    This is a great device for a great price! I purchased this to upgrade an iPad Air for my kids. This fit the bill and works very well. I feel that this will last a very long time with the M1 chip.

    The best device to go to whether you want to play games or work on 3d design, the iPad Air 5th gen is the best. The new M1 chip allows it to process at amazing speeds and run even the most complex of games at good speeds. And the 48 megapixel front camera gives it great quality for everyday pictures. Center Stage on the back camera makes sure you’re always in the photo, wether your on a video call or just want to take a selfie center stage always keeps you in the shot. With its brilliant and bright display you can make sure you get the best photo quality for viewing photos. With it’s all day battery life you are assured that whatever you’re doing you can drag it out and the battery will still be going strong!

    The ipad air 5th generation is a great multi-purpose tablet. I use it to check and send emails, keep notes with the apple pen, watch videos, post to social media and even buy and sell stock. It's light, compact and fast. It's another great product from Apple.

    If you are a power user this iPad or the larger one is a no-brainer. You can take notes, watch shows, or utilze ykur iPad as a second computer with ease. You can seamlessless move your mouse from your iMac or MacBook to the iPad as well as use the keyboard for it too. This means you have a second screen, processor, and battery to help do work whenever and where ever. Great screen, speakers, and Apple Pencil support.

    I love my new iPad Air! As a college student, it helps me take notes, study, and stay organized. Whenever I’m not studying, I watch shows. The screen and display is amazing too. Having intricate and detailed orientated material and apps and having an iPad Air that shows great demographics is the icing on the cake for me. Not to mention having a great camera to take pictures with. So I strongly encourage anyone, more specifically college students, to invest in this and an Apple Pencil! It’s a lifesaver!

    I am so in love with my IPad Air! This is my first time ever buying a iPad. I’ve had tablets in the past and I have alway had issues with them. The other tablets just aren’t built as well as apple’s ipad. The quality is so superb and the picture is so clean and clear. Not once have I had any lag. The process of setting it up was so easy because I already have an iPhone so all I had to do was put my phone next to it and it immediately helped me log in. Apple products are the best and no other company can out sue them in my opinion. Also I am so obsessed with the Apple Pencil that goes with it and charges and sticks right to the side of the iPad!!

    The iPad Air 5 is an excellent choice for users who need a powerful, versatile tablet without stepping up to the more expensive iPad Pro. Its M1 chip, improved front camera, and support for advanced accessories make it suitable for a wide range of tasks, from casual use to professional work.

    iPad Air 5 is great, but here's why it's not an M1 iPad Pro replacementApple just announced the iPad Air 5 . With the M1 chip inside of it and an updated USB-C port, it never looked as “Pro” as now. That said, I'm still not convinced it can replace the M1 iPad Pro as the tablet professional goes – here's why. expand
