    iPad Air + iOS26 = Magic

    I’ve always wanted an iPad, but never knew which one to get. I browsed online for a bit, even lookin at places like Facebook Marketplace. Everything looked either over priced or way too used, or both. I browsed online at Best Buy and found this beauty, boasting the same price as used while being NEW and top of its line. I didn’t hesitate and I’ve been super happy with it ever since. I draw a lot with the Apple Pencil Pro and even do business work for my content. iOS 26 really brought a lot to the table too.

    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!

    I have always had an iPad Pro, but wanted something for less money. The iPad Air is perfect, it does everything that the pro does for a lot less money. So happy with my purchase. I love my apple products.

    I love this iPad. It’s light, fast, and easy to use. The screen is bright and clear, and the sound is great for watching shows or video chatting with family. The battery lasts a long time, and it’s a wonderful tablet.

    Just incredible! This iPad with the M3 chip is on another level! Super fast — everything opens instantly and runs smoothly, even with multiple apps open. The screen is gorgeous, with sharp resolution and vibrant colors — perfect for watching videos, working, or just browsing. The battery easily lasts all day, even with heavy use. Plus, it’s really light and thin, so it’s easy to carry around. Definitely one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. Highly recommend it!

    Came in great condition, no problems. Bought it because it aligns with my tasks and it was a great bang for my buck. Delivery was excellent, the driver was very nice. Only 2 weeks into the product, so far so good. :)

    My new iPad is everything I could ask for - great memory, fantastic speed, very accurate, and more. My only concern is the battery life. It doesn’t seem to hold a charge as long as I would like. Nevertheless, it’s a worthy addition to the Apple family!

    Very pleased with the Airs performance and display exceeds what I expected given I also have an iPad 11 Pro having best display 128GB model based on memory used on the 11 Pro. When paired with new Air 11, 2/3 of Air’s memory used up even though I only had 40+ GB used on 11Pro. Had to locally back up pics and connection to iCloud for this 2nd iPad to feel OK with memory margin. I’m 79 but that’s no excuse for memory issues!

    Okay so I just got the new 11-inch iPad Air with the M3 chip, and honestly—it’s awesome. It’s super fast, like I can have notes, Safari, and Spotify all running without it lagging. The Apple Intelligence stuff is lowkey fun too, like making custom emojis or organizing my stuff quicker. It’s really light, fits in my bag no problem, and the battery lasts me the whole day without stressing. The screen looks amazing for Netflix or YouTube, and it’s perfect for reading or sketching too. Only thing is no Face ID, but Touch ID works fine. Definitely worth it for school.

    The obvious comparison is between this Air and the Mini, I've been wondering about this for a while and decided on the Air, mainly because I got the chance to work with the mini for a brief time and I found it too small for long notes.

    The Apple iPad Air M3 is a steal for $450. You are getting a "Laptop" grade processor with the convenience of a tablet. With iPad OS 26, you can open multiple windows and resize/locate them, access taskbars, and multitask with ease.

    This iPad is amazing. It’s perfect for anyone who either wants to do a little more than surf the internet and check emails. The price difference from the regular iPad gives it not only more power and better game play but also longevity. It truly hits a sweet spot of price, function and longevity. The new keyboard makes this the ideal device for college, home or even work.

    I enjoy using the IPad Apple - 11. The IPad provides many useful applications to get everyday tasks. The IPad Air 11 camera has a beautiful lens. The reason for my enjoyment is because I can write my college notes in my IPad; not have to worry about saving my college notes on Computer.
