    This is my third iPad, and I have literally worn them out! The second one had much less memory, and I found that it was not enough. I am on my iPad a lot, since I play games, do research, create documents and presentations, do jigsaw puzzles, and read books. This new one has much more memory, and I love the new features.

    I would totally recommend this tablet its better than the Samsung tablet. A lot quicker and don't have as much problems like I did with my Samsung always freezing up on me. Apple products are the best and they truly stand behind there products.

    I usually want the latest model of electronics but after talking to many sales people and reading reviews realized that the new pro models are more for professionals at their jobs. The 10 inch size was appealing but really not worth the extra cost. This one is still bigger cause the frame is narrower on top and bottom

    This is a great product from Apple. The screen is fantastic. We purchased the maximum storage capability. Performs well, only occasionally do we miss not having a cellular device.

    I love my IPad. User friendly and virus resistant. This is my third one and I tell everyone thinking about purchasing one to please go check out IPad first. More than likely looking any further will be unnecessary.! Love the way the apps show up on the screen. So user friendly after one day you’ll be a pro.

    I love this iPad! I was between buying a mac or an iPad and I'm so glad I went with the iPad. It's light, fast, and has a great screen. It also has the ability to do split screen with apps which makes it so useful for multitasking. I traded in my old iPad for a $100 gift card towards my new one, and it was worth it!

    I needed something that I could take on the go, yet had all of the functionality of a laptop computer. This was it! I can type and print documents, I can watch movies and show, I can take awesome photos and videos, and I can keep in touch with everyone. This iPad has become an essential device for me.

    This purchase was made to replace a similar item that has been provided by my employer. As one who has used an iPad for the past several years, I made the decision to purchase the 128GB model as I store lots of pictures on this iPad. I have been happy with my other two models and expect this one to be even better.

    I'm a graphic design student, and wanted something that allowed me to draw without a notebook. I don't love computers with touch screens (not really sure why, they just don't appeal to me as much), so I'd been looking pretty intensely at tablets. I was between an Asus ZenPad, a Samsung Galaxy, and the iPad. It took literal months of coming into the store, testing all of them, and leaving saying "I just have so much more research to do". In my research, I found that the iPad was going to be the best value for me, especially since I want to eventually have a MacBook Pro. So, I bought it! The 9.7" is a great size; big enough to really see what you're doing, but not so big that it feels clunky. Personally, I like that it's a little thicker than the newer iPads; it's easier to grip. If you're looking to do a lot of intensive Photoshop, Illustrator, etc. work, just get a full-blown computer. But, if you're looking for something mobile to supplement your current computer, or if you want something more casual, this is the tablet for you.
