    My 1st iPad was purchased on April 3, 2010, the release date of the original model. This iPad Air M2 is #5. My uses for them has grown over the last 14 1/12 years such that the current model is a near laptop replacement. It garners more usage daily than my Intel-based MacBook Air and has surpassed my iPhone for many tasks. 256GB storage, 8Gb ram, and Apple Intelligence make it eminently useful especially with the Apple Pencil and a keyboard case. Lighter, more portable, faster, longer battery life, and with a screen that is brighter and sharper than the MB Air, it is taking over more daily tasks. The tablet it replaced, an 8 1/2 year old (original) iPad Pro 9.7, seems closer to the iPad Gen 1 than this model. Highly recommend. In use for 13 days. Consider the Air M2 over the Pro M4 unless you really need the extra power and features.

    This is thin and light, look way better than the older Ipad pro that i upgrade. The Ipad air runs the new apple intelligence. It has the M2 chip and its super fast. Getting it on sale was a huge plus too! Now go get yours!

    I’ve been using the iPad Air with the M2 chip for a few weeks now, and I absolutely love it. It’s super fast—whether I’m multitasking, drawing on Procreate, or editing videos, it handles everything without any lag. The screen is gorgeous too, with bright colors and sharp details, which makes watching shows or working on projects so enjoyable. What really stands out to me is how lightweight and easy it is to carry around. It fits perfectly in my bag, so I take it everywhere—whether it’s for work, school, or just relaxing. The battery life is great, lasting me all day, and using it with the Apple Pencil feels so natural for taking notes or doodling. The only thing is that it’s a bit pricey, but honestly, with how much I’ve been using it, I think it’s worth it. If you’re looking for something powerful but still portable, I’d totally recommend this iPad.

    Great alternative to an iPad Pro

    This is a powerful yet relatively affordable tablet. The M2 chip, which Apple included in the previous generation of the iPad Pro, remains a strong performer even two years later. It delivers more than enough power for any typical tablet use. When comparing the iPad Air M2 to the iPad Pro M2, I found that the iPad Air offers nearly all the essential features and performance of the iPad Pro, but at a lower cost. The tablet is very thin and light, the screen is plenty bright, and I can use many of the same accessories that I used with my iPad Pro 3rd Gen. Overall, I find this tablet to be a solid performer, and it’s great to use for essentially everything that I use my tablet for.

    I recently purchased an Apple iPad as a gift, and it has exceeded expectations in every way. From the moment you unbox it, the sleek and stylish design stands out, making it feel both modern and premium. Apple’s attention to detail is evident in every aspect—from the smooth display to the lightweight yet sturdy build. Beyond aesthetics, the iPad is incredibly useful. Whether for productivity, entertainment, or creativity, it handles everything with ease. Its performance is snappy, making multitasking effortless, and the app ecosystem offers endless possibilities. The device is intuitive and user-friendly, making it perfect for both tech enthusiasts and casual users. Overall, this iPad has been a fantastic purchase. It combines form and function seamlessly, making it a great choice for anyone looking for a high-quality tablet. Highly recommended!

    Ideal iPad for value. Very portable and has enough processing power for most computer requiring tasks. It can be used easily with a larger display for even more screen estate demanding tasks.

    This is my first iPad and I'm loving it so far. It's light and easy to carry around, and the screen size is perfect for work or just to watch a movie whenever I don't feel like being on my laptop. The customizing features are what I'm enjoying the most and I can't wait to keep discovering what else I can do with it.

    Major upgrade from my 7th gen ipad. I love it. My only minor complaint is sometimes it wont go back when i swipe up and other times it wont bring up recent apps. More than likely that is user error. I love this thing and cant wait to start getting more accessories for it. The battery lasts for days and charges much faster than my old ipad. It was amuch needed upgrade

    Taylor, staff member was excellent. I researched this and was questioning a couple of factors. He listened carefully and found the exact match. 256 was the memory I wanted. The iPad Air is fast, bright, and transfers easily from my 10 year old iPad. Well worth the price.
