Apple - iPad® Air with Wi-Fi + Cellular - 64GB - (AT&T) - Silver/White

This an upgrade to an iPad 2 I have been using for over 2 years. The new iPad Air is quite a bit smaller in every dimension except screen size which is still the same! The edges are a little squarer (vs the rounded, tapered edges previously) making it easier to hold. The screen resolution is phenomenal. I dropped the slider down to good only because it seems some of the colors are a hair over-saturated, and there's no real way to adjust. With that said, the screen is beautiful. Everything happens a bit faster to the naked eye with the new processors. Nice upgrade, there. Apple now includes several of its productivity Apps with new iOS 7 devices, and this helps to sweeten the value a little. Numbers, Pages, Keynote, iMovie, GarageBand, and iPhoto are the main extra apps included. Still, premiums for stepping up to more internal memory seems excessive, but nothing outside of the pricing models Apple first introduced with the original iPad. Overall, it's still an iPad, but the extra speed, smaller frame, and super sharp screen make this a terrific tablet I keep around with me most of the day!

Although not a game changer like the original iPad, which created a whole new product category, the iPad Air is simply the best iPad I have ever had. And I own or have had iPad 1, iPad 2, iPad 3, the original iPad mini, and an iPad mini with retina screen. The Air is light and thin enough that except for those times when I literally want to put an iPad in my coat pocket, I would rather have the larger screen and full color gamut of the Air than then reduced screen and more limited color gamut of the iPad mini with retina screen. Moreover, it is so much faster, lighter, and thinner than prior full-size iPads. Lastly, the bezel is thinner on the sides as well. All of which makes for about as much of a home run as possible short of the original's creating the tablet product market. Apple simply knocked it out of the park with this one. On a related note, new leather smart cases are also a hit. Good quality leather and fit like a glove that doesn't add much bulk to the form factor, a marked improvement on both counts from prior Apple cases. So much so that I haven't even thought about third party cases this time. In sum, Apple, there is in substitute (at least for tablets).

iPads are great for certain reasons. If you want something to use for word or PowerPoint or excel of stay clear of this. If you just like to browse the Internet or fb and are more of an Internet heavy user this is it. If you want it more for business, unless you spend more on apps and such, maybe not for you.

If you are a reader of a lot of business related books, journals and news articles in your spare time - iPad Air is a great device - specifically because of its 1 pound weight. It is much much easier to hold with one hand for long periods of reading. High quality construction as well - very impressively built. I don't waste my time playing video games, hence I can't comment on the speed of the device - but it is plenty powerful & fast for doing more useful things with your life such as reading good books and articles. Buy it and you will truly enjoy a marvelous device from Apple!

I was forced to get this for work and was a little excited to see what all the hype is about. it's okay, but no calculator installed? I found several in the app store, but so far all come with adds. my son's galaxy tab has an infrared sensor so you can control the t.v. with it. we use that all the time for a remote. no additional storage. the keyboard always displays capital letters, even when typing lower case. no way to type a number by holding a key down, must go to number page and then back to letters to resume typing. since Samsung copied apple I, expected the ipad to have more features, especially since it is so much more expensive. it is okay, but not sure why it is so popular.

I had to replace my 4th Gen iPad because it died. Two years old and it just died. This is not typical of iPads and I tried not to hold this failure against them all. I found it difficult to not have an iPad, so I purchased an iPad Air (didn't have the money for an Air 2 because I had just bought one for my husband for Christmas). I am very happy with my iPad Air. It is quick, works well and is smaller than my 4th Gen. I was disappointed that the Air didn't fit my old Kensington Keyboard Cover, but was able to find one on Amazon for a reasonable price. I also bought Apple Care. It added quite a bit to the price, but my experience with the 4th Gen convinced me it is worth the price.

The iPad Air is a beautiful device oozing with billiant capabilities and innovative new dimensions in terms of apps, access to information, interface with people we care about, or just fun and amusing stuff. Hopefully it will function as effectively, efficiently and as quickly for many years to come as it now does. However I fear within only a few years that later versions will leave our model in the dust just when we have it running at maximum utility, to then force us to upgrade sooner than we will want to-- and because by then we will have become addicts to our device. (I guess that's the price of living during this explosion era of High Tech innovation & development. History books someday will attest...)

Ipad Air is a fantastic tool to perform most of the functions of a laptop, in an easy to carry handheld device. Great graphics, endless selection of applications from games to photographic to business to entertainment. Can set up easily to use anywhere as small TV with my home cable info, can be used to operate home systems from one place. Easy to use, performs multiple functions at once, you can multi-task to your heart's content. I use the camera rarely, but the two cameras are great if you need them. Screen size allows easy photo editing that presents problems in a phone screen. Can be easily synched to include all your phone apps, your contacts, emails,bookmarks, photos and music lists.
