      The Best Apple Has To Offer

      I needed something that could be used both for working backup and play games when not working. Accessories were very easy to set up and I haven't had any glitches at all. By far one of my better purchases! Very clear graphics and even though 13", it is not too big or bulky. The battery life is great and I am really enjoying the difference from my limited tablet I was trying to use. PS My cat plays his games on it too!

      Love It!

      I love my iPad, I haven’t had one in years. Adding the keyboard gave it the perfect touch. It’s very easy to travel with too!
