    Love the iPad Air. Feels overpowered for my use - mainy use my iPad for emails, light documets, media playback and occasional photo editing. Got this when Best Buy was running a discount and can’t recommend it enough

    The new Apple 11-inch iPad Air with the M3 chip is a fantastic upgrade. The M3 chip makes everything super fast and smooth, perfect for gaming and creative tasks. The display is vibrant, and it's lightweight and easy to carry around. If you want a powerful and portable tablet, this iPad Air is a great choice!

    Bought to of these, one for me and one for my wife. They are both open box in very good condition. I don’t see any difference from brand new. The larger screen is wonderful when watching Netflix or any video online. It’s super fast and never freezes up. It’s got 128 Gigs of storage which is great. It’s got the M3 processor that is built for AI. Yet, on sale it was barely more than a $100 note Jan the base iPad with the A-16 processor. It’s a little over kill for us, but that just means it will last us for several years.

    I recently purchased the Apple 11-inch iPad Air with the M3 chip, built for Apple Intelligence, Wi-Fi, 256GB in Space Gray, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. The device is incredibly fast, responsive, and lightweight, making it perfect for both productivity and entertainment. The performance of the M3 chip is impressive, and the display quality is sharp and vibrant — exactly what you expect from Apple. In addition to the product itself, I was extremely satisfied with the store’s organization and the quality of service provided by the staff. The team was friendly, professional, and well-informed, answering all my questions and ensuring a smooth purchasing process. The store environment was well organized, which made everything easy and efficient. Overall, a great buying experience — highly recommended.

    Everything I wanted—and more! (Do t really need all that AI stuff as I am capable of reading, writing, & arithmetic, myself and prefer to manage my own thoughts!). The equipment itself is reliable, fast, easy to use and just another great Apple product. Love it.

    The Perfect Balance of Power and Portability

    I've been using the 11-inch iPad Air with the M3 chip for about three weeks now, and I'm genuinely impressed. This thing has become my go-to device for almost everything. Performance: The M3 chip is absolutely no joke. I'm running Procreate with massive canvases, editing 4K video clips in LumaFusion, and multitasking between apps without a single stutter. Apps launch instantly, and even demanding games run buttery smooth. The Apple Intelligence features are still rolling out, but the ones I've tried (like improved writing tools and photo cleanup) work incredibly well. Design: Space Gray looks sleek and professional without showing fingerprints too badly. At 11 inches, it's the sweet spot for portability – easily fits in my backpack, perfect for commuting or working at coffee shops. It's thin and light enough that I can hold it one-handed for extended reading sessions. Display: The Liquid Retina display is gorgeous. Colors pop, text is crisp, and the 60Hz refresh rate is perfectly smooth for everything I do. True, it's not the 120Hz ProMotion of the Pro models, but honestly? I don't miss it at this price point. Battery Life: Easily gets me through a full day of mixed use. I'm talking streaming, browsing, note-taking, and some creative work. Usually end the day with 20-30% left. The only minor downside: 128GB fills up faster than I expected with apps and projects, so I'd recommend going for 256GB if you're planning to store a lot of media or work files locally. Cloud storage helps, though. Bottom line: If you want iPad Pro power without the Pro price tag, this is it. Perfect for students, creative professionals, or anyone who wants a premium tablet experience. Highly recommended!

    iPad Air + iOS26 = Magic

    I’ve always wanted an iPad, but never knew which one to get. I browsed online for a bit, even lookin at places like Facebook Marketplace. Everything looked either over priced or way too used, or both. I browsed online at Best Buy and found this beauty, boasting the same price as used while being NEW and top of its line. I didn’t hesitate and I’ve been super happy with it ever since. I draw a lot with the Apple Pencil Pro and even do business work for my content. iOS 26 really brought a lot to the table too.

    My wife utilizes this for work and entertainment. She is able to complete her work task remotely and she is able to use this for her entertainment by playing games or watching Netflix or even the inevitable doom scrolling of TikTok. Was a great purchase. We went with the smaller I pad as we assumed it would be still plenty big enough and we were correct.

    Such an amazing iPad battery life is amazing. I use this to watch tv and the display is great as well as the battery life. Paired with the Apple Pencil pro this thing is a BEAST.

    Solid entry. Works well. Apple Pencil Pro integration was the only reason I went for this over the base model but the screen and speed with games etc. is noticeably tighter. Its a little more finicky on power adapters than my previous Air.

    Battery life could be better when playing videos, definitely bring backup power if traveling internationally. But great overall, I regret getting a pro for myself (this one is my kid’s), I should have purchased this one for myself too and saved the extra $$$ spent on the pro for nothing.

    Of course Apple delivered with this one. It’s the perfect middle ground of the iPad lineup you can do so many things with iPad Air. I picked the 11in since I find it more appropriate for traveling and on the go. It’s still a good size to add the keyboard and use as a laptop.

    Fast efficient, works for everything I do From games to keynote. Heavy games take up a good bit of battery but I still manage to make it on one charge a day
