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

I bought my iPad at Best Buy and the experience was excellent. The purchasing process was quick, shipping arrived earlier than expected, and the packaging was perfect. The iPad has incredible performance, the screen is sharp, and the battery lasts a long time. I highly recommend both the product and the store.

Absolutely love this iPad! The A16 chip makes everything feel super smooth and fast — from multitasking to gaming, it's a powerhouse. The 11-inch display is bright, crisp, and perfect for reading, streaming, or drawing. I primarily use it for work, video calls, and entertainment, and it hasn’t let me down. Battery life is also impressive, easily lasting a full day. The blue color is stunning and gives it a sleek, premium look. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a high-performance tablet with great value!

My daughter loved her new tablet! Super fast. Great color and the touch screen responds perfectly. Excellent Christmas present and all around purchase.

I recently purchased the iPad 11 from Best Buy and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. The ordering process was smooth, pickup was quick, and everything was packaged perfectly. The iPad itself is amazing—super fast, crystal-clear display, and perfect for both work and everyday use. Best Buy made the entire purchase stress-free, from availability to checkout. I also appreciated the knowledgeable staff who were helpful and professional. This was a great investment and I’m very satisfied with both the product and the service. I would definitely recommend Best Buy for electronics purchases.

As an educator, I’m always looking for tools that can help me stay organized, be creative, and manage tasks more efficiently — and the Apple iPad 11 with the A16 chip has truly delivered on all fronts. It’s fast, reliable, and incredibly versatile — perfect for both classroom responsibilities and my personal day-to-day needs. Productivity at Work – Especially in Education What I love most about this iPad is how much it helps me streamline lesson planning, class management, and presentations. With apps like Notability, GoodNotes, and Keynote, I can sketch out lesson ideas, annotate student work, and build visually engaging presentations easily. The Apple Pencil (2nd gen support) makes handwriting feel smooth and natural, which is especially useful when I’m marking papers or writing on digital whiteboards. Using Split View and Stage Manager, I can multitask more efficiently — reading resources on one side while typing notes or lesson outlines on the other. It’s like having a portable, flexible teaching station I can carry anywhere. Powerful Performance The A16 chip makes everything feel lightning fast. Whether I’m editing PDFs, running Zoom sessions, or managing multiple apps at once, I’ve never experienced any lag or slowdowns. It’s more than powerful enough for video editing, light design work, and even online teaching platforms. Everyday Use Outside the classroom, it’s great for streaming, reading, and even managing my schedule and finances. I use it for journaling, responding to emails, and catching up on professional development materials. The 128GB storage gives me plenty of room for lesson files, student work, media, and apps without constantly worrying about space. Other Features I Love: • USB-C port: Makes file transfers and charging much more convenient • iPadOS 17: Smooth, intuitive, and packed with features for better multitasking • Lightweight and portable: Perfect for carrying around school or while traveling • Battery Life: Easily lasts through a full day of teaching, meetings, and planning Final Thoughts The iPad 11 (A16, 128GB) isn’t just a tablet — for me, it’s a smart teaching companion and an all-in-one productivity hub. Whether I’m grading papers, planning lessons, or just unwinding after a long day, it fits every part of my routine. If you’re an educator looking for a balance of performance, flexibility, and value, this iPad is absolutely worth it.

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.

Needed a tablet that would do the work of a computer that was not heavy and gave me all that I needed. This iPad was perfect, the color, the size and weight was perfect for my daughter. She uses this for church and as a leader the note taking is great. The price is really good as well.

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 bought this iPad for personal use and it hasn't disappointed me in any way: battery life, image quality, and especially the charging time. Highly recommended.

Nice iPad and cool design. Has a feel of a big iPhone and a lil heavy compared to earlier models. Fingerprint on power button is nice and saves space on device. Runs smooth and quick to charge and sounds great. Easy setup and good screen display. Not a fan of the fuzzy screen and takes time to clear up for photos but overall good FaceTime display.

This IPad is great, it works good and it has a big screen for you to see better. I would recommend this to someone who needs an IPad for school purposes.

The 11-inch iPad A16 is a fantastic device! Its compact screen size strikes the perfect balance between portability and usability, making it ideal for both work and play. The battery life is impressive—it easily lasts through hours of use, whether you're streaming, working, or gaming. Plus, it's incredibly user-friendly, with intuitive navigation and smooth performance. It's also a great choice for kids, offering plenty of parental controls and educational apps to keep them entertained and safe. Highly recommended!

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.

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.

Much faster than my old one. Much lighter than my old one much better battery life than the old one. I really do like this new iPad. I got it with the pencil and the keyboard case and it’s basically Iike having a portable computer.

The Apple AirPods 4 are simply outstanding rich, immersive sound, impressive noise cancellation, and that magical Apple seamlessness we all love. Pair them with the 11-inch iPad, and you get a powerhouse combo: a gorgeous, super-responsive display, blazing-fast performance, and surprising portability. Together, they turn everyday tasks, streaming, and creativity into something truly special. Magnificent design, flawless experience Apple at its best.

I got this for my fiancé as an early birthday present so he could use it for his DND campaign and so he could draw. So far he is loving it! He said it was easier to use during his campaign than his laptop and loved how it didn’t take up as much room on the table for the game! He is loving it for drawing as well, I ordered the 1st generation apple pencil usb-c as that one is compatible and is the best for drawing. He hasn’t drawn as much so I’m unsure how long the tips will last but so far so great! The battery life on both has lasted a long time, I gave him everything around the 10th of november and he’s only had to charge the ipad twice and the pencil once.

I love the pink color, the IPad works great. Really happy with this purchase
