Apple - iPad Air 2 Wi-Fi 64GB - Space Gray

As a former owner /user of Apple's iPad 2 (A5 Arm Processor), this upgrade is worth it for a number of reasons including 1) the new A8 processor is noticeably faster, especially on video and graphics intensive streaming websites (ie: CNBC App) 2) noticeably lighter and thinner in your hands (buy a protective Smart Cover / case (ie: from eBay, etc) 3) supports Siri (note: Apple did not support Siri on iPad2.. Probably to motivate people, like me, to upgrade ;-) 4) bonus: IOS 8.1.2 on an iPhone + iPad supports integrated SMS texting. As long as your iPad is on the same wifi network, your iPad can send and receive SMS text messages (using your iPhone also on iOS 8.1.2). Additionally, your iPad can send and receive phone calls, again, provided you have enabled this feature on your iPhone with iOS 8.1.2 and both are on the same wifi network (ie: in your home or office). 5) new finger print sensor, capable of supporting up to 5 different finger prints (ie: from the same or multiple people) is a secure time saver, especially useful when unlocking your iPad Air 2 or purchasing an app from Apple's AppStore. 6) don't even think about getting the 16GB version. Minimum usable size = 64GB 7) new 802.11ac wifi support (not available on other iPad models) enables much faster download bandwidth. Based on Comcast / Xfinity Boost wifi service + 802.11ac enabled router, I get download speeds in excess of 125Mbps and upload speeds in excess of 15Mbps supporting smooth video streaming especially when you have a household of streaming devices. Recommendation: although iOS 8.1.2 can be jailbroken, I have found it is not a good idea for a couple of reasons including 1) jailbraking the iOS often disables certain Apps (ie: streaming apps in particular, like TiVo and CNBC) from operating correctly. 2) jailbraking undermines the security that Apple has incorporated into the iOS. With such things as one-touch finger print security, iPad unlock and Apple Pay now supported, why would you want to undermine security by installing software that hasn't been verified by Apple on your brand new iPad Air 2?

I'm a commercial airline pilot and when using the Jepp FD application, the iPad 2 was too slow to type in my flight plan and switching to and from maps to approach plates. I used the Best Buy trade in program to purchase my new iPad Air 2 64gb silver edition. I love the processing power and instead of offering the traditional 32gb, it's now a 64gb option. Highly recommended if this is your first iPad tablet.

I have an ipad Air 2 and my husband was always borrowing it, so I decided to surprise him with his OWN ipad Air 2! He absolutely loves it! His Kindle is now history, as he has transferred his library to the ipad Air 2. With one device, he can access e-mail, answer phone calls, read books, surf the internet, keep up with everyone on Facebook, shop, and explore destinations for future camping trips! He loves his new iPad Air 2 - and I love having mine back!

Bought this I pad because my iPad 2 was getting old and knew what a great device the iPad is. I had my IPad 2 for about 5 years and have used it every night for that time. So knew this new Ipad was going to be a great purchase and I was not wrong..The iPad air is a great device. It is very fast and so light. The camera is great too. The price was great as well through best buy. I bought it online and it was delivered fast and free shipping. I like that it has fingerprint ID too. It was a very easy transition from my old iPad to my new one. I really like everything about the iPad Air. You can't go wrong with Apple. I would recommend this device to anyone.

The Apple IPad Air 2 features a 9.7″ Retina display, 2048-by-1536-pixel resolution at 264 ppi, A8X chip with 64 bit archetecture and M8 motion coprocessor. This device also features Touch ID made possible by the Fingerprint identity sensor built into the Home button. I am very impressed with the design and build quality of this device. This device not only meets the standards of quality that is expected from Apple products but it is also very lightweight and comfortable to hold. The picture quality of the retina display is stunning. The visuals of movies, games and media web content all look amazing. I am also very pleased with the speed of this device. Thus far all of the apps and games that I use on this device opens smoothly and run very well. I coupled this device with the ZAGGfolio Bluetooth Keyboard Case and it works absolutely wonderful. I am able to create and edit my blog posts using WordPress. I am also able to create and edit documents and presentations using Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint on my IPad.The keyboard adds more functionality. The battery life is also very good. I am able to listen to music and play a few movies and/or television shows to get me through my 8 hour work day and still have over 50% of battery life remaining. However sometimes I will leave it plugged in if I am going to be using it consistently through out the day. I am also very impressed with the sound quality of this device.The speakers sound great and the sound is loud and robust. This is a big plus when streaming movies from Netflix or watching Home Videos.The IPad Air 2 is a nice upgrade from the previous generation of IPads and I feel that the device is an exceptional value for it’s price. This device is great for students and/or the casual home user. I highly recommend this device if it’s price fits into your budget.

Apple's latest iPad is sleeker, lighter, and faster. It's a highly polished top notch quality product. I will note there is more value now in the mid tier storage category - as it's 64gb now. The new iOs adds some nice bells and whistles. See attached photo for a basic look at how CPU and graphic performance has increased.

The iPad Air 2's performance is excellent. Great quality, retina display is stunning, and sound is amazingly loud and robust. It is very light and comfortable to handle. Definitely would recommend it.

I started with an original iPad, then on to iPad 2, then iPad Air and now iPad air2. At th ag of 75, talked several girlfriend into them and then taught them how to use them. Now we keep busy playing games from different part of the country. Love the apps from excel to games. Have all my recipes in files as well as pictures and business. My previous iPad handed down to hubby of 55 year and adult children :-)
