    Our 8 year old iPad finally gave up so we purchased the new iPad Air 10.9. It's working great and is so much faster than the old one! Love it.

    A great tablet! The new Apple M1 is truly powerful. I am able to multitask split screen or full screen. Everything operates buttery smooth. It’s lightweight and feels comfortable in my hands. I couldn’t be happier with this purchase. Some cons: - the resolution of the front facing camera with the new “center stage” feature is pretty lousy. Very grainy. - while powerful, using that power burns through the battery quickly. The battery charges fast though. - no headphone jack. You either have to use Bluetooth or buy a dongle for the USB-C port

    The Absolute Best iPad for Most People!

    The 2022 iPad Air (5th Gen) is such a tremendous value with it's M1 chip, 8GB RAM, Center Stage support with the new 12MP front camera, stunning color options and what sound to me like improved audio quality. It may lack some of the "Pro" features like ProMotion or the Mini-LED display BUT unless you really consider these features crucial to your enjoyment of your iPad, I would strongly suggest this iPad Air! For the money, you are truly getting what I am betting many people consider to be the perfect-sized iPad with amazing performance baked in. The only "con" I would mention is that battery life is just OK. Not terrible in my experience, but I do feel Apple could have done more to try to include a better battery.

    This is the 3rd ipad I’ve purchased for ny kids. They love the colors so there is no arguements over which ipad belongs to who. Works like all the other ipads for the last several years.

    Really love the purple color! I thought it would be almost white, but it's a perfect balance. And it's easy to use, in great quality and compatible with Apple Pencil 2.

    Loved it. Really fast with the M1 chip and it was surprisingly light. Unfortunately I returned it only because the iPad Mini 6 was more portable and suited my needs. If you don’t mind the size, it’s a definite buy especially if you price match with Amazon.

    New model is coming out soon, but this simply fits the needs a college student. On sale with an apple pencil (2nd gen or dont get an ipad) it was under 600, what a deal.

    Should’ve bought one a few years ago. If you can get it on sale for $150 off ($450), it’s a steal. It’s still good at $600. The Apple Pencil works flawlessly and there’s no delay when writing. I was worried that the 60fps would create a delay when using the pencil but it doesn’t. Highly recommended. The display is also better than expected. When reading, watching videos or looking at images, you can’t really tell the difference between the Air and the Pro. Scrolling fast is where the Pro makes things a little less blurry but it’s not worth the price difference.

    This is great for what I need. I was worried that 64gb wouldn’t be enough and I agree it’s paltry compared to other stuff on the market, but I don’t hoard data on my iPad and I don’t have tons and tons of apps (though I have a fair few) and I’m using a little over 40gb. So that’s plenty of headroom. Overall the thing is just so pleasant to use. I had a surface go prior to this and I didn’t look for excuses to use it. It had its niche and it filled it well enough. I gravitate to the iPad though. I’ll be doing something on my phone and computer and think to myself “Why am I not doing this on the iPad?” I think it’s overpriced, frankly, but it’s a good buy if you can get it on sale like I did.
