    Upgraded by old IPad to an IPad Air

    I bought the IPad Air to replace an old IPAD and I am glad that I did. It is faster, far cooler and far more powerful. I also took advantage of the holiday sale at Best Buy! I have purchased a number of electronic devices at Best Buy and it has worked out great!

    Very good iPad with powerful M1

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    M1 chip is super fast and still very good for iPad. After ipadOS upgrade, the stage manager can be used which is very useful. Bought this for my 7-year-old kid, upgrading from iPad 9th gen, and she is really happy for the new iPad. Speaker is really awesome. I have my own iPad M1 pro 11 inch, but no big difference except for the display (120Hz) and camera.

    Only a few issues, but worth it for students!

    For a few weeks, I've been using the iPad Air for school, and it has been useful in studying. Because of its sleek operation and compatibility with the Apple Pencil, it is useful for taking notes. But I've noticed two problems. First off, the battery doesn't last as long as I had hoped; instead of the 10 hours promised, it typically lasts around 6-7 hours. Second, it can become uncomfortable when it gets a little warm after prolonged use. Despite these flaws, it has been a helpful tool for school, and I look forward to using it more in the future.

    I needed it for college and did not have the budget to get one of the iPad pros. Though the storage is less I don’t really store on the iPad, I usually upload on google drive. A really good buy

    My first time using a tablet, a reslly useful device during travels. Performance is high, I am not playing games on it but for all other purposes it is more than enough.

    Great iPad

    Purchased the 10.9 inch iPad after reviewing it in person at the store. It was delivered quickly and was exactly what I ordered. No issues, was perfect except one detail (not directly BestBuy's fault). The delivery carrier threw the package to my door with the iPad inside the box. Very careless. I'm glad it wasn't damaged.

    OG iPad user

    I really missed having an iPad because I used to have one from when they iPads first came out. I’d be in bed at night watching Netflix or whatever on my phone but I wanted a bigger screen. This iPad is perfect. It’s not heavy and I can hold it in bed and watch tv or I can watch tv and use my iPad to play games,

    Love the sleek and thin look, functionality is perfect for what I’m using the IPAD for. It came just as it was described. Everything I expected and more.

    I love it very much. I was going to buy me a laptop but instead I opt out and got me this and best purchased I did. I even brought me a wireless keyboard and mouse. So it’s like a mini computer.

    I thought it was about time to buy another iPad Air to replace the 10 year old one that does not support all the apps I use. This model is lighter and the image is sharper. I really like this iPad!

    this is a great product. It was so easy to download what was on my earlier iPad Air to this new one. Just a little hard to figure out how to close apps without the button at the bottom but I'm gettig there.

    I was going to go with the 11" iPad Pro but decided to go with the Air Instead and love it. It is almost half the price but does everything the Pro does. The size is great and I love using it to jot down notes at work.

    Bought this for my 5 year old grandson to watch kid videos and for travel. It’s lightweight and slim and easy enough to travel with. I bought a great cover for protection but I do worry the iPad might not be durable enough for a 5 year old. I got the protection package just in case.
