    Be wary of storage

    I purchased this iPad exclusively for grad school notetaking, and with the additional purchase of the Apple Pencil Gen 2, this has been a very straight-forward and efficient tool for it. I will say that the storage runs out quicker than I would have thought due to the amount of storage allocated to "system data" and "iPad OS" (28 GB altogether at the time of this review). While I really only use it for notes and studying, buying a USB-C drive to transfer old notes to has worked well enough. Overall, the UI and UX is what you would expect from apple - very smooth and efficient. If you are intending to have this be your do-it-all machine as a student, definitely opt for more storage/maybe the pro model. If it is complimenting a laptop, this device should be great for that

    These got discounted when the new iPads came out this year and I had a pretty good trade in for my old seventh generation iPad. I almost didn’t do the trade-in and upgrade, but I am so happy that I did the speed, responsiveness, and better screen and make it all worth it. Also, this feels much better to hold for longer period of time.

    The tablet is very fast and responsive. I do find it weighs significantly more than my previous iPad. The screen is quite nice.

    Absolutely love my new 5th gen iPad Air. I already had a 3rd gen which has been rock solid but was usually being used by my kids, so I decided to splurge on a new one. The M1 chip makes using this iPad super quick. I was able to import data and apps from my previous iPad. The screen is bright and sharp.

    This iPad is a great balance of price and performance. Not expensive but impressive performance and can do nearly 99% of daily computer non professional activities and sometimes better than a traditional computer. Apple knocked this one out of the park. Got this for someone older and they love it and has not had a hard time transitioning from laptop to the iPad. Battery life is stellar just like my older model and maybe better and hear voice of new finishes and not just the gray or silver.

    the ipad needed for work will pale in comparison to its light weight and its robust performance. Apple Repair forces you to buy a whole new on if it cracks on the screen, and stop forgetting your icloud info, or else its a brick. And for the love of Ipads, always keep your devices on Low Power Mode.

    The iPad Air has always been the epitome of versatility and performance in Apple's tablet lineup, and the new iteration takes this reputation to an entirely new level. With its sleek design, new cutting-edge features, and immense power, the new iPad Air sets a new standard for what a tablet can achieve. As a student I use the ipad with the apple pencil and I like its responsiveness and precision and make it enjoyable to use for note-taking, sketching, or any creative drawings.

    Such a great purchase! I bought this to use primarily for school and work, and it’s a great organizational tool. Apple continues to make great products. It runs games smoothly as well, it has multi-use characteristics that a laptops has. I’m impressed by the quality of the graphics too. Lastly, the aesthetic of the large screen and color-output is very admirable. It’s a purchase worth making if you want an extra piece of technology to work on things, do art, or play games.

    I bought this iPad to replace and older one that had an issue with the battery. It would not hold a charge. When I went in this one was on sale for $100.00 off. Great buy. Since I got it I have used for three days without having to charge it. It is much faster than the old iPad. I really like it. When I first fired it up it downloaded all my information from the old iPad automatically. That was great!! All my apps and information transferred to my new iPad!! I am really enjoying this iPad. Great purchase.

    8.7/10

    Pretty good! Very similar to the Pro 11” in almost every way… Battery, however, is not. The battery does drain when no apps are open and the iPad is idle. This is something I noticed with the Pro. I could go days without touching it and the battery would sit at the same percentage. For the Air, the screen is nearly the same. You will notice a significant difference when using screen to draw. This feels hollow unlike the Pro, which gives off a full and sturdy feeling. Now, the processor is what caused me to downgrade from the Pro to the Air. M1 functions extremely well. Type-C is strictly for charging. The camera is similar to the base model of iPhones. I give this a 8.7/10.
