    Thing thing is a BEAST when it comes to battery life and performance. I can draw on Procreate for hours with plenty of battery life left.

    I traded in my gen 9 iPad for this bad boy and I don’t know why I didn’t do this sooner. If you are someone who likes working from an iPad but feel as though it doesn’t compete against a standard computer when it comes to productivity and performance, this is the device that bridges that gap. It definitely provides more than a standard iPad: stage manager mode, accessibility options for an external non-mirrored display, uses usb-c which opens up add-on options such has docking stations, external storage, etc. Definitely happy with this purchase.

    best Value iPad available!

    Just to be fair I returned this unit for a different color. However the iPad air 5th gen is probably the best iPad you can get for the cost. Sure the iPad Pro has a few really nice features like Pro-Motion, brighter screen, and quad speakers but I use my iPad as a consumption device to watch streaming content, to play a few simple games, web browsing, etc. So spending over $800 with tax just to have some features seems a bit overkill. With the iPad air you get a paltry 64gb ssd but you also get the M1 with 8gb ram which means this iPad is supercharged. The liquid retina screen is really nice and the stereo speakers get loud enough and have a good amount of bass. Honestly the only downside is the lack of 128gb ssd storage option. I think this is the best value as you can purchase for well under the retail price and considering other decent tablets there really isn't any competition. Specially with the M1 chip there is nothing that is close in terms of performance. The new M2 iPad Pro would also be an excellent option for those who are artists or use their iPad as a primary computing device. For me the iPad air offers the best value and delivers a fantastic level of performance for the cost. I would like quad speakers and promotion but again the stereo speakers are loud enough and the lack of Pro-Motion isn't a deal breaker but more of a nice to have. Considering the new 10th gen iPad and this iPad air I still feel the air is the better value because of the laminated screen, pencil 2 support and m1 processor with 8gb ram.

    The brand new iPad Air is very good with unique features and impeccable design with a feather-like weight that gives an immersive experience when using it. Worth every dollar spent!
