Customer Ratings & Reviews

This ipad is fast and the screen looks great. 256 GB is way better than 32GB that I had before. Worth the extra price over the regular ipad.

Great tablet ideal for students. Its fast andceasy to use

This is the Ipad for everyone. Fast and plenty of staorage for most people. Great size with a fantasic looking screen. Great battery life, last multiple days with moderate use. To have a laptop experience pair it with an Apple keyboard and your off to the races with a great set up. love this Ipad.

Pros • Powerful M3 chip (much faster CPU & GPU than M1/M2). • Support for ray tracing, mesh shading, and Apple Intelligence (AI). • Works with Apple Pencil Pro and the new Magic Keyboard. • Same starting prices as the previous generation. • Eco-friendly (recycled materials). • Available in 11″ and 13″ sizes. Cons • Same design as before, no visual refresh. • Display is still LCD (no OLED, no 120Hz ProMotion). • 5G models cost more. • Upgrade is mainly about performance, not innovation. Great balance of price and performance, perfect for those who want power and AI features without paying iPad Pro prices — but the design and display remain unchanged.

The iPad Air M3 is honestly one of the best tech purchases I’ve made in a long time. It strikes the perfect balance between power, portability, and price. The M3 chip makes everything feel incredibly fast and smooth—whether I’m multitasking, editing photos, or streaming. Apps open instantly, and the tablet never seems to struggle, even with heavier workloads.

This iPad Air M3 works well. It is faster than my older Generation 9 iPad. It is also weighs less by an ounce or two. The one feature I miss is the home button. I have trouble with my eyes and having that button to switch between programs was very convenient. I am having trouble with some of the swipe commands, but I will assume this will improve as time goes by. All and all it is a beautiful machine.

I loved the design and color, very cute and easy to transport

I love it. It was easy to transfer all my information from my old iPad. It’s really fast compared with my old iPad. The size screen is just right for me and it’s so slim.

Very nice IPad. It has basically the same features as previous models but this one has 256 GB of memory..it is also very fast and very easy to use. This is my 3 rd iPad over the years that I have purchased from Best Buy.. excellent store to do business with

Works great and is the perfect size! Battery lasts long and works fast.

The M3 iPad Air is widely regarded as one of the best all-around tablets in its price range powerful, sleek, and future-ready, with only a few compromises compared to Apple’s Pro tier. 

Amazing for livestreaming and work on the go! I was originally hesitant about the camera quality, however, it wasn't an issue when the time came. The battery lasts through 5 hours of constant streaming before going into low power mode.

I recently bought the iPad Air (M3) and Apple Pencil Pro from Best Buy, and I couldn’t be happier with both the products and the service. The purchase process was smooth and hassle-free. I got a great deal, and the delivery was right on time — everything was well-packed and arrived in perfect condition. As for the devices, they’ve been a joy to use! The iPad Air is powerful and lightweight — perfect for notes, browsing, and creativity. And the Apple Pencil Pro is a total game-changer with its precision and advanced features. Thanks to Best Buy for making this such a positive and convenient experience. Highly recommend buying from them if you’re looking for a trusted store with good offers and reliable service!

The color, low weight and design makes it incredibly reliable when a small workstation is an issue.

I never really understood the hype on apple products... but I get it now. I have been using a remarkable for meeting notes, school work - it's been going okay but I was searching for something else since it felt laggy. Not only is this thing gorgeous, but she (yep, she) is also faster than the old crappy HP computer i've been using and the remarkable. Love her.

I love my iPad. I use it every day for my notes in college. It especially helps to download and edit PowerPoint slides from your iPad during the lecture as professors move very quickly. I highly recommend it to any student looking to establish efficient study habits. It also has a dependent battery life. After a full charge (to 100%), I can run about 8 hours of constant use before having to plug it in. I also invested in the Apple Pencil Pro, and that works amazingly and has not died on me yet while studying for hours on end. Additionally, I already had a MacBook and iPhone, and the iPad is great to have photos, videos, etc., and easily transfer between devices. Again, I highly recommend it to students as a student myself.

i love the size is perfect, run fast and amazing battery life

Great product and I haven’t had any issues with it

This iPad Air is fast, smooth, and very easy to use. The display looks amazing, and the performance is excellent for taking notes and handling university homework. Overall, it’s a great device and definitely worth it.

I really like this device! It's just big enough to show a PowerPoint presentation for a client without having to carry around a laptop. I got lucky and scored an open box so got a great discount. Works and looks like new. I'm really happy with this decision. Only took a couple days to get to me.
