    I love the size and weight of this. I've only used a few times. My only complaint is I can't power off. I have to shut it down through settings.

    This replaced my IPad Air from 2015… easy to use, battery lasts much longer, lighter in weight, faster speed…no longer using my old desktop computer- this does everything for me..

    Amazing product. I bought the keyboard and it functions as well as a great replacement for my iMac when traveling or if you dont want a big computer. The clarity and speed are great. Again, the keyboard is a must to get full benefit.

    Absolutely love this iPad! It has basically all the same features as the iPad pro, minus the camera and lidar, but for a much better cost. I can take notes all day, pencil functionally is fantastic, and it's a great size!

    I was looking at either a gen 10 or the 5th gen ipad air. Glad I went with the air. There was a noticeable speed increase. Sound quality is better too. I also feel like the video quality is better.

    Absolutely in love with my iPad, this came in handy when I started college. Got in in my purple (my favorite color) & battery is holding up pretty good! It charges as fast as my phone and I love how I can jump screens when using my MacBook!

    I purchased this to replace my old iPad which has been great, but I was due for an upgrade. This one is much faster and the screen resolution is outstanding. I tried the 12.9" iPad Pro, but it was just too big and too heavy for my needs. It constantly felt like I was holding a laptop. This 10.9" is the perfect size.

    I needed to upgrade my Gen 5 Ipad to run some newer software. The M1 chip is more than enough for my application. Got a great deal from Best Buy and I’m a happy camper

    M1 silicon is extremely efficient, honestly nothing wrong with this IPad. A little clumsy to type on and maybe I should have gotten the larger storage version but no regrets.

    Good device for personal usage, bigger screen compared to an iphone, that gives you better visibility to videos and photos.
