    My favorite iPad so far

    I absolutely love this iPad. I use this with the Apple Pencil 2 for drawing. I also use this a lot for watching videos. I love the ability to divide the screen and have multiple windows open at once. I’m told I can use this as an extra screen for my MacBook Pro, but I have yet to try it. I’m a big fan.

    I love my iPad!! I’m a nursing student in my 30’s and I love being able to make notes, refer back efficiently instead of lugging several notebooks in my backpack.

    Very Helpful Workstation

    The Ipad Air 5 is great, even with the lowest available storage. Cloud storage has been more than enough, and I use this tablet all the time for reference material as well as for school work. I also work on art and use it to play and stream games and media. It has become my go to device for most situations that a cell phone just won't quite do. I have health and chronic pain issues, so being able to rely on this device and sit in positions depending upon my unique needs rather than have to struggle to sit at a desk is amazing. It can't do everything, but it comes close enough. It is light and portable, with extra accessory options to expand capabilities or storage. Overall a great all around workstation. Protect it with a cheap case and screen protector to have some extra piece of mind. I let my cat play with it too, and have dropped it a couple times, and the device itself doesn't have any signs of damage.

    The purchase of this item, the iPad Air 5th Gen, is not only the achievement of an incredible product but also the way we managed it. We chose the color, received a discount, successfully picked it up at the store within the expected time, and without any issues. We also had excellent assistance in purchasing accessories, where we bought the 2nd gen pen and the case with a protective film. However, this product is without regret. They also offer a very fair and affordable insurance plan, especially considering the quality and care required for the iPad. In short, it is undoubtedly a highly recommended purchase, and Best Buy is extremely capable and attentive in providing the product. I recommend it 100%.

    This thing is absolutely incredible! Believe it or not, it is more powerful than my latest high performance notebook computer and I can literally run my entire music production studio from it without any issues, which is unheard of with my laptop. I am blown away by the M1 Chip.

    I was debating on this or the iPad (newest gen) and I was recommended this version of the air for the fast M chip it provides. I must say this has been a life saver! Notes for School/Work & multitasking in between… it’s a monster! I love it so much. Good for late at night show watching too. It’s my everything tablet!

    I find this to be the best all around tablet I have ever had the privilege of owning. The Apple Pencil 2 is a flawless addition and the accessory compatibility is nothing short of phenomenal. I would recommend this iPad to any kind of person who has a need for one. Whether you are a student, a consumer, or anyone in the market, don’t let this fly under your radar.

    Good device for daily task. M1 chip is very good for heavy task. Good for student and official personal who wants small factor device to do daily task like meeting, online class, sketching, drawing, gaming. Even some AAA games will run smoothly. Although it's not MacBook but can do most of the task easily

    Very impressed by the ease of use, and the typical quality you come to expect from Apple. The 10.9 Inch iPad Air was purchased for me as a travel necessity. This did not disappoint. The battery life is phenomenal as well. The price was fair. The accessories are where you can pay the difference, but again with Apple accessories they are very well built. Great purchase!

    As a university student studying music, I find this iPad ideal for taking notes and reading sheet music. The M1 processor provides more than ample speed for what I need. The battery life lasts virtually all day, however keep in mind that I don't use my iPad for gaming or viewing YouTube. Regarding durability, I suggest purchasing a screen protector or a case for it, as I'm not entirely sure if it would be okay without one. Overall, this device is great, and I highly recommend it!

    It's a great iPad at a affordable price with also considering the fact it carries the M1 chip. I would recommend for anybody looking to take notes down faster for office work or college, etc., Will be buying the next version some time down the road.
