- A: AnswerYes it comes with a charger and yes, 64gb is more than enough for anyone unless you need to edit and publish large movies and keep the movie files stored locally. Many people have not yet caught up with the idea that we all use cloud storage now. Internet is very fast. Store all of your files off-line in the cloud and just download the full versions when you need them. This is a portable tablet, not a desktop computer. You want a ton of games, movie files etc, then get a desktop. Tablets are for on the go- internet, email, watching movies/ listening to music that you stream from the web. If you really want to keep files with you, get a small solid state drive and connect it via USB. This iPad has the M1 processor so the USB connection is really fast. If you travel and need to take dozens of movies with you, you won't have a fast internet connection (are you camping in the woods?), stick those movies on your external SSD, plug it in and watch.

I SAVED SO MUCH WITH BEST BUY! THANK YOU!
I knew that when the new iPads were launched I was going to Best Buy and not apple to get this iPad. The price is just a lot better than going to an Apple store, plus they offer apple care at check out so you’re not missing out. I also used my Best Buy credit card which I HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE BUILDING THEIR CREDIT! Saved me an additional 60 dollars off the new iPad. Best Buy’s got some insanely great deals in general if you really look. And the staff at the store I go to are just always above and beyond. They’ve really helped me save a lot. And the iPad works fantastic with that m2 chip. Really has become my favorite device very quickly. It’s just smooth and simple and does every thing I need it to, so I can stay organized and feel that consistent flow without that immersion being disrupted. Solid if it’s your first iPad! Can’t get much faster except for the pro.

Great Overall Value
This is a great tablet however it’s missing some things that make me go huh? Performance wise this tablet is fantastic, I love the ability to multitask with ease. I experienced no lagging whatsoever while running procreate, YouTube, safari, and express at the same time. The display is stunning, the fullness of the colors doesn’t leave much more to desire. Although it’s not 120hz, it’s smooth and snappy. The bezels are definitely thick, however imo because of the size of the tablet I’m unbothered. Watching YouTube videos or movies on it is exceptional. Sound quality wise, and maybe my only gripe is I don’t think the speakers are very loud. They are loud enough if you’re nearby but if your listening while moving around you’ll definitely have difficulty. For example, if you’re cooking and watching a video, the sound of water boiling will drown it out unless your iPad is near it which I wouldn’t recommend. Otherwise the sound is rich enough to catch those annoying parts in the movies where you’re not sure if you should turn your volume up because the next scene might bust your eardrums. The camera is okay, not impressive but definitely does the job. Connectivity hasn’t been an issue, even when I tethered it to my iPhone 12pro, it operated with great speed and ease when I did a quick download. I love that I can work between my tablet, iPhone and Mac mini with ease. I also find much more productivity because not everything is done on my iPhone where there can be a bunch of distractions. As far as use with the Apple Pencil, it’s been stellar. I’ve never used one before so I have nothing to compare it to besides maybe the S pen. It works without lag nor is it overly sensitive. I’d recommend this to anybody who draws anything from fashion to anime, even if you’re a writer who wants the security a tablet can bring, it’s a good choice to pair with this iPad. Battery life is great, I charge it after a few days of moderate use typically. It’s a tough cookie. The back is aluminum with a nice matte finish, scratches won’t likely be an issue and fingerprints don’t show up unless your touching the apple logo on the back which is reflective. What makes me go huh? I love that Touch ID is a thing but even lower end devices have face unlock. It should be available on the iPad Air imo. Also because it’s a tablet which would typically be for reading, I don’t understand why apple has barred Nook purchases. Also, although I greatly prefer usb-c type, it’s now another separate charger that must be used from the iPhone. I will say I love that they did add the charger brick alongside the usb type c cable. Imo this is a great middle ground choice within the apple sphere however, far from a middle grounded device overall. In comparison to other brands, this iPad Air will give them a run for their money for sure. One thing apple does well is give people reliability within their products, with that said, imo the price point is fair. Aesthetically it’s beautiful, the color is
