    I’m a college student who was looking for a second screen to aid me in my workload. I stumbled on this beautiful device and fell in love. This wonderful piece of machinery has an amazingly fast processor, beautiful display, light weight, compact design. With the updated WiFi, that far surpasses even my MacBook Pro. This is one of the best things that I have purchased in a long time.

    I honestly wanted the newer mini to replace my old mini 2, as my intention was to use it only for light reading. However, this iPad has changed my entire classroom experience. Toggling back and fourth between my Mac and my iPad has never been easier, especially during study sessions and exams. The size is perfect, as it also fits in my book bag without feeling so cramped. It loads up pretty fast, but if you're looking to replace the iPad for a laptop. I personally wouldn't recommend it as I still use my laptop for the heavier workload.

    Great purchase. As always Best Buy always comes through for me. My son had broke his iPad by sitting on it. The old iPad was ready to be upgraded, so I bought this so he could get back to his routine. Shipping didn’t happen same day on a Sunday, but was more then happy getting it first thing on Monday. Thank you for everything. New iPad works amazing and battery life, speed, and storage is much better then the old one. I recommend for sure!

    iPad Air offers so much more than the base iPad. It's worth taking the step up if you can afford it. For the increase in price, you get a larger screen, stronger audio, faster networking, a much more powerful processor, better Apple Pencil support, and a superior build. That makes the iPad Air a good long-term investment.

    I’ve always been a fan of Apple Products, but I’ve never owned an iPad. Recently I have gotten into digital artistry, and Procreate, which is an app for your iPad. The iPad gen 4 works fast and smoothly, and is able to handle the apps that I use to create art. I’m very happy with this purchase. Best Buy was also the only place that had the iPad in stock. I purchased it online and got it the next morning. Shipping was very fast, and my product came untouched by damage.

    This was a replacement for a Gen 2 iPad Air I had, nothing wrong with it just wanted a newer one. The boxed edge styling is very nice and brings it into the new iPhone era. The unit is extremely fast, much better screen and the 4 speakers!! The sound from this iPad is absolutely unbelievable!!! And to me, getting rid of the home button and increasing the screen size and reducing the border around the screen is a huge plus. Very glad I bought this !!

    For those who don’t want to spend a whole lot of money on the iPad Pro this one will do. It’s great, does what its supposed to do. Now the bad parts: It doesn’t have the Center Stage camera so its the standard 7MP camera but still good for video calls and the front camera is 12MP but no flash. It has last years A14 chip so if you’re just using this for web browsing, emails, watching streaming videos or gaming this will do. I

    I buy this iPad replacing my iPad 7 gen, Just something to surf the web and social media on and play the occasional game. The speakers on this thing are INCREDIBLE. So loud and full of depth, it’s great to stream music off of. Recommend this for the regular user, and with it’s new A14 Bionic processor, this thing can handle some serious multitasking for you. If you’re could not buy an iPad Pro, I recommend you consider this as an option instead, unless video editing is something you’re planning to do constantly. This iPad It has served me well so far.

    Almost an iPad Pro

    I like this iPad because it gives enough of the full-screen experience of an iPad Pro without the extra expense. It is light and fast; Apple Arcade games all run well and there are no issues browsing the web. Color comic books pop on the screen. I do wish it had FaceID instead of TouchID, and I think the Sleep/Wake button would be better positioned on the long side since I tend to use it in landscape orientation and sometimes will press the button by accident. The button issue is remedied by holding it the opposite way up, so it’s only a minor issue, but it is something I have to keep in mind. Those issues don’t prevent me from recommending it in any way, especially since no other non-iPad tablet comes close. Overall I think this is the best value in a WiFi-only tablet currently available today.

    Bought this to use with an app called Sunday Keys (for live keyboard performance with a midi controller). I was hoping it would work in place of an iPad Pro to save me some money. And it works great! My son has a pro, and while it does offer some advantages over this model, this thing just works really well. It is fast, has great battery life, and it feels great to hold and use. Also supports the 2nd generation Apple Pencil and the Magic Keyboard, both of which I use. I would highly recommend if you are looking for something more than the base model, but you don't need all the bells and whistles of the Pro.

    Better bang for your buck 4th vs 5th gen Air

    No difference in looks between 4th and 5th generation iPad Airs. I love it for the price it’s the better buy! Although the M1 chip is in the 5th… this guys holds his own with the A14 and is still lightning fast. I have the M1 Pro 2021 and I can’t tell much difference in speed - so if you’re going wifi only get the 4th generation IMO. The 5th does support 5G though so if you’re adding it to a cell plan the 5th might be the route to go. I did fast curbside pick up and it was brought out to me faster than my McDonalds lunch was earlier that same day!

    I ordered this ipad on Saturday, had a little delay on Monday morning but by 12pm that day Best Buy emailed me saying it was shipped. I received it on Tuesday and since then I've been nothing but obsessed with the screen display, speed and the speakers. Definitely a must have if you can't afford the ipad pro or if you just like the air.
