    recently bought this ipad for digital art and note-taking, and its amazinh. I love how its compatible with the 2nd gen pencil and the battery life is long lasting. Overall i recommended the ipad air for those who like the power of the pro but easy to carry around.

    The best iPad ever! It’s so easy to use and is quite effective. I literally love her soo muchh. The color purple is soo pretty in person and I got the 256gb because I need all the space that I can get. Overall would definitely recommend because it’ll always have the latest ios updates which and the new feel literally lasts forever

    Upgraded from a 9th gen to the Air. Perfect size, not too bulky and ideal for a student. Very easy to carry around. The 10.2” screen size of the 9th gen felt a bit too small, the 10.9” feels just perfect without the addition of any excessive tablet size.

    Love this IPad, We got it for a trip recently to watch shows and found it really great for a lot of little tasks we do. The screen quality is amazing and the pen with this is great for drawing on the go. There only a couple of thing we found not as great in it. One is the durabiliy. We had a small fall with the keyboard attachment off a low couch onto a laminated wood floor and the screen had a hairline crack in the corner. So we were surprised it cracked so easily. The other is we like to make some 3D mock ups of some signs on s few programs and found it quite annoying to instal fonts on the IPad to use on programs. Now this is partially the app devs problem since we actually couldn't use custom fonts on certain ones, but we did have to use a 3rd party app to even get the fonts on there. Which is strange to me. Anyway really great for entertainment and drawing, a bit more annoying for some of the other niche things we do.

    Light weight, easy to carry. Fits in my handbag. Speedy. Easy to use. Had occasional slow loading, but that could be because of wifi issues. Had the occasional sudden app closure - could be because of the apps themselves. Very satisfied. Wish they came in brighter colors. Would be nice if the stylus came in nice colors. 3

    iPad Air Review

    This iPad is so cool! It’s so convenient for me it’s small to fit in my mini backpack for on the go but big enough that I have enough space to do other things while in Split View in horizontal mode. I really wanted this for the storage and since I got it I haven’t regretted buying it. It’s a huge upgrade from my iPad mini I had (in size and storage space) but other than that I would say it’s best to get it while on sale at least, it will be a little cheaper but definitely worth your while!

    I honestly am in love with this iPad. I did buy it the weekend before they announced the newest one (oh well) but honestly I’m pretty okay with that. It has a lot of storage and going from an 8th gen iPad to this air it’s like night and day. The battery life could be a little better but that may be on me. I have to tweak the settings but the purple color is beautiful.

    The iPad Air 5th Generation that I purchased does everything that I was hoping it would do in regards to working with my Cricut. It is lightweight and has a lot of storage and is very user friendly.

    Worth every penny. It is so much easier to learn and excel with the ipad/ 2nd gen pencil / procreate. My art/design has improved, my time and business are more easily managed and focused in. Everything has benefited so much from it. Simple techniques you pick up in a youtube tutorial now and then stack up so fast. There are so many easy tools to use that people think I must’ve been naturally good and drawing and sketching my entire life. I can paint a little, and I have done newspaper and book layout design with some photo editing … but this is like - I can actually make anything

    Good for Note taking

    I've had this for about 2 weeks now and so far I haven't experienced any problems. The box arrived with all the necessary parts. I purchased this as an open box so I was a little skeptical to receive a faulty device but the item was fine, really couldn't tell the difference between this and an "unopened box" based on the functionality. I set it up and synced it to my MacBook and it started working right away. I'm a student and only use this for note taking and studying. I purchased other parts I needed for maximum function and it's perfect for my purposes. I've had no problems with battery life, display is excellent. So far I don't have any complaints but I will update if something comes up. For now I'm very happy with my purchase, it was worth it!

    Tried to order this iPad on the apple website, package never came and I was refunded. Ordered on Best Buy and even came earlier than shipping date! I still own this iPad and use everyday have no had any problems with it. And employees were very nice while I asked about apple pencils as well.

    Has everything on it that I need. Large enough to watch my grandson’s baseball games games on, yet not to large to fit in my purse and take every where I go. Easy to use and customize to me needs. Camera makes great pictures. Great price.

    Great Choice for School

    I decided to go with this model for school rather than the iPad Pro for a couple of reasons. Once I transferred all my apps and data from my iPhone, it took about 50GB of storage. That is about 50% of storage on the base Pro. Upgrading to the 256GB significantly increases the price of the Pro which makes the iPad Air 256GB more reasonable specially if you include the accessories such as keyboard and Apple Pencil.

    The Best Purchase I’ve Made In Years!

    I bought this tablet after my son broke his and the tablet I had at the time slowly became his tablet. The screen was always sticky and the memory was being taken up by tons of “pay to play” games my son had downloaded. I was originally just going to buy him a refurbished tablet but instead I decided to treat myself and purchase a new tablet for myself. I gravitated towards this tablet because of its purple color but what sealed the dea was its memory capacity and computing power! It is so fast and capable of running the many programs I run on a daily basis. 5 STARS!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
