    M1 chip is a major step up.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The iPad Air with the M1 is a major upgrade from my aging 6th Gen iPad. It’s fast, the screen is bigger, easier to use with the fingerprint security. Now with the 2nd Gen pencil, the charging is magnetic and integrated. I am a little annoyed about having to buy a new pencil, but now that it’s done, I appreciate it. It feels like I will have this iPad for at least five to six years without ever considering a new one.

    Best iPad!

    Easy to set up and transfer data from my old iPad. Thought I would have a problem transition from an iPad with a home button to one without, but it is actually easier than with the home button! Also the screen resolution and Retina display is awesome! Movies are a joy to watch on and the sound is amazing. It also feels lighter than my last iPad Air. I love my new iPad Air!

    Purchased this during Memorial Day Would definitely recommend. Great color and quality for watching shows or movies on. Super lightweight. Great for anyone who uses their iPad for entertainment, would recommend the iPad Pro if you want to use it for work, design, video editing, etc. Would recommend

    I have to say this is a great purchase. It’s not too big. It’s definitely not too small. It runs smoothly, the brightness and screen are full of vibrancy. And, it can easily perform just as many other features as the Pro but without breaking the bank. Please, get it. You won’t regret it

    Have not gotten a new IPad in years and decided it was time to upgrade. Really enjoying the features and the ease of use of this iPad. I think the iPad Air generation five is a good price for what it is. I am looking forward to continued enjoyment from its use.

    A marvel among giantss

    It is the ultimate compromise between screen size and powerful functionality when it comes to tablet computers. The M1 chip provides the power to run the latest apps requiring heavy processing capability and the tablet size means I can it to work and use it anywhere. The footprint is perfect for efficiency of use.

    First time owning an Apple product. Wanted to replace old desktop but didn’t want another laptop. This fit the bill perfectly with a keyboard accessory. Very impressed. Easy to setup, fast, very portable. A lot more cost effective too. Definitely recommend.

    LOVE IT!! <3

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    LOVE IT!!! Got it for college and even though I haven’t been able to use it for school yet, it’s been great. Perfect responsiveness for games, and even though it doesn’t have the super fast 120hz like the pro and my phone, it still feels quick and like a new device. HIGHLY recommend getting the pencil, it really just completes the whole thing and makes the ipad that much more useful, and you’re definitely gonna need the pencil if you’re using this for school. Overall it’s an awesome device and the perfect in between device of the ipad and the ipad pro. Only complaint is that the battery life is quite what i thought it would be, so i would definitely carry a charger and/or portable charger with you.

    “What color would you like?”

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    My old iPad was so old I couldn’t update it anymore, and it was painfully slow, so I bought a new 10.9-inch iPad Air. The display is awesome, and it’s so easy to use that I even take it to meetings that I lead and classes that I teach. Then my wife started having similar issues with her iPad, so one day I asked her, “What color would you like your new iPad to be?” and bought her the same model that I have been using.

    Used this to replace a mini, and to augment my 12.9 pro. Excellent for reading, light browsing, and web forum reading. Speed is excellent, i need to make sure what apps i have on it to give me a little better battery life, but all in all, an outstanding tablet. And kudos to Bestbuy for making the upgrade transition extremely easy.

    iPad was in excellent condition, as described. I'd wanted to buy myself an iPad for a while and I'm very happy with it. The display is beautiful and the device speakers are surprisingly good. It arrived on time. I am very pleased with my purchase and I would buy open-box items from Best Buy again.

    This iPad is such a cute colour and I love it. There is no screen tearing when I scroll through long text paragraphs, which is great so my eyes do not strain. Being able to have split view or the stage manager was important for me since I was mainly getting this for school. My first iPad purchase!
