Coming from an Ipad Air, this is about the same size and perfect for reading and doing small tasks. The processor is faster than my computer and I can keep all my windows/tabs open without any issues. Battery life is decent but not as good as the Ipad Pro. Like all iPads you need to put a protective casing around it as any drop will crack the glass. I had to buy a second one due to no case.

A great value for the price, I’m really happy with this base model. It handles what I need it for smoothly from browning, media streaming, some gaming, and overall really enjoying it so far, initially was looking to purchase silver but honestly the blue is really pretty.

I purchased this iPad for an elderly aunt. Not tech savvy at all but she can use her iPhone okay and liked my old iPad I had sent her a couple years ago but it was getting old. She LOVES this new iPad. It’s fast, easy to use, and affordable. I have an iPad Pro for myself but all my aunt does is watch Netflix and Viki on hers so she didn’t need anything fancy. If you can snag this on sale, definitely do so. Don’t forget a good case!

I absolutely love my yellow iPad (A16)—it’s honestly one of the best purchases I’ve made for college. First of all, the color is so fun and unique; it really stands out and makes using it even more enjoyable. The setup process was incredibly easy and quick, even right out of the box. I loved how intuitive Apple makes everything—within minutes, I had it customized exactly how I wanted, from my home screen layout to widgets that help me stay organized with my classes.
I mainly use my iPad for college, and it has completely changed the way I study and take notes. Downloading lecture slides, PDFs, and readings is super simple, and having everything in one place keeps me organized and stress-free. Using the Apple Pencil is one of my favorite features—it feels very natural and smooth, almost like writing on paper. It’s perfect for annotating slides, writing notes, and even highlighting important information during lectures.
I highly recommend the Noteful app. It’s amazing for students—it’s easy to use, clean, and has all the tools you need to stay organized. I use it daily to write notes, organize them by class, and study efficiently. The combination of the iPad and Noteful has helped me stay on top of my coursework and be more productive overall.
Overall, this iPad is perfect for students or anyone who wants a device that’s powerful, easy to use, and customizable. It has truly made my college life easier, more organized, and even more enjoyable. I would 100% recommend it to anyone considering an iPad for school or everyday use.

I’m so in love with my iPad , the battery life on this thing is Amazon and the quality is A1! If you’re looking for a tablet just to play on , take notes for school or just to use in general you should definitely purchase this! It’s not too heavy , & not too big either!

This iPad offers a lot of value for it's price. 6GB RAM & 128GB of storage is a huge improvement from my previous iPad. Battery life is great and this is perfect for causal use or if you're a student in need of something that will replace traditional notebooks. Only downside is the 60hz refresh rate and not 120hz. Definitely recommend this!

We’re a proud Apple-loving family and have owned just about every version of the iPad over the years—and this one is by far the best yet! My daughter received it as a gift from her grandparents for her 8th grade graduation, and she hasn’t put it down since. She even uses it more than her phone! It’s super fast, has a crystal-clear display, and was incredibly easy to set up. I highly recommend this iPad for all ages—whether it’s for school, entertainment, or everyday use, it’s an outstanding device.

Fantastic item, works great and I can now play my games!
I love the newer features, the processor and amount of RAM is much better then the 8th Gen i had, no more freezing up and crashing while trying to enjoy some game time.

I don’t really understand the hate towards this model. Though I don’t use mine for anything heavy. Just general tasks, web browsing, app use, etc. it works perfectly fine for that!
I purchased another Otterbox case that covers the screen, like I had on my old iPad 10th Generation. They always keep them in pristine condition and I have no problems getting my full trade-in back.
This iPad seems sleeker than my last one. Seems like it’s more lightweight, which is really nice.
The battery life is pretty good. It’s about the same as the 10th gen I noticed. Maybe a tad bit better. The use of a USB-C cable for charging is definitely a step up. It charges a lot faster than I expected.

I recently purchased an iPad from Best Buy and chose the in-store pickup option. From start to finish, the entire experience was smooth, quick, and absolutely stress-free. Placing the order online was easy, and I immediately received clear updates confirming that my iPad was ready for pickup. I really appreciate how organized and efficient the process was.
When I arrived at the store, the staff greeted me with a smile and were ready to assist right away. The pickup counter was well-managed, and I didn’t have to wait long at all. Everything was already prepared and waiting for me, which made the process incredibly convenient. The employees were professional, polite, and made sure I had everything I needed before I left.
The iPad itself was in flawless condition, exactly as described on the website. The packaging was perfect: sealed, clean, and handled with care. You could tell that Best Buy takes pride in the way they present and protect their products. Unboxing it felt exciting because it looked brand new and completely untouched.
Once I got home and started using it, I was blown away by the quality. The display is crisp and vivid, the performance is lightning fast, and the overall build feels premium. Setting it up took just a few minutes, and everything worked perfectly right out of the box. I’ve already started using it for work, entertainment, and creative projects, and it has exceeded my expectations in every way.
What truly stood out to me, though, was the customer service. The staff made the whole experience enjoyable, they were friendly, patient, and genuinely happy to help. It’s rare these days to see such consistent professionalism and kindness. Best Buy has always provided great service, but this pickup experience reminded me exactly why I continue to shop here.
Everything about this purchase, from the easy online ordering to the fast pickup and perfect product quality, shows how much Best Buy values its customers. It’s one of the few places where I feel confident every time I shop because I know I’ll get exactly what I paid for, along with great service.
Overall, I would rate this experience a solid 10 out of 10. The iPad is amazing, the staff was wonderful, and the entire process was effortless. Best Buy continues to earn my trust and loyalty, and I honestly wouldn’t buy my electronics anywhere else.

Just picked up the iPad 11th Gen from Best Buy and I’m impressed! The setup was quick, the performance is super smooth, and the screen is crisp and bright. Perfect for streaming, note-taking, and everyday use. Best Buy’s service was friendly and efficient, making the whole buying process a breeze. Couldn’t be happier with my purchase!

Excellent product. It’s my first Apple product. It is intuitive and easy to use, I’m loving it. In the box came the iPad, a brief of a guide of use, cable and plug for charging. It came 80% charge and lasted aprox 6h. I charged it 100% in 1.5 hours. Images, video and audio excelente, good bass. The pink color it’s lighter but beautiful. I picked it and everithing was perfect with BestBuy. No problem so far.

i absolutely love my ipad. i ordered it online and it came 2 days earlier than expected. as someone who’s never had one before, it’s extremely easy to figure your way around on it. it’s so nice to have so i can stream netflix when im on trips. i also love using it for graphic designing and for making my calendars. the battery is also super nice. i used it for three days in a row quite frequently, and it was still at 40%, which i think is impressive. overall, i don’t regret my purchase at all and i love my ipad!

This IPad does everything I need it to do. It’s very fast, battery lasts long, the color is perfect! That was the hardest decision, all the colors were so great I couldn’t decide. I ended up choosing pink and love it. It changes depending on lighting.
Also I use it with a pencil and it works great with that too!
You won’t be disappointed in this iPad purchase!

I bought the new iPad 11” in-store at Best Buy and had a great experience. The staff were helpful, knowledgeable, and made the process quick and easy. I was able to check out the product before buying, and everything was ready to go. The iPad is fantastic—super fast, great display, and perfect for my daily use. Definitely recommend both the product and the store

Uses th A16 chip and has a very big screen, 10 hours of battery life if you’re not gaming, but no Apple Pencil 2 or pro support, you ether can only get the usb-c (no pressure sensitivity) or the 1st gen (no magnetic support) witch is just Apple being Apple for not giving modern Apple Pencil support. If you’re okay with not having M3 iPad performance, accessory compatibility, but you don’t want to deal with the smaller screen of the iPad mini, and Apple Intelligence (witch you likely weren’t gonna use anyways) than the base model 2025 iPad is good for over all every day tasks. And I would recommend for it’s price.

I really like my iPad 11, it’s fast, easy to use, and perfect for everyday tasks. The screen is beautiful and it runs very smoothly. The only downside is that sometimes the battery seems to drain a little too quickly. Other than that, I’m very happy with it!
