    I love my iPad. I’m a college student and often carry many papers in my bag. This iPad helps me lower my bag weight and helps me keep all my notes organized. I love the size and speed quality. It’s very lightweight and I never have any bugs

    Good product for School

    I recently purchased the iPad Air 5th generation, and overall, I'm quite pleased with it, giving it 4 stars. This tablet offers a fantastic blend of performance, portability, and display quality. Its M1 chip ensures smooth multitasking and handles demanding tasks effortlessly. The Liquid Retina display is vivid and crisp, making content consumption a joy. However, I must mention that the absence of Face ID for unlocking is a bit disappointing, especially in an era where biometric security is becoming the norm. While Touch ID is reliable, Face ID would have been a welcomed addition. Despite this drawback, I still recommend the iPad Air 5th gen to potential buyers who prioritize performance and a great display over facial recognition. It's a versatile device suitable for both work and entertainment, and I believe it offers good value for the price.

    Pros +M1 Chip! +Light +Value matches the price Cons -64gb -Touch ID This iPad is one of the best options if your a person that just likes to browse and take notes, overall great for productivity. For students 64gb might not be enough but keep in mind that you can always buy a separate drive or even buy an iCloud subscription (which is honestly the best option, 50gb is 0.99cents a month and you can have notes and lectures on the go, iPhone, Mac and iPad) or a usb c flash drive. Can’t go wrong with the air beautiful color and camera quality, battery gets me through the day but i do have to charge it at night, but I use my iPad constantly and consistently checking emails, work productivity and notes. The best part about this iPad is the M1 chip. It should last a couple of years getting updates for far longer than a device without an M1.

    Apple iPad Air 5th Generation - great tablet

    For my needs, the 10.9 inch iPad Air 5th generation tablet is great. It is much faster than my 9.7 inch iPad 5th generation. I find myself still reaching for the home button the old iPad had, but the rest of the features still carry over from the old iPad as well as new ones on the latest iPad operating system. I appreciate the slightly larger screen and long battery life. The overall dimensions are only slightly larger than the old iPad. I also purchased the Logitech detachable keyboard with the iPad and both devices work well together. Depending on my tasks, I connect the keyboard and use like a laptop or disconnect the keyboard and use as tablet. So far I am pleased with this iPad.

    I have an iPhone, a regular sized iPad 9 and this iPad Air 5. The iPad Air 5 is my absolute favorite of the 2 ipads for size and ease of use, and weight. I have done everything from watch live shows, to hosting my own live show, and creating graphics with PhotoRoom and Canva easily on this device....if I needed another iPad this would be the one I'd get again.

    Works Great, Perfect for School

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Ordered the iPad and the Apple Pencil online for pick up and was ready in less than an hour. Got it for school to use as a laptop, and for graphic design because my real laptop is an older model that I'm not quite ready yet to replace (it still works fine). However, its heavy and I wanted something a bit lighter and smaller to carry in my backpack. Everything works great, thank you.

    My wife needed a small device that was not her phone to watch her favorite shows while traveling. It is easier on her eyes then her cell phone. Light, good processor and as with most IPads it is slick looking.

    I love my iPad, especially to watch TV on it weird maybe but I think the quality of TV shows are so much better on my iPad then on the TV or on my phone it’s like a mini best friend. Also I got the color purple and the purple is so pretty.

    Love this gadget! Lightweight and a beautiful color. Easy to fit in a medium sized bag. Battery does pretty well but of course with new models out I believe the older ones start to act up. Never dropped but the screen has survived some food residue and holds up great.

    The M1 chip has improved performance and power efficiency. - The 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display is bright and colorful. - The stereo speakers produce a room-filling sound. - The battery lasts for 10 hours and 9 minutes. - The 12MP front camera with Center Stage and 5G connectivity make video conferencing a breeze. - The M1 chip makes it almost on par with the iPad Pro. - The design is thin and elegant

    When the 7th gen ipad was on its last leg, i decided it was time for an upgrade. A few things needed to be checked off my list before i made a purchase. 1. I needed more storage than the 32gb the last ipad offered. 2. A better screen. 3. Better processing chip Obviously the newest ipad had a better chip, but not a worthwike screen. So when incompared the ipad air with its M1 chip just like the pro version and better screen it became a no brainer. Apple still offers worst in class storage at the start point and its a shame but i cant justify paying more than the entry. PS: faster charging with usb c and longer battery life
