    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.

    I recently bought the new iPad with the M3 chip, and it has exceeded my expectations in every way. The performance is incredibly smooth apps open instantly, multitasking is effortless, and even heavy tasks like photo editing, video rendering, and running multiple productivity apps feel seamless. The M3 chip definitely brings desktop-level power to a tablet. The display quality is stunning with vibrant colors and sharp detail, making streaming, reading, and creative work more enjoyable. Battery life is excellent as well. I can easily go through a full day of work and entertainment without needing to recharge. The build feels premium, lightweight, and comfortable to hold. Overall, this iPad is absolutely worth it-fast, efficient, and future-proof. If you’re upgrading or buying your first iPad, the M3 version is an excellent choice.

    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.

    I’ve always been curious about the iPad—its sleek design, powerful features, and the way Apple markets it as a device that bridges the gap between a smartphone and a laptop. After months of deliberation, research, and watching countless review videos, I finally decided to make the purchase. The primary reason I bought the iPad was versatility. I needed a device that could support my creative interests (like writing and drawing), handle everyday productivity tasks, and double as a powerful entertainment hub. I wanted something lighter than a laptop but more capable than a phone—and the iPad seemed like the perfect middle ground. Another factor that influenced my decision was how seamlessly the iPad integrates with other Apple devices. As someone already in the Apple ecosystem with an iPhone and AirPods, it made sense to invest in a device that could sync across platforms effortlessly.

    Review of the New iPad – Upgrading from an Older M

    Posted .

    I’ve been an iPad user for years, and my last one was starting to slow down. I finally decided to upgrade, and I have to say—the difference is night and day with the M3 chip. Setup & Transfer The setup process was super simple. I just placed my old iPad next to the new one, and it transferred everything over almost automatically. All my apps, photos, and settings showed up exactly how I left them, which made the transition painless. Speed & Performance The very first thing I noticed was how much faster this iPad is compared to my old one. Apps open instantly, switching between screens is smooth, and even things that used to lag—like streaming or loading bigger files—work effortlessly now. Screen & Design The display is beautiful. Compared to my older iPad, the screen is brighter and sharper, and the colors really pop. It’s also lighter and thinner, which makes it easier to hold for long periods of time. Everyday Use I mostly use my iPad for reading, browsing the web, playing games for editing videos. I have no issues with doing any of it without the lag I was getting with my old Ipad. I added a magic keyboard for Ipad and it's like having a small laptop. Works great! Battery Life The battery life feels stronger than what I was getting before. I can go most of the day without worrying about charging, which is a big improvement over my old model that needed to stay plugged in half the time. I do find that it tends to run hotter than my old one. Overall Thoughts If you’re like me and holding onto an older iPad, the upgrade is worth it. My old one was working, but the upgrade of the chip in this one is noticeable. The performance boost alone makes a huge difference, but paired with the nicer screen, lighter feel, and better battery, it feels like a completely new experience. I would definitely recommend it.

    Good Tablet But Prefer My Samsung

    I bought this tablet because I expect tariffs to increase the price in the next few months. The tablet works perfectly, it's just not up to par with my Android based Samsung. Litte things like having no arrow key on the app based keyboard make simple Android tasks like editing a word cumbersome. My next tablet will be a Samsung.
