Customer Ratings & Reviews

This Ipad was so amazing! I bought it for a mix of student use and entertainment. I love it so much. The employees at Best Buy were super helpful and fast and helping me get what I want. I got a good discount and I enjoy this Ipad daily.

Love my ipad air! Prior to purchasing this ipad, I never owned any apple products. One of the Best Buy techs recommended it after listening to what I needed and my concerns. I am so glad I made the leap and got this ipad. I wish I would use it as an additional monitor with my desktop to move screens back and forth. There may be a way to do it, but when I researched it seemed the ipad would not be compatible with any other brand aside from another apple product. For that, I'd give zero stars. Aside from that, and the learning curve getting used to how apple configures things, it's been great having this ipad. It's fulfilled so many needs for work and non-work tasks. Fantastic for travel and home.

I have previously had Samsung tablets and decided to switch to Apple. The IPad Air is fast, sleek, and light weight. Really pleased so far. It was a little bigger than what I thought it would be, but will admit that I have appreciated that. I didn't want to pay so much for a tablet, but decided to take the leap after reading reviews and features. Getting up and running has been easier than expected.

This device is so convenient, I often use it while traveling and for small homework assignments. The color is eye-catchy and I love how lightweight it is!

This lil baby is fast, sleek, light, and gets the job done!

I’m currently writing this review on the additional Apple Smart Keyboard Folio attachment. It makes this device a pleasure to use. This is a great investment which I had made because I was looking for an upgrade from my iPad Mini 5th generation. It was showing its age but I was picking between the Air and the 6th generation Mini. I ultimately picked the Air due to a price match. The battery life is very reasonable, definitely upholding Apple’s advertised stats. The display is high resolution and has very suitable brightness for indoor use. I suspect the visibility wouldn’t hold up in bright sunlight, however, compared to the iPad Pros. The performance exhibited by the M1 is the main reason I chose this over the Mini, and I have no doubts that this tablet will continue to fly for years. Apps open quickly, browsing the internet is a breeze and the 8GB of RAM allow for multiple, responsible tabs. I have not tried gaming yet but the reviews which I have seen only had good things to say about performance. Overall, I am very satisfied with this purchase, although the speakers could be a bit better. They are stereo but are not as loud as I’d have hoped, and don’t have nearly as much clarity in the low-mid range as for instance my MacBook Pro speakers (which isn’t a fair comparison but worth mentioning). I’d recommend an additional keyboard attachment for this device if you’d like to have a much easier time typing. Currently, without either holding the tablet like I’m playing a game or tilting my neck uncomfortably low, typing is not the easiest on the tablet alone. You can likely find either an Apple keyboard on sale or an aftermarket brand with similar functionality, for a reasonable price.

Nice iPad with a perfect-sized screen and Apple Pencil support. Got it on sale for $500 and for that price, this is a close as it gets to a perfect device. Good battery life and easy to use. I didn’t need an iPad Pro and this device is better than the entry level iPad. Perfect for folks to want to browse and stream with the ability to do some extra like gaming.

Purchased as a much-needed replacement for my iPad (gen 9; with the home button). When note-taking, the new iPad lasted throughout my entire day (~6-7 hrs) and only needed a bit of extra charge on my longest day, compared to my old one which needed charging after about 3.5-4 hours. The new placement of the fingerprint sensor is much more natural and was welcome as the old one was a bit awkward. Initially, the body felt more flimsy, but I eventually got used to it (chalked it up to the device feeling much lighter than it actually is) and discovered it was more robust than I had thought. The increased screen area means it works so much better as a second screen to a laptop/desktop. In terms of accessories, I really appreciated the new braided cables but didn't really like the new power brick as it's sometimes too wide to plug in other cords next to it. Additionally, it is purchased separately, but the Apple Pencil 2 is incomparably better than the first version.

I’ve had the iPad Air 5th Generation for a year and a half now, and it’s been an excellent device for both work and relaxation. The screen size is much larger than the iPad Mini, which makes it perfect for school tasks like taking notes, reading, and multitasking. I also love using it to watch Disney+—especially when I’m unwinding in a hot bubble bath. While I wish the Apple Pencil was included, it’s not a deal breaker. Overall, this iPad has been a great investment for both productivity and entertainment.

Amazing I love the quality and speed of the new iPad Air very easy to use and I like the new design

The screen quality is good, speakers are loud, fingerprint unlock is annoying at first coming from face ID on an iphone pro but you get used to it. The only difference with the Ipad pro is the face id unlock, camera, 144hz and the slight screen upgrade. Otherwise, this with a apple pencil is great to do what an ipads supposed to.

I love the blue color even though it is usually in its cover. It is lightweight. Has a long lasting battery and fairly quick charge rate. I have had it freeze up a few times but I think that is due to my wi-fi. Love it!

This iPad Air is one of the best iPad's I've ever owned. The elegant and simple design of the iPad itself; coupled with the vibrant and spontaneous display lends to a perfectly built iPad. Amazing battery life and great performance makes for an enjoyable time using this iPad.

The M1 chip is super fast, the I pad preforms better than expected for 600$ it out preforms every other tablet I’ve seen. Being 600$ less than my 12 pro max is already crazy! The color and finish is very beautiful , I think this is a easy steal! No need to buy the pro or any other iPad but the air the M1 chip in this size makes it a way more portable laptop

Love the new iPad Air 5. The blue is such a nice color. Upgraded from the 7th gen iPad. I definitely recommend the iPad Air 5th gen! The battery life is amazing compared to my old 7th gen; the screen is brighter and it’s definitely faster

The workmanship is excellent, like most Apple products. It is fast and for a tablet, light weight. I bought it for my wife who is technologically limited. However, she knows how to use her iPhone so I think she will be able to figure out how to use an iPad. The only issue I have is that it is overpriced for what you get.

M1 ipad air is an insanely nice piece of equipment. Bought it for my wife, but now I want my own. Battery life is fantastic compared to past ipads I have, feels solid like ipads always doz and display look great and feels great when in use.

We use our I-pad everyday. Checking e-mails, ordering online, or checking for news updates. The I-pad is very lightweight and portable with a screen still large enough for easy viewing.
