    Works great and performs as advertised. I also like the stylish color. Was looking for something to digitally draw. Purchased the Apple Pencil with it and it works great too.

    This is great for what I need. I was worried that 64gb wouldn’t be enough and I agree it’s paltry compared to other stuff on the market, but I don’t hoard data on my iPad and I don’t have tons and tons of apps (though I have a fair few) and I’m using a little over 40gb. So that’s plenty of headroom. Overall the thing is just so pleasant to use. I had a surface go prior to this and I didn’t look for excuses to use it. It had its niche and it filled it well enough. I gravitate to the iPad though. I’ll be doing something on my phone and computer and think to myself “Why am I not doing this on the iPad?” I think it’s overpriced, frankly, but it’s a good buy if you can get it on sale like I did.

    A great tablet! The new Apple M1 is truly powerful. I am able to multitask split screen or full screen. Everything operates buttery smooth. It’s lightweight and feels comfortable in my hands. I couldn’t be happier with this purchase. Some cons: - the resolution of the front facing camera with the new “center stage” feature is pretty lousy. Very grainy. - while powerful, using that power burns through the battery quickly. The battery charges fast though. - no headphone jack. You either have to use Bluetooth or buy a dongle for the USB-C port

    The Absolute Best iPad for Most People!

    The 2022 iPad Air (5th Gen) is such a tremendous value with it's M1 chip, 8GB RAM, Center Stage support with the new 12MP front camera, stunning color options and what sound to me like improved audio quality. It may lack some of the "Pro" features like ProMotion or the Mini-LED display BUT unless you really consider these features crucial to your enjoyment of your iPad, I would strongly suggest this iPad Air! For the money, you are truly getting what I am betting many people consider to be the perfect-sized iPad with amazing performance baked in. The only "con" I would mention is that battery life is just OK. Not terrible in my experience, but I do feel Apple could have done more to try to include a better battery.

    The iPad Air is great introduction as a persons first iPad. I’ve used it for video editing and so far it runs real smooth due to its powerful M1 chip. Lighting and display is superb. It’s pretty easy to navigate as well and organize. I bought the 64gb version which I wouldn’t consider getting as the 256gb is the better option. Despite the storage though, it’s a powerful device that if your looking for an upgrade or just want to join the iPad ecosystem, it’s a great option!

    I really went back and forth about deciding to upgrade my iPad 6th generation or not. Before settling on the iPad Air 5gen, I was going to jump on the less expensive iPad 9gen (on sell) or even the 10gen which is not much different. It is AMAZING! What an improvement over my last iPad. Not to mention the use of the (extra purchase) Apple Pen 2 that is charged wirelessly via the iPad Air5, the connectivity to the Magic Keyboard (extra purchase) and the much larger hard drive (4x more space than my previous base model). I can’t find anything to complain about other than its cost. But with the measly trade in value of my last device, it was an OK dollar amount.

    I purchased for my mother for Christmas. She was used to using a tablet. She really likes it. It has a really good battery life. I like that I have 18 months to pay for it. The screen color is just like looking at a TV.
