    It’s fast, has a beautiful display, and is more like our iPhone than was the 10 year old iPad that we discarded. Kudos to the Geek Squad for setting it up so nicely for us.

    This Apple Air IPad is the best newest addition to my electronics!! It’s been very useful and fast as far as uploading and updates! The weight of the iPad is very light and airy, which is convenient for me while traveling. Let’s not talk about the AMAZING sound quality.

    I was iffy about buying an Apple product at first but after buying 5 differwnt Wacom drawing tablets and liking none of them this was kind of my last option. Im glad i took the plunge because it's been great for my digital Illustration classes at school. Strongly recommend even if you don't like Apple. It runs Adobe, Procreate and Clip Studio.

    best iPad for most people in 2025

    I think this is the best iPad for most people. Hands down, if there is one thing Apple does right, is the iPad. Although there are still less expensive options, this one has the M3 chip, and will receive iOS updates for a longer time. If you get a keyboard for it, it can be nearly a decent basic computer for productivity, but to be clear this is a tablet first device. I mostly use mine as an eReader. The battery life is great too.

    MacBook Air is so worth it

    This was the best purchase I made. For me there were a few things I was torn between when it came to buying either a IPad Air or IPad Pro. My main ones were what works well with my major, do I need more creative uses, etc. I went with the IPad Air in starlight because it had all the features I wanted as well as the look. The battery life is good and having this particular model in 11 inches is great because my laptop is 15 inches so it’s a perfect size for everything in between a phone and a MacBook.

    iPad Air M3 review

    I recently picked up the new iPad Air with the M3 chip from Best Buy, and I couldn’t be happier with the purchase. From the moment I unboxed it, the experience has been nothing short of amazing. The M3 chip is a powerhouse — everything feels lightning fast, whether I’m multitasking between work apps, editing photos, or streaming content. Apps launch instantly, and even heavier tasks like video editing run smoothly without any lag. It genuinely feels like having laptop-level performance in a super sleek tablet. The display is gorgeous: bright, sharp, and perfect for watching movies or reading. Paired with the Apple Pencil, it’s also fantastic for taking notes and sketching. Battery life has been impressive too — I can go through a full day of work and entertainment without worrying about charging. Buying from Best Buy was just as smooth. The staff were knowledgeable, helped me compare storage options, and made sure I got exactly what I needed. Pickup was quick and easy, and they even helped me get it set up right in-store. If you’re considering upgrading your tablet, the iPad Air with the M3 chip is a no-brainer. It balances power, portability, and price perfectly, and Best Buy made the whole buying process effortless.

    This is my first iPad. I was planning to get A16 one but ended up with this one. I do not know how much better it is, but i love using it. Fast. Smooth. I don’t mind 60 hz refresh rate. I love the blue color but I don’t like the battery backup. It is about the average I would say. Overall it works great for my reading and note taking purposes with apple pencil pro.

    Very impressed for my first IPad

    This is my very first IPad and I am very impressed with it. It runs fast and the size of the screen is perfect. I solely bought it to play games, watch streaming apps, coloring books and has this iPad does it all and some more. I was originally going to get the A16 IPad but saw the Air M3 w/Apple Intelligence and wanted to get it instead, so when I seen it on sale for a Black Friday price before Black Friday sales even started, I immediately swooped it up! My only gripe is I wish the battery life could be a bit better. Overall, I am satisfied with my iPad Air M3! I bought an Apple Pencil as well.

    This is the iPad that gets no love. It’s pretty amazing. It’s the m3, decent performance and nice enough to handle some serious tasks. Is it my day to day, no. It’s for travel, reading, watching YouTube, and doing light photography tasks. I used to have the iPad Pro, but rarely ever used the camera. Honestly, use the iphone for photos. iPhones for some reason have a better camera than any of the iPads. The USB-C is nice to have and you can connect it to a monitor if you want. I went with 11”, traveling on a plane, the 13” is too cumbersome. Speakers are ok, not the bass like in the pro, but I use headphones anyways listening to music…and the screen although it’s not OLed is a really nice LED. I’ve done some light gaming and driving games and they work fine. Don’t use it for heavy environment games like Cyberpunk or Death Strand. It’s not that kind of tablet. Overall it’s great and it’s the iPad people gloss over because they either want cheap or very expensive premium from Apple.

    THIS IPAD VERSION is nothing short of the Continued excellence, which is standard for Apple products. I experienced optional customer service at the store in Taylor, Michigan. I am very appreciative to Michelle and the young man (blonde, I think his name was Chris. Please FORGIVE ME for not remembering his name. He works in the Apple Section). Michelle & Chris were very helpful, assisted in resolving a prior issue AND EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT THE PRODUCTS!!!! I had a great customer service experience and I bought an awesome product.

    This ipad is really fast and it’s a smart technology as it comes with artificial intelligence! I recently just purchased it last month!! Also, since it just came out earlier this year back in march, everything works really well and so fast!!! I got the purple one. It’s been a while for me to owe an iPad so this is my 2nd one so far! I was so happy to get an iPad again since it’s been years since I last had one!! It also corrects any typo or suggests a short sentence when you’re going to be typing. Last but not least, the battery does last pretty long and charges fast. It doesn’t take that long to charge it until 80-100%. I really love my new iPad!! I just need to get an apple pencil now! But for the case, i bought it separately! It’s the brand called Zagg. Overall, everything is fast and works really well!! :)

    This iPad is phenomenal for a lack of better words! I bought it for studying in nursing school, but I’m enjoying playing games and drawing on it as well. The Apple Pencil is smooth and you can lay your hand on the screen without it making random markings. The battery life sufficient. I played on it for hours and the battery still got me through the night. I’m loving it so far!
