Customer Ratings & Reviews

I picked this up from my local Best Buy a few weeks ago to replace an older base-model iPad that was starting to chug, and I have some mixed thoughts. Don't get me wrong, the hardware is absolutely beautiful, but there is a major catch depending on what you plan to use it for. The Pros The Screen is Unreal: The Tandem OLED display is the real deal. If you watch a lot of movies at night or edit photos, the contrast is perfect. The blacks are completely ink-black, and it gets incredibly bright. Insanely Thin and Light: It feels lighter than my old iPad even though it's packed with a laptop-grade chip. It's so thin it almost feels fragile, but the aluminum frame feels solid in the hand. M5 Speed & Multitasking: The new M5 chip with the base RAM upgrade makes everything instant. Web pages load before you finish tapping, and apps never crash or reload in the background when you're jumping around. Landscape Camera: They finally put the front camera on the long side. If you do Zoom or FaceTime calls while using a keyboard case, you finally look like you're looking at the person instead of staring off into space. The Cons Total Overkill for Casual Use: If you just want to watch YouTube, check email, stream Netflix, and read news articles, save your money and buy the iPad Air. The M5 chip is a nuclear reactor powering a flashlight if you aren't doing heavy lifting like 3D rendering or video editing. The Accessories Cost a Fortune: To really get the most out of this, you almost have to buy the Apple Pencil Pro or a keyboard case, which adds hundreds to the final price tag at checkout. Software Limitations: iPadOS 26 is smooth, but it still won't let this act like a true laptop. You can't easily run desktop programming environments or complex multi-window workflows like you can on a MacBook. My Final Verdict If you are a digital artist, photographer, or a mobile professional who lives inside creative apps, this is easily a 5-star device and the best tablet on the market. It handles high-intensity graphics tasks without even breaking a sweat. However, if you're an average user looking for a casual media machine or a total laptop replacement, the price premium is hard to justify. I'm keeping mine because I love the OLED screen for movie streaming and travel, but for most people, the M4 iPad Air is a much smarter hit to the wallet. Would I recommend this to a friend? Yes, but only if they have the budget and a specific workflow for it.

I recently underwent surgery and needed something to pass the time. This iPad has not left my side the past couple weeks. I was debating if it was worth it to spend the extra hundreds on something new or just get an older model but TRUST ME it was worth it. I use it to make digital art, watch videos, and manage phone calls. The best part - it can all be done simultaneously and the battery holds a charge for a notably large amount of time. I love this product. It is sleek, runs well, and is able to accommodate all of my post surgical digital needs!

I bought the 11 inch iPad and I am really happy with it. I use it for most of my work now, and it handles everything smoothly without slowing down. The size is just right. It's big enough to work comfortably but still light and easy to carry around. The best part for me is painting and design work. I do a lot of drawing and new design ideas on it, and it feels very easy and natural. The screen is bright and the colors look beautiful, so my artwork looks exactly how I want it to. The battery lasts a good amount of time, so I don't have to keep charging it during the day. Overall, it's a very nice iPad, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants one device for both work and creative projects.

This is the first Vietname made or Vietnam assembled iPad I bought after about 7 years of getting my iPad Mini in Best Buy. The iPad Air runs very fast, and very smooth. It is great for remote work and online surfing. I bought this iPad Air M4 11 inch tablet because my older iPad Mini is aging, slow, freeze on loading apps. It comes in the right time, right deal. I would recommend a buyer getting a dual fold keyboard with trackpad and a dynamic folio case instead of a keyboard case if you use for remote work.

I’ve been using this iPad Air for a little while now and I’m really happy with it. I mainly use this for studying and watching videos. It’s very fast, lightweight, and easy to carry around. The screen looks great and everything feels smooth, whether I’m browsing, watching videos, taking notes, or working on documents. The battery has also been good for my everyday use. I got the 128GB Space Gray version and I really like how simple and premium it looks. It’s powerful without feeling bulky, which is exactly what I wanted from an iPad. Overall, I’m very satisfied with my purchase and would definitely recommend it.

She really wanted a pink iPad but was very happy when she saw this color in store, Build is amazing, very sturdy, Screen is beautiful and she carries it around everywhere to do online Classes and editing, battery lasts very long

You can always trust Apple's quality. It’s fast, and heat dissipation is decent—it just gets slightly warm. I don't use many of the advanced features, so I can't list a lot of specific pros, but in a word: it's good.

Was able to trade in my old ipad super easily in store at my local best buy and they gave me more for it than apple was offering. Only took like 10 minutes to trade in and then I was able to immediately use my gift card to purchase my new ipad. Love that they offer financing options as well! Honestly, super pleased with the service and product overall!

The chip is really top notch for the price. 11” is perfect for me and it runs so smoothly. If you are looking for an ipad without going over the budget but still want the best performance, buy this product. The battery life is surprisingly good too. Definitely recommend!!!

I really love this product! It looks exactly like the pictures, the quality is great, and it works really well. I’m very happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend it to others

Great iPad so far! Works really fast and the Apple Pencil pairs perfectly with it!

Gets work done, comes really handy when you need, screen displays nice colors which make watching movies and videos on it catchy.
