    Very light weight, easy to take notes with, I have never owned a tablet before so I am pretty impressed with how much functionality I can have in one item, and with the right keyboard it’s the best choice for someone who is tired of carrying their laptop to work everyday! I recommend it with a paper feel screen protector, lots of training to take pretty notes, and you can have all of your files in one place!! No more paper.

    I went in trying to figure out what was wrong with my laptop, the issue was very small and easy to fix, but I needed something right away for an event I was going to, the associates there helped me so much and I cane to choose this I pad air, I now use it far more than my laptop, its compact enough that I can take it anywhere to do work, and has so much functionality. Combined with the Magic Keyboard its a nice workstation of the go, and the color accuracy of the screen is a very nice touch!

    The Apple iPad Air 5th generation is one of the best iPads on the market currently. The M1 chip is incredible and for the price is a better value than the Pro models in my opinion. If you are looking for the best performance per dollar in the Apple environment, it is hard to top this model. The USB C connector is a fantastic move in my opinion. It allows for fast charging, connections to external monitors, hard drives for extra storage space and offloading pictures. Overall a great product with excellent battery life to boot.

    This is a beautiful, smooth device. I’ve read elsewhere that people complained of a weak backing and creaking. I noticed that most complaints were from early 2022. I have zero problems like that. I am not a power user but would like to point out how the transfer from my IPad 9th generation went. The folks at my Best Buy in Gainesville, Georgia we’re just fantastic. I did not need the old IPad to transfer data. They wiped clean the old IPad so I came home with the Air, everything transferred flawlessly from I Cloud, I was amazed it was quick and perfect. Best tablet I’ve ever owned.

    Product is great the only issue I had was the fact that I did not understand exactly what I purchased. This air is only Wi-Fi compatible. Meaning you cannot have your own line for this device. It is synced to my phone still a solid product that I would recommend.

    I mean, it’s the latest iPad. Therefore the best most intuitive, fastest, lightest tablet on the market. I’ve been enjoying surfing the web and streaming. Which is why I got it.
