    Great value, funcional, easy to,use and light weight. I have stopped using my computer and basically use only my ipad. Photos are fantastic and it is very easy to organize, listen to audiobooks and watch movies.

    We use our I-pad everyday. Checking e-mails, ordering online, or checking for news updates. The I-pad is very lightweight and portable with a screen still large enough for easy viewing.

    Amazing iPad

    I recently purchased the Apple iPad Air from Best Buy, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. The battery life of the iPad Air is impressive. I can use it throughout the day for work and entertainment without worrying about running out of power. When I do need to recharge, the USB-C port ensures faster charging, saving me valuable time. I also enjoy the fingerprint scanner and the ease of use with its placement. I had originally purchased the iPad in blue but was disappointed with the fact that the 2nd gen Apple Pencil wasn’t compatible and I don’t like the idea of having to use an adapter for the new charging port. Best Buy staff was more than amazing in the return process and thoroughly explained which ones to get if I wanted to use the pencil.

    It’s an Apple and that says it all. Replaces a six-seven year old iPad that, though still working, was wearing out. This one is faster and better screen and functions, etc.

    Not too small or too heavy. It combines perforance and portability into one unit. I love the Magic Keyboard case even though it is a pricey item. I also paired it with the second generation Pencil and they all work well together.

    I probably would not buy it with msrp due to many rumor stating that Apple will release new iPad Air in the early 2024. However, I think it’s totally worth buying with the current Bestbuy promotion, can’t beat the value when M1 iPad come with only 449. I decide not to wait any longer since M1 should be able to handle all the school and work tasks. Besides, even many rumor saying there will be new larger screen air with oled, but i doubt it would be this cheap. So, if you see this 5th gen air on sale to some what below 500, and you need a tablet at the moment, I would recommend to take it.

    Our 8 year old iPad finally gave up so we purchased the new iPad Air 10.9. It's working great and is so much faster than the old one! Love it.

    I mean it’s an iPad. Great for taking everywhere to get small things done. I use this as a personal laptop of sorts to be able to bring with us everywhere and my son uses it to watch movies in the car. It’s not amazing as it shouldn’t be considering I don’t use it for anything more than lite browsing and streaming but it’s display and ease of use is great as all apple products are. Reliable as expected as we’ve now had it for a while.
