    So cute and light weight

    Absolutely love this tablet! So lightweight. Fits in my purse and doesn’t make my purse feel heavy! Had the 12.9 pro before, and I prefer this size.

    Very lightweight!

    I absolutely love how lightweight it is. Things are a little different like the keyboard and I have two languages on mine so that makes a little difficult. And I’m having trouble transferring my Microsoft that I paid cash for to the NEW iPad so now I’m going to have to pay $6.99 a month to use it on the new iPad. I don’t understand why I didn’t transfer it transferred from my phone to the old iPad and none of the contacts transferred so I had to put them back in and that was a little time-consuming, but otherwise I really like i!
