    The 10.9-inch iPad Air with the M1 chip is amazing. It’s super fast, great for studying, streaming, and multitasking, and the display looks sharp and vibrant. The battery life is solid, and the device feels very lightweight and easy to carry. Perfect balance of performance and portability definitely worth it!

    Love this IPad. I had a iPad Pro 2018 version before and this Air blows away my pro. The speed of M1 is insane. I am photographer/videographer and to upload the files is quick and easy. Editing on Adobe Lightroom or photoshop is a breeze and video editing with LumaFusion almost takes away the need to edit on a desktop.

    Really happy with this. Great size, I find the mini a little too small for many things and the larger ones a little uncomfortable to hold for long periods of time. This is a nice balance, plenty of power. It’s an iPad, works like it is supposed too, great form factor.

    Originally bought as Father’s Day gift for business. Small enough to carry with its steel keyboard case! Husband really loved it. Able to add Microsoft Word for typing those memos or term papers. Beautiful and clear pictures. Worth owning.

    I upgraded from an iPad Pro 12.9 2nd generation that I had since 2017. The device was working perfectly but the processor was starting to show its limitations and this device would probably not get iOS 18 when it comes out later this year. Best Buy had this iPad Air on sale for $399 and I got $160 back in trade for my device. Amazing deal and the Air 5th generation is no slouch. M1 still performs amazingly and really there is no need to get the M2 Air unless you needed the M2. Great device and Best Buy has had some amazing deals lately. Thank you.

    Solid upgrade. As a student that needs the tablet for pdf markup, graphing l, and equation solving - I love this thing. And I’m glad I’m not balancing a touch screen laptop back and forth anymore. Battery, display, performance, accessibility, intuitive interface and updates with apple pen 2. Top notch.

    Bought this for my son to replace an iPad mini that he'd had for 6 years. He loves the screen size. The battery lasts a long time. It was very easy to set up with his Apple I.D from his previous iPad. Overall, he loves it.

    I updated from the ipad 10th gen to this 5th gen air, and it is definitely an upgrade. It is lightweight and full screen. The unlock is by finger print on the top right button which is pretty neat.

    Great iPad! Super fast and reliable! Also I love the color and ease of use. I debated between the Pro and the Air and I am grateful I bought the air for the portability and weight. I also like how the Apple Pencil magnetizes right the side.

    Overall, the 10th-generation iPad is a great tablet for the price. It's powerful, has a long battery life, and a great display. If you're looking for an affordable iPad that can do it all, the 10th-generation iPad is a great option.

    The best bang for your buck with the m1 chip. Its basically a pro 11 without the specs in paper. But the feel is the same. The only thjng you may miss is the face unlock
