    I put this iPad through its paces within a week of getting it. I edited over 200 RAW photos from an R6 III, which is still relatively new, and so are its file formats and codecs, but the iPad handled it just fine. I also tried editing RAW video from the same camera, but not all video editing software supports it yet. I’m curious to see how it performs once support improves. Overall, it’s been solid so far, apart from some overheating when I’m using DaVinci or other heavy photo editing apps. Battery life is decent given how I use it. We’ll see how it holds up in a year or two as the battery starts to degrade.

    I traded in my 6-year-old iPad and got an open-box iPad Air with the trade in value taking it down a bit. Basically brand-new item, no scratches, great battery life, the display is beautiful and it's fulfilling its purpose well since I mainly just use it for digital art. Still adjusting to the new pencil but otherwise really happy with my purchase!

    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 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!! :)

    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.

    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.

    The tab is very nice and exactly what I was expected for. It’s very handy and convenient to write my notes and do other stuffs. I have been using the apple pen to write my notes and quick study by making pictures. Charging is so efficient that you can just attach on the side of your tab. Absolutely love it! I recently started using microphone. It’s great! The sound quality is amazing! Loved the quality and color as well!

    From Android to Apple.

    Just switch from Android to Apple and I couldn't be happier. The Air 11" M3 runs great! Gives me all the time I need to work, play, and watch anything I need too during the day, with about 8-10 hours of non stop, multi app use. For the price point, it was better to get the M3 series than the A series. Seemless app switching and when attatched to a keyboard it turns into a mini computer. I can access all my (windows) PC via icloud app, so cross compatibly is no longer an issue. The screen is crisp and clear and looks amazing. Apple has definitely stepped up their game from it's earlier days and is a lot more user friendly than before. It feels like an adroid, aside from customizability where you have to install 3rd party apps but it's still possible. All in all I am happy with the switch

    I recently purchased the Apple iPad with the M3 chip, and I’m seriously impressed. The performance is lightning fast — apps launch instantly, multitasking is seamless, and even demanding creative tasks like video editing run like a dream. The display is gorgeous, with vibrant colors and incredible clarity, perfect for both work and entertainment. Battery life has been excellent too, easily lasting all day with heavy use. If you're considering upgrading, the M3 chip really makes a difference. Highly recommend for anyone looking for top-tier performance in a sleek, portable device.

    I used to be one of the people that said iPads are completely pointless if you have an iPhone, especially the pro size because it’s just an oversized version of that, and especially if you have a MacBook there’s literally no point!!! But then I caved and finally got it bc I saw I can use it as a second wireless display to my MacBook (sidecar) and, for when I’m chilling at home and want to watch tv in bed without the tv it’s so nice to be able to lay on your side and just enjoy. I got the folio cover for it which props it up nice and easy. And when you’re just having a chill lazy day at home, if you are someone who uses your phone a lot.. this will be a nicer bigger version to watch/scroll on social media on lol. I love it. 10/10

    I actually love this ipad. I originally bought it for digital art/procreate. I had a bit of buyers remorse because I didn't end up getting the 13 inch, but the 11 inch. But with that said, IT GREW ON ME. It's actually like the perfect size for me as far as portability. I have a arm stand for it next to my bed and its PERFECT for watching Netflix or Youtube. It handles every game Ive thrown at it and now that Apple is somehow cool with emulators... well... you can see where I'm going with this. I love this thing, very happy with my purchase.

    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 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.

    the best ipad in the world! ai had an old 13 inch pro and this one is just more comfortable to use. I bought a keyboard for it and it’s just so much better than a bigger one. I use it to draw, study, 3d small things and also for watching videos and stuff. If you want to do 3d I would recommend the pro version, but for drawing and studying the air itself is perfect. I like more the smaller one, so if you are using it as a portable thing it would be perfect, if you are using it as a drawing tablet the bigger one would be better.

    I’ve had this Ipad for about 3 months. I definitely recommend if you want something light and durable. I wear a case on it usually just for extra protection but even without I think it’s pretty solid.
