    I really enjoy this tablet for the price. It's extremely capable and a joy to use, very sleek and light in the hands, yet sturdy. With the pencil and keyboard, it essentially becomes a full tab-top. I purchased it to replace my old Surface Pro 4 and I couldn't be happier. I'm generally critical of Apple, but procreate and garageband and such were very attractive to me, and I am extremely pleased.

    Needed to get a new tablet since my pro was six years old. This is faster, sleeker and overall much nicer and easy to use.

    Five stars for the device, which is outstanding and in excellent shape as promised in the open box offer. Docked one star for the missing packaging advertised online. But on balance, thrilled by this outstanding, sleek iPad Air, which I’m using right now. Apple does overestimate the battery life, but it doesn’t matter much with multiple devices. In fact, this is my second iPad Air M1, with this purple matching the earlier blue. It’s speedy, smooth, elegant, very easy to handle. The display is great, sound is very good. It’s a pleasure to 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!

    Good on brightness, battery life, quality. I had bought a Samsung tablet a few months before getting an iPad and felt dissatisfied so I got an iPad. The iPad has exceeded my expectations. I use it for note taking in my college engineering classes and I feel smarter and overall happy with my product!

    Upgrading from my iPad Air 2 after 7 years; kudos to apple for supporting the Air 2 for so long. Decided on Air 5 hoping for a repeat of a long product life. Screen is beautiful and noticeably larger in essentially the same size. After 4 weeks, I still haven’t figured out how to reliably use the Touch ID on top, especially with a third party case. Otherwise, very happy with my selection. Wish it came with 128GB but since since I don’t store videos or photos, the 64GB should suffice.

    I love my iPad. It runs and works as it should and handles the apps I use decently. The battery life is strong and lasts me weeks, I'm happy the vibrancy of the colors on the display. I love that I can open multiple apps and have them share one screen. There are speakers on the top and bottom of the device which work amazingly for whichever rotation you use for videos/music, etc..

    I got this as soon as I could after hearing it would have the M1 chip in this iPad. I used to carry my laptop and all my note pads to class now I only need my iPad it does it all and with the Apple Pencil taking notes has never been easier and keeping track of all my work. I could not recommend the iPad Air 5th gen enough. If you are a student this is a must have

    Purchased this mainly for use with the Apple Pencil for drawing. I have been using both daily for over a month now and can cinfindelty say this is the best tablet i have used for drawing. Its comfortable, snappy and has a good screen size to see your whole canvas. Feels as natural as drawing on paper.
