Great clarity & speed. Saves time & effort while driving around the country delivering load. Only drawback is the touch button. Won’t read my fingers.

Awesome Tablet!!
The 13-inch iPad Air with the M2 chip is simply incredible! Even though I'm not typically an Apple consumer, I have to say this iPad is the only Apple device I would consider for a tablet—and it totally delivers. The performance is outstanding; it's fast, responsive, and handles everything I throw at it with ease, from graphic design apps to gaming. The 256GB of storage is perfect for my needs, giving me plenty of space for all my files and media. The Wi-Fi + Cellular option keeps me connected wherever I go, and having it unlocked is a great feature for flexibility with carriers. The screen is vibrant and sharp, and in Space Gray, it looks sleek and professional. Apple has really outdone themselves with this one—perfect for anyone looking for a powerful, portable device!

Good value
Good, but not an iPadPro. When we wanted to replace our two-year old iPadPros and found out that we would also have to replace our Apple Keyboards, which would not work with the new iPadPro. And the new keyboard was going to cost an additional $350, we decided to go with the iPad Air, as the keyboard for the last generation of the iPadPro fit with the iPadAir. It is definitely a trade down, but not by much - the biggest difference being there is no facial recognition in the biometrics. Otherwise, the iPad Air is excellent and at a substantially lower price tag.
