    Don’t get a regular iPad it’s a ripoff. You paying for old tech. This is the Best Buy. Fast processor great battery life great screen. This will last for years without a slowing in speed. But if you have the cash go to the pro model.

    I got this ipad to replace my old one which hadnt gone bad! I just wanted a new one. Its a great ipad, Plenty of speed and everything I could want in an ipad. My only wish was that I bought one with more harddrive space. I bought the 64G and blew through it!! I use it with the Pencil in Procreate and it works great, Its also a good way to stay on top of social media, read the news and email and play games

    Have been using the new iPad Air 5th generation for the last 3hours. So far so good it’s super fast and lighter than my previous iPads. I would recommend if you are looking for a middle of the road iPad. The battery holds up better the my previous iPads.

    Purchased this for my 10 year old and it was a great decision. Definitely a way better upgrade from the iPad mini. The quality, resolution, speed, battery the look of it. It’s everything for me. My baby girl loves, loves, loves it.

    First thing I noticed is the speed. This feels as faster than my old, non-M1 chip, iPad Pro! Though the screen is better on my old iPad Pro but this one is great. I have bought two iPad Pros but decided to go with the Air 5th gen because it still has the M1 chip and Stage Manager. Pencil works great and battery life is the same. So why do I need the Pro? Well, for what I do, this completely meets my needs. Great device and have owned iPads for 12+ years.

    Decided to go with the 64GB because I didn’t think I’d need much storage for what I plan on using it for. I’m Happy with the purchase. It’s fast, light, and works seamlessly with the other apple products I own.

    I bought this as an open-box/refurbished item and it looked good as new with a full battery and a steep discount. I didn't want nor need a brand new iPad generation so I'm glad this was available, feels as fast as the newest generation IMO. As for the purchase itself, I bought online for in-store pickup. The staff allowed me to test the unit before I left and was very helpful

    What isn’t to like about this iPad? Easy set up, crystal clear picture while streaming, and easy to use. Was pleased and surprised that the newer iPads still have Touch ID and that a caps lock button has been added to the keyboard! I received this as a gift, and couldn’t be happier! Only problem was I accidentally ordered it in purple, but I’m actually starting to get used to it and you don’t see too much of the color with the case on it, and the purple is so light, you can barely tell that it is purple!
