    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!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    i love this ipad! the only minor nitpick i would have is that it’s only 60hz, so after being used to having 160hz on my iphone, i can tell the difference. the ipad pro has 120hz but it is also infinitely more expensive, and i got the ipad air while it was on sale so i think it was the best bang for my buck! i feel like i should have gotten 256gb though, only 128gb doesn’t seem like enough.

    I traded in my old iPad Air 5th gen for this and got a pretty generous trade in deal. I was nervous for this because it was a refurbished item, but it came promptly and with only a few scratches on the top left of the iPad that is barely noticeable. This iPad has been really great for classes and work, and even my acting things. I download the scripts I need and I use it for the music I have to sing and almost in every way the iPad works. It’s also an amazing YouTube machine. But to be honest I didn’t really need to update my iPad only for storage but I decided to go big or go home, and I’m glad for the purchase!

    I am loving this iPad. It is fast, and it seems the battery life is better than the one I had before (5th generation). The color is great and I love that it is light weight because I use it mostly for preaching and teaching.

    Product is perfect, but the shipping experience...

    This iPad is perfect as an artist and writer. Bigger games also work great on it, and they're as smooth as can be. However, if you get OnTrac as your shipper, you better pray for your package. They threw my iPad over the gate, and either they cut open the box or the force broke the tape, because the outer box was open when I went to grab it. I've also heard stories of people stealing packages. Just be careful.

    The workers were very good at showcasing this product but it was just too expensive. I wish I could’ve kept it.. I loved the apple pen feature where it sticks to the ipad easily. i also love how weightless it is!! the air product is easier on your hands when working..

    I just upgraded my 7th gen iPad to this newest iPad Air and the difference is remarkable. The graphics and display are sharper, it’s lighter, and battery life is much improved. I use it along with the Apple Pencil Pro mostly for surfing, reading, coloring, and note taking and it is quick and responsive. Not having a home button is a change, but with the different multitasking views (esp. stage manager) I don’t even miss the home button! If you have an older iPad, take the leap!
