Apple finally made a 12.9 Air, and it is awesome!
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.

Wonderful Tablet
The Ipad Air 13" is just the right size for using with a stylus pen (paired with Bluetooth) and drawing/painting with Procreate. It works well with my Mac Air for bookkeeping applications. I like watching movies on it and YouTube. It works pretty well with Microsoft Office 365 suite. I use it with my iphone too. Very handy. I have a Logi keyboard cover and I applied a paperlike screen protector. I like the paperlike protector, but if I had to do it over I would spend more money and get the Ipad keyboard/cover instead of the Logi one. The Logi cover is a bit more difficult to keep upright. Wants to fall over if not just right. However, the keyboard and launchpad work fine on it work fine with the tablet. I like the side button on the upper left side that lets you use as a fingerprint sensor. This tablet works very fast. The only complaint I have is that it seems to use up the battery fast. There are ways to slow it down but I haven't found them all yet, evidently.
