    I knew that when the new iPads were launched I was going to Best Buy and not apple to get this iPad. The price is just a lot better than going to an Apple store, plus they offer apple care at check out so you’re not missing out. I also used my Best Buy credit card which I HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE BUILDING THEIR CREDIT! Saved me an additional 60 dollars off the new iPad. Best Buy’s got some insanely great deals in general if you really look. And the staff at the store I go to are just always above and beyond. They’ve really helped me save a lot. And the iPad works fantastic with that m2 chip. Really has become my favorite device very quickly. It’s just smooth and simple and does every thing I need it to, so I can stay organized and feel that consistent flow without that immersion being disrupted. Solid if it’s your first iPad! Can’t get much faster except for the pro.

    This is a great tablet however it’s missing some things that make me go huh? Performance wise this tablet is fantastic, I love the ability to multitask with ease. I experienced no lagging whatsoever while running procreate, YouTube, safari, and express at the same time. The display is stunning, the fullness of the colors doesn’t leave much more to desire. Although it’s not 120hz, it’s smooth and snappy. The bezels are definitely thick, however imo because of the size of the tablet I’m unbothered. Watching YouTube videos or movies on it is exceptional. Sound quality wise, and maybe my only gripe is I don’t think the speakers are very loud. They are loud enough if you’re nearby but if your listening while moving around you’ll definitely have difficulty. For example, if you’re cooking and watching a video, the sound of water boiling will drown it out unless your iPad is near it which I wouldn’t recommend. Otherwise the sound is rich enough to catch those annoying parts in the movies where you’re not sure if you should turn your volume up because the next scene might bust your eardrums. The camera is okay, not impressive but definitely does the job. Connectivity hasn’t been an issue, even when I tethered it to my iPhone 12pro, it operated with great speed and ease when I did a quick download. I love that I can work between my tablet, iPhone and Mac mini with ease. I also find much more productivity because not everything is done on my iPhone where there can be a bunch of distractions. As far as use with the Apple Pencil, it’s been stellar. I’ve never used one before so I have nothing to compare it to besides maybe the S pen. It works without lag nor is it overly sensitive. I’d recommend this to anybody who draws anything from fashion to anime, even if you’re a writer who wants the security a tablet can bring, it’s a good choice to pair with this iPad. Battery life is great, I charge it after a few days of moderate use typically. It’s a tough cookie. The back is aluminum with a nice matte finish, scratches won’t likely be an issue and fingerprints don’t show up unless your touching the apple logo on the back which is reflective. What makes me go huh? I love that Touch ID is a thing but even lower end devices have face unlock. It should be available on the iPad Air imo. Also because it’s a tablet which would typically be for reading, I don’t understand why apple has barred Nook purchases. Also, although I greatly prefer usb-c type, it’s now another separate charger that must be used from the iPhone. I will say I love that they did add the charger brick alongside the usb type c cable. Imo this is a great middle ground choice within the apple sphere however, far from a middle grounded device overall. In comparison to other brands, this iPad Air will give them a run for their money for sure. One thing apple does well is give people reliability within their products, with that said, imo the price point is fair. Aesthetically it’s beautiful, the color is

    I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the latest model of the Apple 10.9-Inch iPad Air (5th Generation), and it has left me utterly impressed. Apple's commitment to innovation and user-centric design is unmistakably evident in this sleek and powerful device. The first thing that caught my attention was the stunning Liquid Retina display.

The vivid colors, sharp resolution, and True Tone technology make every image and video a visual delight, making it a joy to use for work or entertainment. The iPad Air's performance is nothing short of outstanding, thanks to the powerful A14 Bionic chip. Whether multitasking between apps, running graphics-intensive games, or handling demanding creative tasks, the device handles everything effortlessly. The speed and responsiveness are truly remarkable, making it a reliable companion for both personal and professional use. Apple's decision to incorporate Touch ID into the iPad Air is a welcome feature. The placement of the fingerprint sensor in the power button is not only convenient but also maintains the device's sleek and modern aesthetic. FaceTime and video conferencing have been elevated with the 12MP front camera's Center Stage feature, ensuring that you stay in focus during calls, making virtual interactions more engaging. The integration of Apple Pencil (2nd generation) and Magic Keyboard support enhances the iPad Air's versatility. Whether you're sketching, note-taking, or typing up documents, the accessories seamlessly integrate with the device, providing a user-friendly and immersive experience. In terms of design, Apple continues to set the standard for elegance. The iPad Air is incredibly slim, lightweight, and boasts a premium build quality. The range of available colors adds a personal touch, allowing users to choose a device that complements their style. Battery life remains impressive, providing ample usage on a single charge. This, coupled with the USB-C connectivity for faster charging and data transfer, ensures that the iPad Air is always ready to keep up with your on-the-go lifestyle. In conclusion, the Apple 10.9-Inch iPad Air (5th Generation) is a masterpiece of technology, seamlessly blending power, elegance, and functionality. Whether you're a professional seeking a productivity tool or someone looking for a versatile and enjoyable tablet, this latest iPad Air model is undoubtedly a top choice. Apple continues to redefine excellence, making the iPad Air a testament to their commitment to delivering exceptional devices.

    Title: The iPad Air Achieves Outstanding Performance and Portability on All Fronts I'm excited to share my experience with the iPad Air, which I had the pleasure of using recently. The thin profile and light weight of the iPad Air immediately caught my attention when I first opened its packaging. Because of its extreme portability, I can easily carry it with me wherever I go, whether I'm relaxing at home or traveling to work. The iPad Air's outstanding performance is one of its best qualities. This tablet offers smooth multitasking and lightning-fast performance because to its A14 Bionic CPU. The iPad Air manages everything with ease, whether I'm playing games, streaming films, or perusing the internet. Another highlight is the 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display. The sharp details and brilliant colors bring the content to life on the screen. The display never ceases to amaze me, whether I'm reading e-books, editing images, or watching movies. I particularly like that the Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil support have been included. The iPad Air's adaptability is increased by these add-ons, which make it easier for me to type up documents, take notes, and sketch ideas. I'm really pleased with my experience with the iPad Air overall. It is a robust, lightweight gadget that excels in every way. Regardless of your role - professional, student, or casual user - I wholeheartedly urge you to check out the iPad Air. It really is a revolution in the tablet industry.

    Recently I purchased an Ipad Air on the Best Buy website. The whole process was made easy and efficient. I opted to pick up my purchase from the nearby store. It was ready for pickup within an hour! Emails and the website made the process of buying and picking up easy as 1 2 3! Apple’s Ipad Air is just the device I was looking for. Having a larger screen is great for watching videos and everyday tasks. So far, the battery life has been great with no problems. Durability is great, I’m very careful with my devices so I have it in a case. I would definitely recommend this device. It’s a great surface for artists along with just regular use.

    The best tablets for a reason

    |

    Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    iPads are the dominant tablet on the market for a reason-they’re simply better than anything else on the market. This particular model is the iPad Air, which is thinner and a bit smaller in size than a full 12.9” iPad Pro, but it’s still a huge upgrade from the basic iPad, as it has Apple’s M2 chip-the same one from their laptops and computers-versus the A14 chip in the regular iPad-which is the chip from the iPhone. So this is essentially a computer in tablet form similar to the iPad Pro, though it’s not quite as fast/powerful. But for the majority of people, this is more than sufficient. I personally wanted one just for basic use, nothing much more than the same things I use my phone for, except I wanted a larger screen and the iPad multitasking features as well as Apple Pencil compatibility (this model is compatible with the newest Pencil, and has the magnetic dock/charger on the side of the iPad itself) but upon use, I was blown away at the things this is capable of. It’s so much more than an iPhone with a larger screen, there’s many iPad specific features. I’ve now used this to replace my laptop for 90% of the things I used it for, and it’s much easier and better and far better for travel and on the go use. The battery actually lasts quite a while, unlike many laptops, and there’s a special case available from Apple that has an integrated keyboard and trackpad to turn this into a full on laptop. I’m honestly surprised at just how thin this Air model is as well, and I love the colors available. I highly recommend the keyboard folio and pencil from Apple if you plan to use this as a laptop/computer in any way. And new iPads will finally be debuting soon, so these are hugely reduced in price at the moment (I bought mine about 3 months ago for about 75% of the full price) and Apple products are never reduced in price until the next newer model is available, but these are currently still the best iPads you can buy and are much reduced. If you do only want an iPad for simple things like watching videos, playing games, using apps, the internet, etc. then I’d suggest getting the regular iPad model and not an Air model, as the regular is cheaper and more than powerful enough for those things; you only need the additional power of higher models if you’re going to be putting stress on it by multitasking or using it as a computer. And if it’s just for your kids to play with and watch videos on, definitely get a regular model instead of a mini. It’ll have longer battery life due to less power consumption from a less powerful chipset compared to Air or Pro models. Also, the camera on non pro models are kinda subpar tbh. They’re by no means bad cameras, but they’re just not as sophisticated or good as what’s on current iPhone pro models, as these have single lens cameras from iPhone 10 models. But most people aren’t using iPads for photography anyway, so the camera on these are more than enough. Def suggest buying one of these while they’re cheap!

    I bought my iPad when it was on sale, so it was a really good deal. I paid the same for a new 5th gen air as I would have for a refurbished 4th air from Apple. This is my first time owning an iPad, so it’s taking some getting used to. But overall I really like it and it’s a good product. The tablet is super thing and lightweight. To the point that it has made other tablets feel really bulky and heavy to me now. Even with a case on I’m worried about damaging it. It just seems really delicate and fragile. It has a very good battery life, and if it dies once you plug it in it’ll turn back on immediately, so no waiting. I also bought the 2nd gen Apple Pencil to use with procreate. I’m still learning how to use it, but so far I’m satisfied with that as well. My only complaint with it really is that the pencil sucks up the iPads battery like crazy. Also, I ordered it online for pickup in-store, and the employee who went and got my iPad wasn’t rude, but she was really aggressive with it and kind of slamming the box around. And the iPads aren’t very well protected in the box.

    Best iPad ever? I would say so...

    This is possibly the best iPad to date. The Pro models can tend to be way too pricey for a tablet, but this is probably "The Sweet Spot" for a tablet in 2022. I say that because it's the perfect size, has great sounding speakers, love the Touch ID, love the Center Stage front facing camera with super wide angle (keeps everyone in the frame with minimal effort). The M1 chip makes it "future-proof", and the screen is just super vivid. Oh, and the Touch ID....I'll take that over facial recognition any day...works very well in either landscape or portrait mode (set those options during set up). I bought mine at the N Canton Best Buy (Ohio). They were very helpful as usual. They price-matched Amazon not only on the iPad Air 5, but also the Otterbox Defender case, saving me over $100 between the two. I also have a MacBook Pro 15" which I use for photo editing, etc. But this is nice to have as a back-up, and also allows me to have two screens at once which can be handy in the days we find ourselves in. Def very happy!! Keeper!!

    Great tablet. It's the perfect size for watching movies and streaming TV shows. The screen colors are vibrant and accurate, it's no OLED for sure but it not to be snubbed either. Charges at a decent speed, no concerns or issues there. The touchscreen itself is definitely an update compared to the base model iPad. Defo worth the money especially if you can get it on sale like I did. Go ahead and purchase, you won't be disappointed.

    This Christmas, I decided to surprise my daughter with the iPad Air, and it has been an absolute game-changer for her. I was in San Diego for a meeting for a few days and I went to the Best Buy Mission Valley store, the service was exceptional and very fast. As a parent, I wanted to gift her something that could blend entertainment, education, and creativity seamlessly. The iPad Air was the perfect choice due to its versatility and features tailored for a wide range of activities. One of the primary reasons I opted for the iPad Air was its ability to assist her in her academic pursuits. From taking notes in class to researching topics online, the iPad Air's compatibility with the Apple Pencil and its vast array of educational apps has significantly enhanced her learning experience. The iPad Air has also become her go-to device for entertainment. Whether she's streaming her favorite shows, playing games, or reading eBooks, the stunning display and powerful performance make every activity immersive. Furthermore, the iPad Air's ability to connect and synchronize seamlessly with her other Apple devices has simplified her daily routine. She can effortlessly share files, messages, and continue tasks across her iPhone and iPad. In summary, the iPad Air from Best Buy has been an exceptional choice, seamlessly blending functionality, performance, and reliability. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a high-quality tablet accompanied by top-notch service from Best Buy.

    I've been using the iPad Air M1 for a few weeks now, and I'm really impressed. It's fast, powerful, and versatile, and it's the perfect tablet for my needs. I use my iPad for a variety of things, including work, school, and entertainment. For work, I use it to create presentations, write emails, and do research. For school, I use it to take notes, read textbooks, and watch lectures. And for entertainment, I use it to watch movies, play games, and listen to music. The iPad Air M1 is perfect for all of these tasks. It's fast enough to handle even the most demanding workloads, and it's versatile enough to be used for a variety of things. I also love the fact that it's so thin and light, which makes it easy to carry around with me. Although, the display at 90hz i would have preferred, but apple's os make 60hz look quite smooth. Overall, I'm really happy with the iPad Air M1. It's a great tablet that's perfect for anyone who wants a powerful, versatile, and portable device.

    I got this new version for my partner since he bought the last version only a few months ago. So he traded in the Air 4 for the new Air 5. It’s fast and this will least a good 4-6 years with all the updates it will have in its lifecycle. The camera with the CenterStage its a much better improvement over the last version. When he has to use it for zoom calls or facetime he has to move it at a certain degrees to get a good shot while using the camera and now that it moves with you it accommodates itself and he doesn’t have to move the tablet around. It works well with the Logitech Combo Keyboard he was using for both the Air 4 and Air 5 smoothly. The Apple Pencil works very well and is responsive to whatever he is using it for. I will say that the battery life could be a bit more desirable if it had an all day life but he gets a good 8-10 hours depending the usage for typing stuff or watching movies or tv with the streaming apps. The one major downside is the storage. This should have been at least 128GB instead of the paltry 64GB that its still doing with most iPads now have at least 128GB. But since he’s not using it for editing and stuff this should do for what he does with it. Overall with a major upgrade with the M1 Chip its super fast but this could have been improved more with extra internal storage from 64GB to 128GB and the camera with flash and a few more megapixels but overall its a major improvement from the last version which hasn’t been barely 2 years since the iPad Air 4 came out.

    I recently got the Apple 10.9-Inch iPad Air (5th Gen) with the M1 chip, and it's amazing! Pros: Super Fast: The M1 chip makes everything smooth—multitasking, gaming, and even video editing feel effortless. Gorgeous Display: The 10.9-inch Retina display is vibrant and crisp. Perfect for watching videos or sketching. Light & Portable: It's thin and lightweight, ideal for travel or daily use. I barely feel it in my bag. Sleek Blue Color: The blue color is subtle but stylish, giving it a unique look. Apple Pencil 2 Support: Great for drawing or note-taking. Feels very responsive, almost like paper. Cons: 64GB Storage: Feels a bit limited if you use large apps or save lots of files. Go for the 256GB if possible. No Face ID: Still using Touch ID, which works well, but Face ID would’ve been nice. Overall: The iPad Air 5th Gen is a portable powerhouse with great performance thanks to the M1 chip. Perfect for work, creative tasks, and entertainment. Highly recommend, but consider the 256GB version!

    I always wanted to have an ipad and i was finally able to get one. i decided to get the ipad air because i didnt want to spend over $1k for a tablet when i already have a laptop. i was worried about the size but it is honestly a great size. it works for my STEM major and has helped me keep organized and be able to get things done anywhere especially since most of the documents and lectures we get are online. i also started a business and this had been a huge help with keeping organized and being and to balance between both worlds. i would definitely invest in this if you already have a laptop, but if you dont have a laptop and want the best of both worlds i would go for a pro. but as a student this is a perfect size for me.
