The screen and the back are somewhat detached. The battery does not last long at all. Not sure if it was broken during shipment or if that is just how it came but I am not super satisfied with my purchase.

The Best Buy refurbished program is a great help to people on a budget. Quality items that are less expensive than new. This review is more about the customer service we received than the item itself. Our iPad had a deep scratch/crack in the glass when we received it. Even though we ordered it online we returned if to the store. There were no questions asked with our return. The money was returned to the credit card so we could go back on line and order a replacement as refurbished items are not sold in stores. No complaints, we will order again from the refurbished program with no worries because Best Buys customer service is excellent.

The iPad Air sits in a sweet spot between Apple’s entry-level iPad and the premium iPad Pro, offering power, portability, and versatility without the highest price tag.
Design & Display:
The iPad Air carries Apple’s sleek, lightweight design with thin bezels and a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display. The screen is sharp, bright, and supports True Tone and P3 wide color, making it excellent for streaming, browsing, and creative work. While it doesn’t reach the 120Hz ProMotion refresh rate of the iPad Pro, it’s still very smooth for everyday use.
Performance:
Powered by Apple’s M1 chip (depending on the generation you’re considering), the iPad Air delivers performance that rivals laptops. It handles multitasking, gaming, video editing, and productivity apps effortlessly. For students, professionals, or casual users, it provides more than enough power for day-to-day and creative tasks.
Accessories & Productivity:
The iPad Air works seamlessly with the 2nd-gen Apple Pencil and the Magic Keyboard, which makes it a strong laptop replacement for many users. Taking notes, drawing, and typing all feel natural and responsive. It’s especially appealing to students, digital artists, or anyone who wants a more portable computer.
Cameras & Audio:
It includes a 12MP rear camera and a 12MP ultra-wide front camera with Center Stage, which automatically adjusts the frame during video calls—great for FaceTime, Zoom, and online meetings. The camera system isn’t on par with an iPhone, but it’s solid for scanning documents and casual photography. Stereo speakers deliver clear, balanced sound.
Battery Life:
The iPad Air lasts around 10 hours on a single charge, making it reliable for all-day use whether you’re working, watching movies, or gaming.
Value:
The iPad Air offers an ideal middle ground—more power than the standard iPad, but at a lower price than the iPad Pro. It’s perfect for users who want premium features without going all-in on the Pro line.
