Customer Ratings & Reviews

This tablet is perfect for students. Initially bought the 9th generation version but needed a bit more screen space. The foot print of the device seems to be the same size but the screen, is slightly larger as there is no button and a slimmer bezel surrounding it., purchased for notetaking and it perfectly fits my needs for that. Screen is sharp and clear. The only con I can think of is that I had to tweak a lot of settings to keep the battery from draining so quickly, and that there was a $50 price drop a week after I bought it. No regrets though. Highly recommend.

The iPad Air in the stunning masterpiece of technology and design. From the moment you hold it, you can feel the premium build quality and attention to detail. The striking blue color not only adds a touch of elegance but also sets it apart. The performance of this iPad Air is exceptional, thanks to the powerful A-series chip. It handles multitasking, graphic-intensive apps, and even gaming with ease. The display is incredibly sharp, offering vibrant colors and true-to-life clarity, making it a joy for any content consumption.

I bought this for my husband for his birthday along with the newest pencil and I think it was a perfect gift! He is using it for his college courses, and it makes everything such a breeze. He had an older model iPad but it was time for an upgrade as his was at least ten years old. For context we have an iMac, and an apple laptop at home but this little thing is faster than both of them- we are so impressed! Also, the salesman at the best buy store in Cape Girardeau Missouri was fantastic— he took his time to explain everything to me to ensure I made the best purchase for my husbands needs. I wasn’t rushed and he helped me find a great deal on accessories too.

Very fast, very light. Anyone can use this. Had issues with charging cords. Had to use geek squad and they replaced it but not sure if it is happening again.

The iPad Air (5th Gen) is an amazing device for anyone seeking to use it in an educational setting. There are various apps that make taking notes and editing files much easier on this device. This iPad is a also a great alternative for those not wanting to spend the extra money on an iPad Pro.

As with most Apple products this product is just superior to the competition, I know there will be the Galaxy fanboys and girls that will argue but I have tried both and tried my best to like the galaxy s series tablets and while they are nice products, they simply don’t compare to the ease of use and the array of accessories that Apple has. I was an Android guy for a long time but when I made the switch to IOS. I questioned myself why I was so stubborn to not make the switch much sooner. Just buy one or even go for the pro model that I also have.

Great device. As a college student I’ve tried Mac, Dell, and even with a home PC I still find my iPad extremely useful and critical in my success. I don’t leave home without it. 256gb is probably overkill for just school files but so far I have been extremely satisfied with it. Only complaint is that there is no calculator. Like seriously? The device is miles beyond the computing power for a calculator so I’m not sure why Apple decided to leave that out. Computers from the 90’s have calculators but apparently not a 5th generation iPad that is a direct competitor to laptops/computers. You’re left with no choice but to download one of many suspect calculator apps loaded with advertisements. This sucks as an Engineering major but other than that, very satisfied with my purchase.

I use my tablet daily. Never had a problem with it, and it always functions well. I will buy another one just like it if something happened to the one I have.

Wonderful IPad Air has filled in as a replacement for a very old and tired IPad. I love the speed and ease of use. The display is sharp.

Yeah yeah, Apple ended up with the win this time... Again. Bought this for the wife so she can rekindle her year-old New Year's resolutions and get some certifications under her belt. Well, having an iPad did the trick. Although she claims to hate technology, the ease of use of iOS won her over. I definitely recommend this for anyone who wants to use this for educational purposes. An Apple pencil and keyboard are also recommended. Special thanks to Best Buy for your financing options and making this possible.

Easy to navigate, battery holds up really good the prize was reasonable

Daughter loves this product. Much lighter than earlier models. Great memory for a college student who saves a lot of detailed graphics.

Still trying to figure everything out but I am enjoying the large screen, clear pictures and the speed when surfing the web or moving from one game or news article or another.

Nice colors on the iPad and quick. Can use as a low key computer and media streaming. Good for games also

Up and running after I got my wifes account transferred to this machine. It is fast and holds a charge a long time.

Love it. The M1 chip gives a huge increase in speed over my 6 year old iPad Pro. I’m getting over 500 Mbps wireless download speeds now (Google Fiber). All day battery life. Sharp bright screen. Very happy with my purchase

Absolutely Love my newest IPad !!! Have had numerous iPads but really like this one, super fast and so easy to use. Picture and video quality is superior on this !!

I upgraded from a old iPad to the newest iPad Air. Can't believe how fast the newer iPads are these days. Lots of storage in this newer iPad which makes my life so easy.

Super fast, very durable, good battery life great for everyday use

This iPad is great for college students. The battery life combined with the storage and power make this iPad ideal for all work and school needs.
