Customer Ratings & Reviews

Just to be fair I returned this unit for a different color. However the iPad air 5th gen is probably the best iPad you can get for the cost. Sure the iPad Pro has a few really nice features like Pro-Motion, brighter screen, and quad speakers but I use my iPad as a consumption device to watch streaming content, to play a few simple games, web browsing, etc. So spending over $800 with tax just to have some features seems a bit overkill. With the iPad air you get a paltry 64gb ssd but you also get the M1 with 8gb ram which means this iPad is supercharged. The liquid retina screen is really nice and the stereo speakers get loud enough and have a good amount of bass. Honestly the only downside is the lack of 128gb ssd storage option. I think this is the best value as you can purchase for well under the retail price and considering other decent tablets there really isn't any competition. Specially with the M1 chip there is nothing that is close in terms of performance. The new M2 iPad Pro would also be an excellent option for those who are artists or use their iPad as a primary computing device. For me the iPad air offers the best value and delivers a fantastic level of performance for the cost. I would like quad speakers and promotion but again the stereo speakers are loud enough and the lack of Pro-Motion isn't a deal breaker but more of a nice to have. Considering the new 10th gen iPad and this iPad air I still feel the air is the better value because of the laminated screen, pencil 2 support and m1 processor with 8gb ram.

My wife wanted to get back into art and bought this iPad lol I use pro create. We also got a second generation pencil for her to draw, we’re very happy with both. The iPad is small but the perfect size for her to draw and create her art. Love that it works so well with the software she uses and the Apple Pencil has been key as well. This is mainly what she uses the iPad for and was the reason why she bought one.

Great purchase. It is lightweight, easy to use and the screen size is perfect!

It's pretty good. Battery life is good. Great display. It's honestly perfect for productivity for school. A little pricey, but over the payment options, it's affordable. Only thing is I wish apple would stop playing like they're better than everyone else and let me connect it to my PC and my Galaxy phone.

works as expected. fast, light and powerful. great price!

I have had this model myself since it was released. I love this model so much I ended up buying this one for my girlfriend. And after that my best friend got one too for herself. It does everything you need it to do and is amazing with a keyboard case. I got it for my girlfriend primarily for school stuff due to the ease of taking notes on here. Though she has found many uses for it.

Perfect for what I needed it for. Fits perfect in my bag, battery life is good, and just overall very convenient.

Got this to take notes in class and it is perfect. Made me an ipad kid.

Great ipad for every day use. Light and powerful, it was exactly what i needed

The brand new iPad Air is very good with unique features and impeccable design with a feather-like weight that gives an immersive experience when using it. Worth every dollar spent!

This iPad is perfect for my needs - mostly email, games, texts, and internet news and sites. It's quick, lightweight, and the display is excellent.

Perfect size; able to take with you easily yet large enough for work or videos. Very responsive and clear graphics.

Product is good. It looks stylish and comfortable to use.

i love ipad, lightweight, i use it for school, homework and it’s just a great piece of technology

its good. does what it needs to do. Chip is way stronger than it needs to be which is great. It's very comfortable to hold (more comfortable than the Samsung tablet S8 or S9 but that could be because I had a case that held the S-pen). I only gave it 3/5 stars because the Samsung S8 writes better, comes with the pen, multitasks better when split screen, has a way better display (AMOLED 120Hz vs iPad 60Hz), upgradable storage and cheaper. BUT I kept the iPad and switch all my devices over to apple this past week just because the apple ecosystem is a bit more intuitive and integrates quicker and more seamlessly than the Samsung products did. But I digress, the Apple Pencil had to be purchased separately, the display is very dated but the chip is strong so I guess I prefer that over the display.

Wanted a bigger screen from my mini. This did not disappoint. Works smoothly and screen is crystal clear.

Does exactly what it should, no issues - have had it for two years now. Mostly use to watch videos, and read emails.

Works so well and it is great for working on the go!

Best purchase I’ve ever made. I can draw on it and also watch YouTube. Durable, good screen, good battery

Greater speed that my old standard iPad. Everything seems much smoother. Like having a notebook computer in a different package.
