    I wanted to get one of this ipad air for a while, but now i finally got it. I am not left disappointed, for the display is really nice, the battery works just fine and so far, it has worked perfectly for me. I am glad I got this one instead of the ipad mini, which has a smaller display and is not powered by the M1 processor. The design is gorgeous and I would recommend to get a decent case right away. If I ever get issues, I will update my review.

    This iPad is so perfect. I’ve had no issues with it (storage and processing speed was my main concern). I am currently a college student and I am using it for canvas. I have no regrets in my purchase and it is working so well.

    The latest iPad Air might not be the most powerful iPad out there, as that goes to the latest generation iPad Pro. But this iPad is nothing to sneeze at. The setup from an older iPad to the new one is a breeze. You can even clone it, which is great if you have two kids and the younger wants to play all the games of the older sibling. As far as new technology, the iPad Air feels bigger since it loses the bezels and home button. It still retains the fingerprint touch capability through the top button, which I really liked, as it is an option I miss in current iPhones. Overall, the latest generation iPad Air is solid, looks premium, and works great.

    LOVE THIS IPAD!!! I had originally gotten the IPad mini as I wanted an iPad that wasn’t too big and portable, but the iPad mini ended up being a little too small as I was hoping to use the iPad for school and note taking. I upgraded to this iPad and I am obsessed it’s a perfect size, not too big not too small and the color is very cute! It’s also very light weight

    Works as expected. All iOS apps are smooth, start up, photos, FaceTime are all great. Some webpages on safari are a little wonky when running non-mobile versions (looking at you, gmail, with your garbage iOS app), but that’s not a huge surprise. I even stream (older) games to it when traveling from my PC via Steamlink with minimal issues (turn based and RTS are smooth - think Civ or AOE2 - anything CPU/GPU intensice will be nonstarter). Minor complaint is that battery drains quicker than I’d like when in sleep mode. While using battery life is about where it’s estimated to be. If you're looking for power, longevity, and complete replacement for your laptop or PC, I’d recommend going with the Pro. However, for general use and media consumption, it’s nearly unbeatable for the price:quality ratio. Beyond functionality, package came on time and without damage.

    After about 10 years, I finally upgraded from an iPad Mini to the iPad Air. This new iPad has a great display, processor and I enjoy expanded storage from what was in the Mini. The Touch ID is easy to live with, and the processor has no troubles keeping pace. I’m so thankful for the major upgrade and would encourage anyone who is concerned about turning in an older device to just do it. Best Buy makes the process simple.

    It’s been 3 days since I bought my iPad Air and I only have good things to say! It’s got a beautiful display, great battery life and is very sleek in the design department. Would definitely recommend! I’m not sure how durable because I refuse to drop it lol.

    I love my iPad! One of my favorite investments for learning. It's a big screen and super lite. I can record my lectures and take notes at the same time. I can FaceTime friends and family in a bigger screen when sitting down or standing in the kitchen as it pivots the lens to catch you.

    I used to have a Chromebook and I finally got sick of the laggy pages, random crashes, delayed inputs, poor battery life, etc. I decided to upgrade to this device and it was one of the best decisions of my life. This iPad is fast, responsive, has a great battery life, and paired with the Apple Pencil it gives a really clean writing experience. No regrets at all, an amazing device.

    Terrific tablet experience

    This is my 5th (or 6th) iPad, and the best one I’ve had so far. Very fast, brilliant and extremely responsive touchscreen. Very decent sound for such tiny speakers. So far, the battery life, a weakness in all my prior iPads, is acceptable. (We’ll see how long that continues to be the case.) Coupled with the Magic Keyboard and the Apple pencil, this is a terrific tablet experience and (almost) worth Apple’s luxury pricing. Wait for it to go on sale and then don’t hesitate - you will be very happy with the latest model iPad Air.

    Really nice tablet computer - my wife (a non-techy) loves it. Has an abundance of processing power via its M1 chip. Performs beautifully on video call thanks to its front-facing camera’s “Center Stage” feature which keeps the subject, i.e. you, centered on the screen. Long-lasting battery. No downsides, except, maybe, the price. I still rate it a great value considering the price.

    I am a Samsung person, I've got almost the whole ecosystem, basically, but I've wanted an iPad a Air forever and finally received one as a gift. I'm in love. Get the Apple Pencil 2, also! The snappy processor runs any app with ease, including much of the Adobe Suite. It's super lightweight, has a great battery life and the display is amazing. It's done wonders for my creativity and productivity. Sincerely, 40 something iPad kid.

    This 256GB wifi Apple Ipad air 5th generation is awsome. I upgraded from the 2nd Generation Ipad air. Using the smart start feature, transferring all my data and apps was a snap. The speed with the new Apple chip, beautiful images and Iwas able to aapt to the swipe featues. I likie the USB C cable and the Charger which makes charging faster. Should you buy one to upgrade be sure to do a complete backup to the cloud on your older unit. I t is very easy to factory reset your old Ipad.

    The iPad Air 10.9 stands out for its performance all thanks, to the A14 Bionic chip. With its high resolution display and compatibility with accessories such, as the Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard it becomes a device that caters to both productivity and entertainment needs. Its sleek design and lightweight construction also make it highly portable. Course everyones experience may differ depending on their preferences and specific usage demands.
