Was looking for an iPad for school. With enough storage space for my school work. Found this great easy iPad. Sturdy, and light enough to carry to and from school.

I've been using the 11-inch iPad Air with the M3 chip for about three weeks now, and I'm genuinely impressed. This thing has become my go-to device for almost everything.
Performance: The M3 chip is absolutely no joke. I'm running Procreate with massive canvases, editing 4K video clips in LumaFusion, and multitasking between apps without a single stutter. Apps launch instantly, and even demanding games run buttery smooth. The Apple Intelligence features are still rolling out, but the ones I've tried (like improved writing tools and photo cleanup) work incredibly well.
Design: Space Gray looks sleek and professional without showing fingerprints too badly. At 11 inches, it's the sweet spot for portability – easily fits in my backpack, perfect for commuting or working at coffee shops. It's thin and light enough that I can hold it one-handed for extended reading sessions.
Display: The Liquid Retina display is gorgeous. Colors pop, text is crisp, and the 60Hz refresh rate is perfectly smooth for everything I do. True, it's not the 120Hz ProMotion of the Pro models, but honestly? I don't miss it at this price point.
Battery Life: Easily gets me through a full day of mixed use. I'm talking streaming, browsing, note-taking, and some creative work. Usually end the day with 20-30% left.
The only minor downside: 128GB fills up faster than I expected with apps and projects, so I'd recommend going for 256GB if you're planning to store a lot of media or work files locally. Cloud storage helps, though.
Bottom line: If you want iPad Pro power without the Pro price tag, this is it. Perfect for students, creative professionals, or anyone who wants a premium tablet experience. Highly recommended!

The M3 chip makes everything lightning fast—from multitasking to AI-based features. The display is bright, and battery life easily lasts all day. I do wish it had a 120Hz screen like the Pro models, but for the price, this is the best value in the iPad lineup right now.

Bought to of these, one for me and one for my wife. They are both open box in very good condition. I don’t see any difference from brand new. The larger screen is wonderful when watching Netflix or any video online. It’s super fast and never freezes up. It’s got 128 Gigs of storage which is great. It’s got the M3 processor that is built for AI. Yet, on sale it was barely more than a $100 note Jan the base iPad with the A-16 processor. It’s a little over kill for us, but that just means it will last us for several years.

I bought this tablet to practice drawing and painting on, and it does what I need it to. It was easy to set up. I was debating between getting the 13-inch, but this one is definitely big enough to draw on. I'm new to iPads, but having this one made me feel like I was already a pro.

I recently visited Best Buy to shop for a new tablet, and I must say, the experience was top-notch! I was in search of an iPad and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was reasonably priced. Best Buy offered an excellent deal, making it affordable and within my budget.
We also decided to purchase the iPad's keyboard and pencil, which turned out to be perfect additions. The iPad itself is amazing and did everything we needed. Transferring information from my iPhone was a seamless process, which made the entire setup hassle-free.
Moreover, the customer service at Best Buy was outstanding. The staff was extremely helpful, guiding us through the options and ensuring we left satisfied. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better shopping experience. If you're in the market for an iPad or any tech gadget, I highly recommend checking out Best Buy!

Such an amazing iPad battery life is amazing. I use this to watch tv and the display is great as well as the battery life. Paired with the Apple Pencil pro this thing is a BEAST.

My iPad 5th generation served me well for eight years, but it stopped receiving updates and became sluggish. The new iPad Air is a significant improvement, and I’m delighted with it. I appreciate the 11-inch size, its intuitive interface, and the anti-reflective display, which is ideal for reading on the iPad.

Everything I wanted—and more! (Do t really need all that AI stuff as I am capable of reading, writing, & arithmetic, myself and prefer to manage my own thoughts!). The equipment itself is reliable, fast, easy to use and just another great Apple product. Love it.

iPad Air 11-Inch M3 (128GB) Review on Best Buy – F

I didn’t think I needed a new iPad… until I turned on the iPad Air 11-inch with the M3 chip—and my jaw actually dropped.
Coming from the 9th-generation iPad, this feels less like an upgrade and more like stepping into the future. The 11-inch display is absolutely stunning—bigger, brighter, and so fluid it feels alive. Scrolling is silk. Colors pop. Everything looks expensive and joyful. The moment it lit up, I knew: this is what my old iPad was trying to be.
And the M3 chip?
WOW. Apps launch instantly. Multitasking feels effortless. Creative work, gaming, editing, browsing—everything is blazing fast with zero hesitation. It’s not just quicker than the 9th Gen… it’s confident. Like it knows it can handle anything I throw at it.

A much-needed piece of equipment for my art studio. Setup was seamless using my iPhone. Maybe took 3 minutes. I currently use a Microsoft Surface from 2018 and the Clip Studio Paint for digital art. For the iPad, I purchased the Affinity Serif Software Suite with many add-ons. I haven't used the iPad for graphics, yet, since I am finishing up a piece of art on the Surface. During the setup and downloads on the iPad, it was super-fast and the Apple Pencil was very responsive.
