    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.

    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.

    If you are a power user this iPad or the larger one is a no-brainer. You can take notes, watch shows, or utilze ykur iPad as a second computer with ease. You can seamlessless move your mouse from your iMac or MacBook to the iPad as well as use the keyboard for it too. This means you have a second screen, processor, and battery to help do work whenever and where ever. Great screen, speakers, and Apple Pencil support.

    I purchased this ipad a year ago, and I’m very happy with my purchase. It arrived a day earlier than expected, completely new and sealed in the original box. The iPad is still in perfect condition and works exactly as described. Great product and great service from Best Buy!

    Worth the buy! Great battery life, no bugs, clean modern display. I got it at a great price deal during the Black Friday sale. It has wonderful connectivity and would recommend investing in it rather than getting the older I-pad models. Plus, the delivery was right on time.

    Overall, it’s a great iPad. I can’t really say anything negative other than the battery life does not seem to last 10 hours as advertised. Screen quality is good. This iPad will run any app you desire. Great overall iPad when indecisive about which model you should get.The average person should buy the base model iPad. In 2025, that is the iPad 10th GEN. If you’re using your iPad for more intense activities like video editing, I would recommend upgrade to this model or the pro.

    The ipad air 5th generation is a great multi-purpose tablet. I use it to check and send emails, keep notes with the apple pen, watch videos, post to social media and even buy and sell stock. It's light, compact and fast. It's another great product from Apple.

    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%.

    The best device to go to whether you want to play games or work on 3d design, the iPad Air 5th gen is the best. The new M1 chip allows it to process at amazing speeds and run even the most complex of games at good speeds. And the 48 megapixel front camera gives it great quality for everyday pictures. Center Stage on the back camera makes sure you’re always in the photo, wether your on a video call or just want to take a selfie center stage always keeps you in the shot. With its brilliant and bright display you can make sure you get the best photo quality for viewing photos. With it’s all day battery life you are assured that whatever you’re doing you can drag it out and the battery will still be going strong!

    The iPad is very good, it responds very smoothly, the camera has a lot to be desired but it is acceptable for the price it has, it is undoubtedly highly recommended for beginners to use 3d design programs and draw it is incredible, but if you are a professional I would tell you to look for the next generation

    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.

    I’ve been loving the tablet so far, I got the iPad Air after I sold my previous MacBook Air because it was too bulky to carry around after I graduated. This tablet is very light, the bandwidth is great for work and typing papers, and the display is very clear and crisp.

    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!
