    I bought this as a Christmas gift for my brother who was a high school senior. He is now in college, and loves using his iPad to take notes, and read through his textbooks (which are all online). It is very fast due to the M1 chip, and seamlessly integrates the Apple Pencil within the functions. It is a great tool for college students wanting to physically take notes (physically taking notes has been shown to increase information retention and memorization), but also have the notes accessible across devices.

    Wow. Bigger, faster and more brilliant screen colors. My previous iPad was regular iPad version 9 and I’m so glad I made the switch

    This is a replacement for my old device and I am so glad I went with this item. It is more than I expected and is faster, bigger screen, easy to transfer contents from my old device. I am very pleased!

    The best bang for your buck with the m1 chip. Its basically a pro 11 without the specs in paper. But the feel is the same. The only thjng you may miss is the face unlock

    iPad is well built and a big upgrade from my generation one. Much faster and screen is crystal clear. Company size affords for great mobility and when in case helps with protection.

    I upgraded from an iPad Pro 12.9 2nd generation that I had since 2017. The device was working perfectly but the processor was starting to show its limitations and this device would probably not get iOS 18 when it comes out later this year. Best Buy had this iPad Air on sale for $399 and I got $160 back in trade for my device. Amazing deal and the Air 5th generation is no slouch. M1 still performs amazingly and really there is no need to get the M2 Air unless you needed the M2. Great device and Best Buy has had some amazing deals lately. Thank you.

    I went in store to buy this for my birthday, and it has held up great. I mainly use it to play games that I don’t want to take up space in my phone but also for watching TikTok when my phone is charging lol. The only bad part of the experience was I originally wanted the one with more storage. I looked online and even called ahead and they said they had it (I live about 2 hours from my nearest Best Buy) but they didn’t have it in stock when I got there. The man that helped me was very nice and said he didn’t think I’d run out of storage for all the games I wanted to put on there…. Well sir I’m sorry to say you were wrong. Otherwise I’m completely satisfied. Thank you

    Not too small or too heavy. It combines perforance and portability into one unit. I love the Magic Keyboard case even though it is a pricey item. I also paired it with the second generation Pencil and they all work well together.

    Perfect iPad for school and everyday use!

    I’ve had my iPad Air (10th gen) for over a year now, and it’s been perfect for school. I use it for taking notes, reading textbooks, and organizing assignments — it’s lightweight, fast, and the battery lasts all day, even with heavy use. The display is super clear and bright, which makes studying and watching videos easy on the eyes. It also works great with the Apple Pencil for handwriting notes and doing quick sketches. After a full year, it still runs just as smooth as the first day I bought it. Definitely worth it for students or anyone who wants a reliable, powerful tablet!

    Great value, funcional, easy to,use and light weight. I have stopped using my computer and basically use only my ipad. Photos are fantastic and it is very easy to organize, listen to audiobooks and watch movies.

    Grant price for what it is. Thought it was gonna be some older less appealing iPad but it’s not at all! Slim and sleek looking and works very well. No complaints from me.

    My wife bought this for her business and let me tell you, she uses it daily. It holds a charge for hours on end. Connects perfectly to AirPods and her pencil. Doesn’t lag by any means either.
