    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.

    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.

    Amazing! Although I was slightly sad that the purple color I originally ordered did not look like the picture, when I re ordered the IPad in pink I was more than satisfied! Everything about this product is amazing!

    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.

    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.

    I just changed from Android to Apple and was hesitant about using the device. Not only is it easy to use but the M1 processor also increases the power. No lags and great streaming! Highly recommend
