    I love my IPad Air. It’s lightweight and fast and with the Apple keyboard it works as small “computer” to take it with me on a daily basis. I don’t use any advanced features though, my use is for basically videos, writing short docs, internet and other apps I can use with the Apple Pencil.

    Works like a charm, and the perfect device for someone who wants to do it all. Love using it for reading, writing, and art. It’s perfect for those moments I’d rather get on my computer than use my phone for something, without having to sit down at my desk.

    I am a photographer and YouTuber. I was in search of a smaller set up to edit. I already have the IPhone 15 pro and M1 MacBook Pro. I figured to look into this iPad and I’m glad I got it. Lightroom /Photoshop & Davinci runs smoothly on it! I highly recommend!

    I got this ipad to replace my mini 5 for reading and watching shows. I chose this one so I could use the pencil pro and get back into drawing. I love the way it feels and the ui is sleek.

    My favorite IPad I’ve ever owned, the screen in bright, I added a paper-feel like screen protector. Love that the Apple Pencil can charge on the side

    I love the IPad Air! I had the previous one before this and it worked just as great. This one is awesome, it runs smooth and fast. I think it’s worth the money especially for a college student. It’s the best option between something better than the base model but not as expensive as the pro. I love taking notes on this with the Apple Pencil pro!

    The Perfect Balance of Power and Portability

    The 11-inch iPad Air with the M3 chip is insanely fast, lightweight, and built for everyday use. Apps open instantly, the screen looks sharp and vibrant, and the battery easily lasts all day. It’s great for work, sketching, or just relaxing with a show. Unless you need the Pro’s 120Hz display, this is the sweet spot for power and value.

    I’ve replaced my computer with the iPad! The case/keyboard I purchased at the same time was a great addition to my iPad - light. Easy to use and remove when not needed. I don’t know if I’ll ever go back to a desktop!

    I had an old iPad for a very long time. It is so nice to have a new, modern, updated version. I am old (77 years old) and rather technically challenged, but it has been fun learning all the new, updated features!

    This is my first iPad that I have purchased for my new substitute teacher job and it is truly amazing with all of its different features. I was debating between on purchasing this from the Apple Store with its education savings but Best Buy had a better discount and I am glad l purchased it along with an Apple Pencil Pro. The battery life lasts me all day and the M3 chip makes everything run faster and smoothly. I truly recommend this iPad to anyone who wants one for their personal use, job, or educational purposes.

    For those who are looking for functionalities, light weight and quality this is the perfect option. Is like your phone in terms of interface and also like a laptop in terms of visibility, the best of both worlds.

    Went from a 2nd gen iPad Pro12.9 inch to this 1 and I’ve been writing in it since I brought it! I like how compact it is. Replaced all the journals & pens. I’m able to choose different colors from the options avail and don’t have to worry about the ink running out! Battery life is good I usually go 2 weeks without charging… my daily usage is for journaling! It synchs well with my other devices and the speck case is perfect!

    Upgrade from 4th Gen

    Finally upgraded from my 4th gen Air and honestly it’s the best thing I’ve done. I love how much faster the processor is and the fact that I have more space (my 4th gen was only 64GB and couldn’t update anymore) and the battery life (even while using Procreate) is phenomenal!
