Had an iPad2. This iPad Air is so much nicer. It is thinner, lighter, and overall size is smaller even though screen size is same. Fast with tons of memory, this was a huge upgrade from what I had for about what I paid for the iPad2 when new. Screen resolution is fantastic, speakers are improved. A fantastic tablet.

I've went through an iPad 3 64gb wifi, iPad 4 128gb Wifi/Cellular, and now an iPad Air 128gb Wifi/Cellular. The Air 2's have a speaker flaw, wifi connectivity issue, and touch sensibility issue. Even though the Air 2 is thinner, faster, TouchID, 2GB ram, and Apple Pay, the Air 1 has a larger battery and its' cheaper without the speaker and screen issues. If you don't need the latest and the greatest, this tablet should last you for quite a while. Let's see what the Air 3 brings, otherwise, Air 2's are a poor purchase in my opinion.

Absolutely love this iPad. I had the very first model of iPad and enjoyed it and it still works perfectly but does not have a camera. I am so pleased with the size and easy of operation of this model. I am traveling overseas and the pictures I'm taking look professional.

I have 3rd and 4th generation iPads and this one is significantly lighter. It doesn't feel like a brick in my purse. I needed more space for books and apps, so I got the 128 GB version. However, if you aren't carrying it around, you won't notice much difference from the earlier 2 versions of iPad. Not worth the upgrade unless you need the lighter weight and / or a higher capacity model.

Bought this for just over $500. 128K memory, chip is fast even though it is not the new A8 in the air2, you cannot beat this price. Even comes with cellular if you want to hook it up. Why pay over $800 for Air2 when you can have this one for $500.
