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.

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 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.

I started out with a larger one and returned it for the 11 inch, which is perfect for my travel job. The screen is beautiful and there us so much ai can do with it.

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.

Love my new iPad it is the perfect size I got the 11th inch one. It will be perfect for vacation to fit in my carry-on and works wonderful with the pencil I bought to use with my photo program.

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!! :)

I'm a digital artist, and while I didn't intend to make this iPad my PRIMARY art-making device, I wanted something that could handle more involved drawing and painting with Procreate. The 11-inch iPad Air is perfect. It's compact and portable enough that I'm comfortable bringing it with me everywhere, but it hasn't felt "too small" for any of the projects I've worked on so far.

Ipad Air M3 is such an excellent video editing device, highly recommended it for those who are always on the move and thought of bringing their computer to edit. Having Davinci Resolve available on ipad platform is such a god-sent, I wish Android also has that. My highest respect to Blackmagic Design for the fact that the app is exactly as it is on the PC version. DR run so well on the ipad, about as good as my Ryzen 5 7500F 32GB RAM + RTX4060 8GB PC while produing less heat, portable and lighter. At this price, iPad Air is uncontested in the market.
The staff at Rio Rancho BestBuy also very professional, kind and always ready to help. The store is also layout 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!

I am a photographer and YouTuber. I was in search of a smaller set up to edit. I already have the IPhone 15 pro and M1 MacBook Pro. I figured to look into this iPad and I’m glad I got it. Lightroom /Photoshop & Davinci runs smoothly on it! I highly recommend!

The 11-inch iPad Air with the M3 chip is insanely fast, lightweight, and built for everyday use. Apps open instantly, the screen looks sharp and vibrant, and the battery easily lasts all day. It’s great for work, sketching, or just relaxing with a show. Unless you need the Pro’s 120Hz display, this is the sweet spot for power and value.
