    The Quintessential iPad

    If you’re deciding to purchace an ipad but are confused about the differences in models, i can set that straight for you. The iPad air is the right balance between entry level and pro. With amazing hardware and processor, the ipad air is the perfect mid range device that will last. Great for just about everything you would want to do on an ipad. Its easier to list the things to avoid if you want this ipad. If youre thinking about ipad air, know that its not the device id recommend for video editing or pro workflows. But for every day tasks, its great.

    I absolutely love this new iPad Air. It is the perfect size and extremely helpful for work emergencies if you ever need a computer but has the convenience of a light weight tablet.

    It’s an Apple and that says it all. Replaces a six-seven year old iPad that, though still working, was wearing out. This one is faster and better screen and functions, etc.

    I love my new iPad Air! The purple is subtle, the weight is much easier on my wrist & I really like the features on this iPad. The young man at the store was very convincing as I went in for a regular iPad & they were out. Had a great sense of humor as well.

    I wanted a M1 iPad, but I don't want to pay for the pro version. This fits my budget and it will have support for many years. It works great! Excellent performance and screen is great. Everything as expected.

    I bought this for my wife on her Birthday. She is extremely happy with it and likes the larger display much better than her former 9.7 inch iPad display. The display resolution and fast processor speed are also an added bonus.

    I probably would not buy it with msrp due to many rumor stating that Apple will release new iPad Air in the early 2024. However, I think it’s totally worth buying with the current Bestbuy promotion, can’t beat the value when M1 iPad come with only 449. I decide not to wait any longer since M1 should be able to handle all the school and work tasks. Besides, even many rumor saying there will be new larger screen air with oled, but i doubt it would be this cheap. So, if you see this 5th gen air on sale to some what below 500, and you need a tablet at the moment, I would recommend to take it.

    The iPad Air has been a great replacement for my 1st gen iPad Pro 11”. It’s so smooth and the performance is great. The size makes it easily portable and it is a great device for getting things done while on the go
