantly, multitasking is smooth, and the battery easily lasts me a full day of heavy use. Paired with the Apple Pencil, it’s also an amazing tool for note-taking and drawing. What I love most is that it delivers the power and premium feel of the iPad Pro, but at a more affordable price. It’s hands down the best investment I’ve made in tech this year. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for versatility, speed, and style in one device!

I plan to use this to download maps for when I am offline and still need GPS. I got the 2567GB capacity. I also got the smaller size to read books on. It's fast and easy to lug around. The M3 chip isthe sweet spot for me re: price. I'm happy I bought it. I bought my AppleCare through Apple though b/c you get a little break if you have AppleCare on 3 products.

I got this iPad for college, and it really is almost an overkill for me. Good screen, good processing, decent battery life, and most importantly, good price, and because of that, I think this is a more reasonable purchase compared to the m4 iPad Air.

I purchased an iPad (A16) earlier and liked it so much I decided to get the iPad Air M3 (wifi). I returned the iPad Air M3(wifi) because I wanted the cellular option since I travel and don't want to worry about carrying around a wifi-hotspot or tethering to my phone. It works great! It is fast and allows me to access the internet when wifi is not available. The cellular option also allows me to use it as a stand-alone navigation device. Do I use this option every day - no. You probably won't use the cellular option every day, but will use it more than you think. I find it worth the extra $$ to have that extra peace of mind while traveling and never worrying about not having wi-fi *as long and cell coverage is available*.

The iPad Air M3 is fast, lightweight, and perfect for everyday use, school, and creative work. The display looks great, battery life lasts all day, and the M3 chip handles multitasking with ease. A little pricey with accessories, but overall an excellent tablet and definitely worth the upgrade.

I upgraded from an older ipad and it works great. Sits lightweight and stays charged longer than my old one.
