    This iPad is much less expensive than previous models but runs just as good. I thought it might be heavy but it is pretty light.

    Excellent Tablet

    I bought this iPad to replace my wife's ancient iPad 2. That old unit was still functioning but since it came out in 2011 it was beginning to show its age. It only had one speaker which did not play music very well. Also the screen was not the best for viewing or reading anything for extended periods of time. My wife had purchased that iPad 2 to replace her old laptop and absolutely loved using a tablet instead of a full computer or laptop. As soon as Apple released these new models last year, I knew I would grab one for Christmas. As luck would have it Best Buy also sent me a coupon due to prior purchases and then they had a sale which reduced the price of this iPad even further. I went to the store and played around with it and was immediately sold on it. I also played with the more powerful iPad Pro models but those seemed a bit much for my wife's simple uses. Now in addition to playing with Facebook and doing the online banking, my wife also watches some TV shows and movies on the gorgeous clear screen. It is a much brighter and clearer screen than the older iPad. I've read some reviewes that say that Apple cut corners on the display to keep the price down. I can say without question the display is very sharp and colorful and watching TV show or movie on it is very easy on the eyes. The only time there is difficulty is if using the iPad in the direct sunlight as that will kind of wash out the screen. I can't fault Apple or the iPad itself for this since direct sunlight will wash out pretty much any display - even the ones which are in cars. Don't let that dissuade you from picking one of these up for yourself. My wife also had me load some of her music on it and the two speakers on this machine just crank out the sound clear and strong enough to fill the living room or kitchen. Plus the kids will often grab it and play one of their games/apps on it and it gets heavy usage on car rides. We do not have any film or shield on the display screen and I will say it does pick up fingerprints after awhile. However any chamois cloth or one of the small towel things used to clean eye glasses will instantly removes the finger prints. Apple also includes a small cleaning cloth in the box. I would certainly recommend getting a decent case to protect the device when it is not in use. The on screen keyboard is OK for typing in short bursts but if you plan on doing a fair amount of writing then grab a keyboard case or even a bluetooth keyboard. Any model will work (we have an old Logitech that works perfectly). My wife bought a case that completely hugs the iPad making it look like a book. It can also be propped open on a table or her lap for watching a show on the screen. It's a great product and can, in the right circumstances, be your primary device. Remember that it is a tablet so I couldn't definitively say this would replace a full computer. The only thing I would say this iPad couldn't do well is edit video - but if that's what you do, then this wouldn't be your primary device anyway. Still, I highly recommend this iPad for you or a member of your family. You will not be disappointed.

    I love all things Apple and this is no exception. Best Buy had the best price on it by more than $50 unless you wanted to connect it to a wireless plan. I bought this for my stepdaughter for Christmas and she loves it. It takes great pictures, it’s fast, and all around a great purchase.

    This is my 3rd iPad going back to the original issue and then an iPad Air and now this one. I am in the Apple ecosystem so it makes sense. I gave my 1st one away when I got the Air and that one is still working though pretty slow because the IOS is not as fresh as the iPad Air which is remarkably fast. I will hand that one down now that I have this one. All of the books and pictures are readily available and the new Targus Versa-Vue case I bought fits it just fine. I am a happy camper...

    I purchased this iPad as a gift for my daughter who coach’s softball. The software she uses to gather game stats and analyze player batting technique runs on IOS. She needed a horsepower upgrade but didn’t need a iPad Pro features to get her work done. There is still a place for the iPad in your workflow, you need to understand the work your trying to do and the capability of the tools you have to choose from. This iPad paired with her MacBook Pro allow her to get all of her jobs done!
