    I Am In Love With My iPad! My iPad's unboxing was enjoyable. Since I recently acquired an iPad, I don't think I will ever need the Apple Pencil. In fact, over the past week, I have grown to actually enjoy it. A benefit are the arcade games I received for free for the following three months. Last but not least, it's a fair size and not too hefty for me to carry. The battery life is INCREDIBLE; I left my iPad unplugged from the charger all day long and it lasted.

    Work Tablet

    I got this tablet as a replacement to a laptop for my small business. I got the pen and keyboard case, which are some of the best i could find with tablets in other brands. It holds a charge very well and it is easy to transport. I got the smaller gb because i figured i could just use the cloud if necessary for more storage. The price was somewhat decent, comparably, but most of these kinds of things run very high. However it has made business running and organization so much easier, so if you need it for something like that? I highly recommend.

    Incredible iPad, very fast. Subpar battery life

    Two months in, this is an incredible iPad. I was upgrading from the 8th gen, looking to get something that will last me for several years to come. I had initially purchased the 10th gen iPad, but the non-laminated display felt cheap to me for the price point. Within a week however, the iPad Air 5th gen went on sale for $100 off so I returned the 10th gen and got this one instead. In nearly all facets, this iPad Air is superior. It is very fast, the screen is nice, USB-C charging is great. This iPad has far more power than I’ll ever need and for how I use it. The only negative I feel is the battery life is not that great, especially compared to the other iPad models. Aside from battery life, I am very happy with this iPad.

    I love drawing and I haven’t drawn for like 4 years or so (gotta love depression) but I finally bit the bullet and bought an iPad to start drawing again. Let me tell you, this was the best purchase I’ve made in a long time. I’m drawing like a mad-woman and feel like myself again and it’s amazing. So amazing that I started crying in the middle of my first piece haha. The battery is great- i use it for about 4 hours a day and it lasts me 3 days on one charge. It’s amazing to watch my favorite shows on too, the picture quality is amazing. Just go ahead and buy this, whatever your reason is, go check out already.

    It’s great for the price, only setback is the storage, but in my case I don’t need much storage and I consider this one of the best Value apple products out atm, battery life is DECENT an hour or two gaming drains it a lot. the M1 chip also makes it pretty future proof. If your getting this I also highly suggest getting the Magic keyboard, it just makes it so much more usable.

    The Ipad is crazy good, especially if you got it for the $399 deal from bestbuy. Best parts: Display is excellent for a consumer level use Excellent battery, performance is great without any lag Bad Parts: The display glares out doors, even when the brightness is higher, and drains battery due to brightness Accessories can be a bit expensive.

    I love my iPad Air 5 for the price I paid! I use it to read, as a second monitor for my MacBook Air M1, to watch sports, and to read sheet music. It makes my work and entertainment so much better for quite a cheap price! Open box is totally worth it, there’s just one minor scratch on the back of it and that saved me $30.

    I love my new iPad Air 5. I was debating for the longest between 10th gen or Air 5. I went with the Air 5 for its performance and I got it on sale, so the price I paid for the Air 5 is regular price for the 10th gen. I paid same price as I would have for the 10th gen but with a better processing chip. It’s is very light and thin. The pink is pinker in person but it’s very subtle.

    I bought this Ipad at the lafayette store during the blackfriday sales week. The sales representative was very patient with me and explained the differences between the ipad models and helped me choose the right model for me. I love the color of the purple Ipad and it has been a game changer for my productivity and note taking tasks! Love this and the price that I got this from Bestbuy!

    Incredibly fast, even after 2 years. Battery life is impressive, it takes multiple days to drain it completely with moderate use and i find myself only needing to recharge 3-4 times a week. Overall a great productivity device, would recommend to 90% of people.

    This has to be the best tablet I have owned to date. It has plently of power and is even faster than my PC! I use this device on a daily basis and it’s so easy to use. I bought the magic keyboard to go along with this amazing tablet and I turned this thing into a laptop! Worth the buy especially becuase it has the M1 chip which will have a very long life!

    I loved how easy it was to get going thanks to the apple ecosystem and even if you’re not invested in it, it’ll be a simple and no brain needed setup. Its a perfect size for notes as its basicslly the same size as a notebook. Unfortunately the apple pencil is sold separately but its definitely worth the purchase. Overall solid apple build quality and system. Great for notetaking in college and replacement for paper.

    I don’t use my IPad for anything serious but I do use it every day and it’s been perfect since I got it over a year ago. Only thing I wish I could add would be a calculator app and the flash option. But the battery lasts forever and fits in a bigger size purse.

    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!
