Best iPad yet. Love the size, and speed, beautiful display. Light and perfect. Highly recommend

I just got my hands on the iPad from Best Buy, and I'm blown away! This device has exceeded my expectations in every way. I've been using it nonstop for work and play, and the battery life has been impressive - easily lasting a full day with heavy use. The iPadOS is intuitive and seamless, making it easy to navigate and customize. Whether you're a student, creative, or just someone who wants a powerful and portable device, the iPad is a must-have. Trust me, you won't regret it! I Recommend this! If you're due for an upgrade or want to experience the best of Apple, look no further than the iPad. It's worth every penny! (Fingers crossed for that $400 gift card)

After upgrading to the latest iPad Pro with the M4 chip, I can confidently say it’s not just a tablet—it’s a full-fledged workstation that fits in my bag. The 13-inch Ultra Retina XDR display is breathtaking, with OLED technology delivering deep blacks and vibrant colors that make editing photos in Lightroom or sketching in Procreate feel like magic. Paired with the Apple Pencil Pro, which now supports haptic feedback for a more intuitive drawing experience, I’ve never been more productive on the go. Performance-wise, the M4 chip handles everything from 4K video editing in Final Cut Pro to running multiple virtual machines without breaking a sweat—multitasking that would choke my old laptop. Battery life is stellar, lasting a full 12-hour workday with heavy use, and the new Thunderbolt port means seamless connectivity to external drives and monitors. Sure, it’s pricey, but for creators, professionals, or anyone tired of lugging a laptop everywhere, this iPad is worth every penny. If you’re in the Apple ecosystem, it’s a no-brainer upgrade. 5/5 stars—game-changer.

It’s like having a portable, flexible teaching station I can carry anywhere. Powerful Performance The A16 chip makes everything feel lightning fast.

I’ve been using the iPad with the A16 chip, and it has truly exceeded my expectations. The screen is one of the best features—its sharp resolution and vibrant colors make everything look incredibly clear. Watching movies on it feels great, and the large display is perfect for keeping myself entertained while my wife cooks in the kitchen.

I'm absolutely loving the colour of my new iPad. it's so sleek and modern! As a first-time Apple tablet owner, I'm thrilled with my purchase. The performance is really impressive, thanks to the A16 chip, which makes everything from browsing to gaming super smooth.

Loving my first Apple purchase. The size of the screen is great. Takes some getting used to the platform since I've always been an android/PC girl. Still working on personalizing with the apps I want or plan to use. Quick start-up and I like the fact of using my fingerprint as log-in option since I sometimes forget my passwords. Screen has vivid colors. I like that I'm able to use a generic pencil on the iPad and not have to get their $100+ version. Fast processing maybe since I don't have a lot of things on or open yet. Not in need of the fancier models yet until I have mastered this entry level one.

The iPad has completely exceeded my expectations. The display is stunning — colors are vibrant, text is sharp, and it’s perfect for watching movies or reading. Performance is lightning-fast, handling multitasking and demanding apps with ease. Battery life easily lasts all day, and the build quality feels premium and durable. Whether for work, creativity, or entertainment, the iPad is a versatile device that truly delivers. Highly recommend!”

I use my iPad a lot and it works perfectly for what I need. It’s lightweight, responsive, and the battery lasts a long time. Great for entertainment, studying, and staying organized.

Pros: * Performance: This is where most people will think it is no high performance beast, but it will do most of what all people want. * Value: $70 off with a trade in for old one at big box store… no question it has value * iPadOS 26: While the multitasking is a great addition not very useful for most unless you use it for productivity. This will hopefully get more features though as there is a future for multitasking. * Design & Features: all the modern features except monitor extension and other than the cheaper screen it is not much different than Air. * Longevity: Updates for several years to come and with trade in value it will only get better. Cons: * Display: Screen is not “laminated” but not an issue, still looks and works great but would be a great update. * No Apple Intelligence: Still have not met anyone concerned about this. * Accessories: No Pro pen support The keyboard is floppy, would love to see them make a cheap Magic Keyboard. * Pro Features: not for high end work done fast but plugged in it will eventually finish. Who is this for: Anyone who doesn’t use an iPad for work, productivity, or anything that makes money unless you have a little extra time on your hands. Everyone else will love it. Why get an iPad instead of the MacBook Air? You can’t download shows from apps on MacBook Air making travel without WiFi boring. Why get a MacBook Air instead of iPad? If you are the family tech support and have to reset several Apple devices… but still get an iPad for consumption on the go. I would recommend the iPad to anyone who wants a tablet, literally anyone, any age, any time.

This iPad is the perfect fit for my 12 year old daughter. Her older one she got was younger, dod not have enough memory/storage for her at this point, and I've been looking to upgrade her for a while now. She absolutely loves this one! Its sleek, its absolutely fast with almost no lag at all, perfect amount of storage for her, and its Blue! at no additional charge for her favorite color. I couldnt have asked for anything more. Beat Buy You Did It Again!!! Thank You!!!

This item was not in stock, so I had to order it. It wasn't a terrible inconvenience since it isn't a necessary item. Store staff offered to order it for me; I declined and almost did not make the purchase at all. The iPad has performed as expected. This particular model is smaller and more convenient than others. The display is really sharp, the processor is plenty fast, and the battery life is good.

The 2025 iPad with the A16 chip is a budget-friendly gem, offering a sleek design, vibrant 11-inch Liquid Retina LCD, and snappy performance for browsing, streaming, and light gaming. With 128GB base storage, 6GB RAM, and 10-hour battery life, it’s a steal at $349. iPadOS 18.3 ensures smooth operation.

I bought the iPad A16, otherwise possibly known as the iPad 11th generation, as an upgrade to my previous Bestbuy purchase of the iPad 10th generation 64GB. For essentially the same price, i got double that storage 128GB and a slightly faster processor. So now i am future-proofed. I am very happy with the new ipad A16 and its performance. Battery life is actually a bit better. And of course the usual apple pride of ownership. I am also a Bestbuy Total member, and i am glad to have the included protection.
