Customer Ratings & Reviews

The new iPad Air works great for on the go, light weight, mini workstation. If you are in school/work, it is a great alternative to a laptop with the powerful m3 chip. It has a nice screen and speakers for movies and great for games. Runs smooth with the all day battery. I have it paired to the apple Magic Keyboard and it is awesome. I have started using this more than my MacBook. Highly recommend getting one for yourself especially with the Best Buy deals every now and then.

Was going to get the 13 inch which was way more expensive. Decided to go with this option and i absolutely love it. Love the color, battery life is very good, and screen is great. I play lots of mobile games so it runs smooth looks great on the screen. Would definitely choose this option if you don’t want to spend more than 1,000 because this is still a great option and way cheaper than all the other options.

The iPad is incredibly fast, lightweight, and perfect for work or entertainment. The display is vibrant and responsive, making reading, writing, or drawing a joy. Battery life is excellent, and multitasking is smooth. It’s the perfect companion for students, professionals, or creatives. Highly recommend for everyday use

I recently picked up the new iPad Air M3 from Best Buy, and I’ve been loving it so far. It’s fast, lightweight, and honestly fits perfectly into my daily routine. One of my favorite things about it is how I can use it as a secondary screen with my MacBook. It’s super handy when I’m multitasking — like having notes open on the iPad while working on something else on my Mac. That feature alone has boosted my productivity big time. The performance is top-notch thanks to the M3 chip. Everything feels smooth — whether I’m watching Netflix, checking my stocks, or using it for light work and creative stuff. The display is beautiful too — bright, sharp, and great for watching content or sketching with the Apple Pencil. Plus, it’s so light and slim that I can take it anywhere. Battery life easily lasts me a full day. Also, props to Best Buy — the whole purchase experience was smooth and quick. If you’re thinking about getting an iPad, I highly recommend the iPad Air M3. It’s seriously one of my favorite devices right now.

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

The color is amazing. Light to carry around. No lagging. And battery life is essential

super fast, light weight, slim and very portable with great battery. what more could you ask for?

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.

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 am very please and happy with my new IPad I love the size and the color I love the sleek look overall

The 2025 M3 iPad Air is plenty for most use cases. I’m a nursing student who mostly use it to take notes and read books, with some occasional gaming and long Netflix sessions. Even with multiple apps open, it’s never stuttered, frozen, or crashed. The iPad Pro was too much iPad for me, and I know a lot of people prefer to get the Pro for the 120hz, but the 60hz on the Air is barely noticeable even for someone who has a 120hz phone. The M3 is future proof and has just the right features for a student (and probably most adults and professionals). The Apple Pencil Pro also works perfectly with it. The Air M3 + Pencil Pro = *chef’s kiss*

Very happy with the ipad air 11". I got it for my daughter-14yo-who likes to draw a lot. She enjoys the sensitivity of the pen and quality of rendering and display. 11" was definitely the right size. Battery life is good. Definitely a higher cost tablet than others but quality is top notch. Also very happy to see it is compatible with google classroom. Some pictures of her renderings attached

When on sale this is an absolute steal. The M3 version has marginally less power than the M4 pro. Doubtful most will ever use the power. The screen is excellent, although not as good as the M4 pro screen. You pay a big premium for that M4 OLED screen. All the other specs are close enough to the M4 to make it a challenger at far less. Compared to the A16 iPad, the M3 Air is far superior in many ways. Although screen resolution is the same as the iPad Air, lack of lamination makes the screen less useful. And the base iPad is too slow for Apple Inteligence. I added the Zagg pencil (for note takingonly).And I added the older version of the Logitech M2 Pro keyboard, at a great discount. I trimmed the case adjacent volume keys and adjacent the Touch ID, and it’s a perfect fit for a fraction of the price. Literally the spec on the size of the M2 Pro matches the M3 Air. And the Logitech keyboard is unbelievable snug and fit, without being too tight. All this is good enough for everything including editing Final Cut Pro projects. It’s kind of amazing !!!

I recently got the iPad Air M3 11 inches and the Apple Pencil Pro, and it was love at first sight! I absolutely adore how sleek it looks; got it in my favorite color too. I bought it solely for fashion illustration, sketching, and writing, and let me tell you, the iPad Air M3 and Apple Pencil Pro are a match made in heaven for just that. Functionality? ✔️ Aesthetics? ✔️ Speed? ✔️ Display quality? ✔️ Apple Pencil precision? ✔️ Battery life? ✔️ Lightweight and portable? ✔️ Perfect for creatives? ✔️ It was also my first time purchasing from Best Buy, and I was able to snag it during a sale. The delivery was super fast, which made the experience even better!

I had been wanting an iPad for the longest time and feared that this one would have too little storage or be too small. When I got it, I was honestly shocked at the size. I think it’s the perfect size for watching shows, movies, youtube videos, etc. It also works very well in terms of running apps, it has split screen for many apps which is amazing. I’ve used the split screen function a lot when beginning to plan my dorm for college and building my schedule for my first semester in university. I bought an apple pencil to go with the iPad and I love it. Even just writing in my notes app with it is amazing. The sound quality is amazing and so is the camera. I absolutely love my iPad and I highly recommend it for any incoming college student or even high school student. Even with 128gb I have plenty of space for all my apps and basic content for school.

Loving my new IPad Air. Battery life is good. It is lightweight and durable

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.

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.

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.

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.
