    The tablet is built with quality and the LTE / 5G is active without any issue, check out t-mobile’s offer for $10/ 5gb over 150days as a “placeholder” if you’re not interested in a long term data plan.

    I recently purchased the 13’’ iPad Air with the M2 chip from Best Buy, and it has been an outstanding addition to my tech lineup. The performance is incredible — the M2 chip makes everything from multitasking to creative work like photo and video editing lightning-fast. Apps open instantly, and even resource-heavy tasks feel effortless. The Liquid Retina display is stunning, providing bright, sharp, and vibrant visuals, which makes it perfect for streaming content, graphic design, and reading. It’s lightweight and easy to carry around, so I can take it anywhere without a second thought. Paired with the Apple Pencil (2nd generation) and Magic Keyboard, it transforms into a mini laptop, great for productivity and creative work. Battery life has been impressive as well, lasting me through a full day of use without needing a recharge. It seamlessly integrates with all my Apple devices, making it easy to share files, notes, and more across my ecosystem. This iPad truly offers the best of power, portability, and versatility — highly recommended!”

    Sleek, stylish and fast! I recently upgraded to the 13 inch ipad air and haven't looked back. Setup was a breeze, the device works better than imagined, and it's stylish. I bought the 13inch because I read a lot on my ipad and I am happy I did. It's much easier to read on than the smaller ones. Games and apps work smooth and quick as well. The battery life lasts days for me and I'm generally on it 2-3 hours a day.

    My favorite ipad to date. Imo this is the best performance vs value in ipad line up. Excellent performance, battery life, screen quality, etc. Traded smaller m1 air and this unit is big step up. I don't think you can go wrong with this product.

    Apple products never disappoint. It is built to last. iPad Air M2 comes in with a very sleek look similar to the previous models- except this time it is now in a 13 inch. The only thing that bothered me is that when I got this. There is a small dented part by the camera. I returned it and immediately got a new one from Best Buy’s return policy. 60 fps, 2 speakers, Touch ID, never bothered me opposed to the IPad Pro version. These never stopped me from being productive. The only thing I wish is the thunderbolt capabilities. That would be epic for iPad Air as I am basically using this as a laptop and file transferring would be more convenient with the thunderbolt. The nicest thing is being able to just go from iPHone files to iPad and how iCloud sync works. I can just access everything on this IPAD!! Battery life on this is superb. My surface pro 9 could never. Durability is okay as it looks like it can easily bent. Display is nice and bright. Except the 60 fps but it’s cool. I would definitely recommend this product to everyone,

    I decided to get this plus the Magic keyboard instead of getting a laptop. I was happy. I made this decision as I can use this basically as a laptop or remove the keyboard and use it as a regular iPad. The graphics are great and the battery last long time. The keyboard does drain the battery quite a bit faster though.

    I purchased this iPad for the screen size. I got a lot more….the internet loads better than my previous pro and is much faster. I love the larger screen size since us older kids have issues reading small print! We bought a second one the next day and now my oldest sister wants one. We bought one for her today as an early Christmas gift!

    This new IPad Air is definitely a top tier tablet. With this new enlarged screen and powerful chip, I am basically using this as a computer. Although yeah IPad OS is not the most friendly OS for using it as an actual computer, Apple has so many apps that can act as an alternative for you to stay productive and not feel blocked- at least for what I use this for. Battery life is crazy good. It can last for multiple days for normal browsing. I played a round of wild rift and from a full battery only 8% was used. My surface pro 9 could never. LOL. Durability. Well I went from the very first iPad Pro to this. I think Apple has proven that they build their products to last. I never renewed yearly even if they release a new model, cus no need. Display on this is good. kinda sucks it’s only 60 FPS max on IPAD Air but that never bothers me.
