    Overall very happy with this purchase! Works perfectly and I got it for a great price. I’m using it for my graduate program and it’s so convenient to take with me to class and pull out to reference an article. The iPad holds a charge for a long time and I can easily tether it to my phone via hotspot just from the iPad. I literally use this every day

    I am absolutely thrilled with my Apple 10.2-Inch iPad (9th Generation) with Wi-Fi in Silver! This device has truly exceeded my expectations in every aspect, especially when it comes to productivity and note-taking. First and foremost, the iPad's seamless integration with Office365 has been a game-changer for my work routine. Whether I'm drafting documents, creating spreadsheets, or preparing presentations, having access to the full suite of Office apps on this sleek device has made my workflow incredibly efficient. The responsive touchscreen and intuitive interface make tasks feel effortless, allowing me to focus more on the content rather than wrestling with technology. One of the standout features for me is the versatility of the iPad when it comes to note-taking. Whether I'm in a meeting, lecture, or brainstorming session, the iPad's Apple Pencil compatibility combined with its spacious 10.2-inch screen provides the perfect canvas for jotting down ideas, sketching diagrams, or annotating documents with precision. The palm rejection technology ensures a natural writing experience without any frustrating interruptions. Moreover, the 64GB storage capacity ensures that I have more than enough space to store my documents, presentations, notes, and multimedia files without worrying about running out of storage. The iPad's seamless synchronization with iCloud also ensures that my files are securely backed up and accessible across all my Apple devices, adding an extra layer of convenience to my work life. In addition to its exceptional performance for work-related tasks, the iPad is also a joy to use for entertainment and leisure activities. Whether I'm streaming movies, browsing the web, or playing games, the vibrant Retina display and powerful A13 Bionic chip deliver a stunning visual experience that never fails to impress. Overall, I cannot recommend the Apple 10.2-Inch iPad (9th Generation) enough for anyone in need of a reliable, versatile, and powerful device for work and beyond. Its seamless integration with Office365, impeccable note-taking capabilities, ample storage, and stunning performance make it a must-have tool for professionals and students alike.

    My iPad 9th experience

    Why did I buy this iPad? - I’m a student, and I need a device for study and entertainment. - I’m managing a social media page for an organization so I can use the iPad to do that. Advantages: - For study and work + This iPad is really fast and reliable + Taking notes and outlining ideas is very convenient. + With Apple Pencil and Logitech combo touch, this iPad is more and more useful. - For entertainment and other purposes + The display is clear and bright. + Speakers are good. + The very light weight that helps I can hold for a long time without any difficulty. + Touch ID is fast and reliable. + Fast charging and it may take around 1 hour not too long. - Disadvantages + Display color is a little bland compared to the iPad with my iPhone and my Macbook. This point has not affected my experience but if you have any works with color, I think you should consider other models. + With the keyboard and cover it will be a little heavier. + The new iPad OS isn’t stable right now, Safari sometimes crashes. + The trackpad of the Logitech cover sometimes freezes, I think it is because of the new OS but I’m not sure. + The non-laminated display is not beautiful like the Mini, Air, or Pro models. To be honest, I can’t realize if they are not side by side but I want to mention it because it may help you to make your decision. Summary With $250.00 this iPad has a good price/performance Thank you for reading my iPad 9th experience :)

    One evening I saw on Best Buy’s website, an I-pad gen 9 that I’ve been shopping for. The price was better than Target’s or Walmarts for the same item . In the morning I went to the Best Buy store located in Jensen Beach .I went to the department withe iPads, there a female employee greeted me and offered her assistance.She was very knowledgeable and friendly ., I also inquired to her about buying a keyboard for the iPad., Thanks to her help, I decided to purchase both, the Apple iPad and the Zagg keyboard. Once I got home I saw the employee was right, setting up the iPad was easy. I like the fact that it has a bright screen and comes with apps pre installed that I’d be using . Two days later my Zagg keyboard was delivered,just as she told me it would be, again an easy setup. I’m very happy with both purchases . When you invest hard earned money into a product it’s a very satisfying feeling knowing your money was well spent, Thank you Best Buy, with out your friendly and smart employee I might not of made the two purchases. Best Buy will continue to have my business for all my electronic needs in the future.

    Worth every penny! I bought this with the intentions of having another piece of technology. But it is really a work of art. You can use it for movies, taking notes, editing, work, almost anything on a perfect sized screen. It’s fast, it stays charges for days, and can fit into a lot of places. The performance is excellent. Worth every penny.

    Bought this for school and works incredibly well for the price. It’s durable, easy to work with, and battery life lasts atleast 1-2 days despite working hours with it. I wanted to get the 9th gen because of the home button as well as the price point. If your looking to get one for school, this one works good enough!

    I love my Ipad. Ive had it for months and I use it for everything! Routines, recepies, school work, reading, etc … I even use it to find my phone when I lose it. I drew a beautiful portrait for my husband and it was all thanks to this because I wouldn’t have been able to myself on paper. Has great life battery and I love that I receive my calls on here too. 12/10

    The iPad was on sale, which is perfect for my financial budget. The iPad is lightweight and small enough to fit in a tote bag for university. It is compatible with the Apple Pencil or other Bluetooth pencils so I can write on the iPad itself. I can also type on the iPad by connecting a Bluetooth keyboard and the iPad acts as a monitor that is big enough for my eyes and small enough for my bag.

    sleek/light great product for my daughter to advance with her technology skills and it's very easy to use and with the accessories like the keyboard or stylus pen make the ipad even more fun for myself to use. its great for movies, games, learning applications for my growing five year old, doing class related college work or just for music. I wish it could somehow charge via bluetooth or charging dock make it easier for my child to charge for later use. i am very pleased with the power use time and storage space and also the ability to make calls via wifi, my child really likes this feature the most this is a great product i am glad to have purchased one now, should have gotten this instead of a tablet and i am very happy with the overall functionality its like having a really big iphone minus the data and phone usage
