    I picked up the new iPad Air with the M3 chip and it has been one of the smoothest Apple devices I’ve used. The speed is noticeable right away. Apps open instantly, multitasking feels effortless, and even heavier apps like photo editing or drawing run without any lag. It genuinely feels like a mini laptop when I need it to, but still has the convenience of a tablet. The size is perfect. Eleven inches is big enough to watch videos, read, or work comfortably, but still light enough to hold for long periods. The design is thin and feels premium, and the blue color looks even better in person. The screen is sharp and bright, and everything looks clean and smooth on it. Battery life has been impressive. I’ve used it for streaming, emails, notes, and browsing throughout the day and still had plenty of charge left at night. It easily keeps up with a full day of mixed use. I also like how well it works with the rest of my Apple devices. AirDrop, iCloud, Messages, everything syncs instantly. It makes switching between my phone, laptop, and this iPad really easy. The 128GB is enough for my needs since most of what I do is cloud based, but the performance alone makes this model feel like a big upgrade from older iPad versions. Overall, the M3 chip makes this iPad Air feel incredibly fast and reliable. It’s lightweight, powerful, and convenient for both productivity and entertainment. If you want something that does a little bit of everything without going all the way up to the Pro line, this is definitely the one to get.

    I had an iPad Air that was 6 years old with a portal that was defective and would have cost more to repair than purchasing a new one and since I love the color purple, this mid model with 124 GB came in purple as well as having a M3 chip! Fantastic upgrade and price. Thank you Best Buy for the sale and I also purchased a purple Speck case for my purple iPad!

    My old 2019 iPad 9th gen had started freezing up, with apps crashing and the touch screen becoming unresponsive. The storage was barely have full, but i was constantly having to do a hard reset, which didn’t help anything. So i traded it for the new iPad Air M3. With the sale price and my trade in I got it an excellent deal. The hype is real! I had cataract surgery earlier this year. Even with that the difference in resolution was amazing to thses old eyes. Clearer, text, faster response, not to mention double the storage. Transfering from backup was quick and simple. I am very happy.

    If you want a stylus that truly elevates note-taking, illustration, and design work on newer iPads, the Apple Pencil Pro is a top-tier choice. It builds on the strengths of prior Apple Pencils and adds a set of thoughtful features that make interactions more intuitive, creative, and productive.

    This iPad is perfect for taking college notes and was very easy to obtain. The guy who helped me get the iPad and the Apple Pencil pro was very useful, and quick with his work. He made Best Buy and obtaining this device super easy with how easygoing and approachable he was
