    Unless you need to do professional video and photo editing, this model is the best one all-around. Amazing speed, screen and form factor. I can't recommend this highly enough. The only noticable differences in this and the Pro model is the lack of Face ID, however, the fingerprint ID works incredibly fast and consistently.

    This is the second iPad I've bought. This one was a gift. I am not an "i" person at all but I love the ease of use and the clarity of the screen. I use it to write, draw, read for school, and play games.

    Excellent choice for iPhone Pro users

    The iPad Air is undoubtedly the best choice for those who don't need the extra set of cameras and LiDAR sensors, especially if they already have these features on their iPhone Pro. This is particularly true for individuals like myself who use the iPad primarily for architectural sketching and post-editing. The iPad Air offers an exceptional balance of performance and value. It boasts a powerful A15 Bionic chip, ensuring that it can handle demanding design applications with ease. By not paying for additional camera and sensor technology that overlaps with your iPhone Pro, you save money without sacrificing the core features you need. This makes the iPad Air a practical and cost-effective choice for architectural design applications, allowing you to allocate your budget where it matters most—on a powerful and high-quality tablet for your professional needs.

    Highly recommend this iPad. The main reason I purchased this iPad was for university purposes. It’s light weight for bags and easy/fast way to take notes. I also take it with me when I travel to do my work.

    This was an upgrade for my wife from an older iPad Air. She is very pleased with the updated screen, no more home button gives wider view, seems faster. Continue to be big Apple product fans.

    This model is great! It has loud high quality speakers, a beautiful display and a speedy processor. It’s great for entertainment, studying, media consumption, and art (it’s compatible with second generation Apple Pencil). I have two main complaints. First is that because it’s so thin the screen seems to slightly flex in certain areas, which creates this weird “pooling” look on small areas of the screen. However, this is to be expected when using a device with such a large screen and a thin design. Second complaint is that I wish the battery lasted longer.

    I upgraded from an Apple Air 2. This version has a bigger screen and the form looks better. Still lightweight and durable. After seeing the new iPad base model being released for less $, I considered returning this and buying the new ones but after reviewing and comparing, the Air model seems to be slightly more advanced.

    Great purchase for an elderly phone user

    Excellent purchase for my 90-yr old mom. Converted her from using her phone/Android for gaming, email and clipping deals at the local supermarket. Plus family pics are so much bigger and clearer, Easy to set up and operate. The data migration from her phone was almost too easy. Got a Zugu case and Apple Pencil for her, too. She’s not using the Pencil so much yet, but the case is a major benefit for useability. This is a great buy for an older user who’s been trying to make do with a phone. Mom’s frustration level is so much less than trying to use her phone with shaky, numbish fingers. Not too heavy to hold and a case makes it convenient to use comfortably in an easy chair, bed or at a desk/table. The online purchase with Best Buy went smooth as silk. The delivery came faster than the original estimate.

    I think that this iPad has been the best addition to my selection of Apple products. The display is really easy to write on since I use the product for work purposes. Also the screen is great to look at due to me wearing glasses.
