I’ve been using the iPad Pro 12.9 for a whole year, and honestly, I can’t imagine my musical life without it anymore. As a professional violinist, I use it every day — for reading sheet music, taking notes during rehearsals, recording practice sessions, and even composing ideas on the go. The large screen is perfect for reading scores — no more flipping paper pages in the middle of a performance! I also love how the Apple Pencil glides smoothly on the screen. It feels natural, like writing with a real pen, and I can quickly mark bowings, fingerings, or reminders right on the music. Performance-wise, it’s still incredibly fast and responsive. Whether I’m using music apps, video calling my students, or editing videos from concerts — it handles everything like a pro. The battery easily lasts through a long rehearsal day. After a year, I can say this: the iPad Pro 12.9 isn’t just a gadget — it’s my creative partner. It replaced my folders, notebooks, even parts of my laptop. It comes with me to every rehearsal, lesson, and performance. Pros: – Stunning screen, ideal for musicians and creatives – Fast, smooth performance — even with heavy apps – Apple Pencil support is a game changer – Slim, elegant, and reliable Cons: – Expensive, especially with accessories – Not everyone needs this much power — but if you do, it’s worth it If you’re a musician or a creative person who’s always on the move — this iPad will feel like it was made just for you.

I’ve had my iPad Air since February, and let me tell you—it’s been the quiet MVP of my everyday life. Lightweight but mighty, it handles everything from emails and FaceTime to digital sketching and Netflix binges like a pro. The screen is crisp, the performance is smooth, and the battery life lasts long enough to make me forget where the charger even is. Paired it with the Apple Pencil, and suddenly I'm Picasso with a playlist. If you're on the fence—get off. This iPad Air flies.

I recently bought a macbook air for the first time ever, and I fell in love. I immediately looked into buying an ipad. This device is more portable than my macbook, but offers the same features that I love so much. The ability to take notes in a rush on the ipad, then see them on my laptop later that day is amazing. It's pretty easy to use, and runs so smoothly. And the screen is absolutely amazing. 100% recommend.

Went from the M2 12.9 iPad Pro to this one because my Apple Care ran out on the Pro, and I am so glad they finally made the Air in a 12.9" size, besides the touch button to sign on (instead of the Pro's face ID it uses), it is awesome! I just like a bigger screen, and that is the ONLY reason I spent the money on the Pro in the 1st place; the 12.9 Air is the one to get, save your money, and get the Air, you won't be sorry.

This IPad is an update for me from a 3rd generation IPad Pro. It is slightly larger than the previous and the screen is very crisp. I got the keyboard as well, which has a mousepad that I did not previously have. The mousepad seems redundant when the screen is touch sensitive. Overall very pleased with the upgrade. [The main reason for the upgrade was that the letters on the keys were wearing away and I could not get a new keyboard for that model, at least at Best Buy].
