I spent years trying to make cheap mini Android tablets work. I loved both versions of the Nexus 7 but Google killed them off. I tried others but the terrible update process and short shelf life of the devices eventually had me looking to Apple. I eventually bought an iPad Mini 2 and I instantly fell back in love with iOS. There is a reason iPad is the leader in tablet devices. It is so much better. I recently switched from Android to an iPhone 7 Plus and while I still liked my mini the screen size difference between that and the phone made it kind of silly to us both. Meanwhile I wanted more real estate for movies and for my daughter's school games. Enter the new 2017 iPad. A full sized tablet at a great price. I traded in my mini (Best Buy paid top dollar) and I am so glad I did. The new iPad is buttery smooth in performance, has a great screen, dual windows makes productivity a little easier and Touch ID is awesome. I have fully embraced the Apple ecosystem with the iPhone, Watch, desktop Mac and hopefully in the next few months will get a MacBook. Life in the Appleverse is awesome! Keychain makes my password management a breeze, iCloud Drive puts all my files where I can get to them. Sure I still use other services like Google Photos but that works across everything as well. Life is sweet in Appleville and I am glad I ditched Android. Sure the new iPad doesn't have some of the fit and finish of the iPad Air 2. If you own that tablet I wouldn't switch. If you are new to iPad or have a previous generation this is the device for you. The iPad keyboard would be nice but I have no use for the Apple pencil. So getting this over a Pro was an easy choice for me. With apps like duet display I can use this as a second laptop screen when out and about or just set it up and devote the tablet to specific work related tasks. Can this or a Pro replace a laptop? Not for me, not yet. I can say it is getting there and there are ways of using it to enhance what I do for work even though it cannot take over for a laptop or desktop. In short I say go out and grab this iPad, it is great!

Awesome tablet and right price. I’m always a fan of apple products. My wife love it. Light, sharp and fast.

Its fast. Its got plenty of memory. Its lighter than previous versions. The battery seems to last 20 hrs before needing recharging which is a huge improvement over previous versions. The price is very affordable. Buy it you wont be disapointed.

Love my new iPad! It’s fast, Light, easy to set up and the perfect size!

Easy to use and super fast. Love the large screen and super camera.

This iPad is a great iPad for those looking to try out the new iPads. Plenty of storage for new users and battery life is wonderful. Screen is apples trademark Retina display that helps keep everything crisp and clear. Great color pallet when viewing images. Only knock is that there is only 2 core processors where the older (and similarly priced model has 3 processors). I notice it when using fiMovie to render a movie and do some edits. My older iPad Air 2 works much faster. Other than that, it’s a great iPad for those just getting into tablets. Inexpensive, quality worksmanship and light weight. Recommend a rugged case to protect it if you have clumsy hands or kids using it.

This device is very easy to use. Battery life is excellent. Internet access is easy to obtain with this device. Great storage for photos and videos. I have had another IPad for several years so the new purchase is for my wife. Very good picture when watching TV from the device. Easy to use and ver useful as a social tool

This iPad is fast with the A9 chip. At 270.00 on sale it was a great price. People on eBay were charging more for a used iPad 4. Picture is crisp and the iPad is light. I use mine when I fry my inspire one and it transmits a great picture. If you are looking for a great product at a great price buy this iPad.

Im glad that Apple made such affordable iPad! It is fast, has great screen and price less then $300 with taxes on this holidays. You dont have to spend a lot of money for the Pro version that is priced over $800! Its a great iPad for the price / quality!

I'm not an Apple fan, but I have to admit the quality of the iPad is unquestionable, it works perfect, simply great. The screen quality is outstanding as well as the quality of the images. Did I mention the price? $279, excellent.

I purchased this as an upgrade from my iPad Air, which I had for 3 years. I love the touch ID, which was not a feature on the AIr. It is very sensitive and always picks up my print on the first try. The speed is also noticeably faster, and there is almost zero loading time for web pages. Games and apps load much faster as well. The speed of loading on my iPad Air was never a complaint as it was also very fast, so the increase is just a pleasant surprise. The battery life is even better than the Air as well, which again was never a complaint as the battery lasted days on end for me. I charged this the day I opened the box, which was over a week ago, and I have yet to need to charge it again. Overall, I can't find any negative to mention. Great purchase.

This is a wonderful upgrade from my iPad mini version 2. My mini had stopped updating the iOS at 9.2 and was just generally slow. Loving the bigger screen and speed. The Black Friday price made it that much sweeter.

Black Friday deal, and very happy with it. Had planned to buy iPad mini 4, but they were sold out. Very pleased with the 9.7 inch iPad. Great size, light weight, fast, and so far happy with everything about it.

Purchased for wife too use in her speech therapy. Loaded two apps for her to use and she is doing very well for someone that isn't computer savvy. Battery life is great, it's fast, and easy for her to use.

I use my I pad for work as well as for personal business. It has a great camera and takes beautiful photos. I take it everywhere and its lightweight and just the right size to carry around in my handbag.

My three year old I-pad Air had a minor crack in the screen which I could live with, but then the battery failed so it was time for a replacement. This new one is just as light as the old Air but packs twice the memory. Apple includes a suite of Microsoft Office type applications including Keynote which is a presentation tool like Power Point. However, Power Point has more pizzaz with various screen effects for transitioning slides. I will stick with Power Point. Also included is Numbers Spreadsheet and Pages, a word processor. As I already have MS Word and Excel, Numbers, Pages and Keynote are redundant for me. Overall, the new I-Pad does what I need it to.

I love my 2014 iPad Air 2. But when you see a good deal then you have to go for it. I went to Bestbuy and traded in my old iPad Air 2 and received $150+ and a gift card. I also received a $25 promotional gift card from them after I have purchased the new iPad. Plus I received Bestbuy reward points from both transactions. I knew the iPad (469g) weight more than the iPad Air 2 (437g). It is only 7% heavier. I will lose the anti-reflective coating on the iPad. The benefits upgrading to the 2017 iPad is the fast processor and the 32 GB storage. It will support future iOS version. No regrets. Goodbye to the discontinued iPad Air 2.

Upgrade for a previous iPad. Right away you will notice the difference in the weight, much lighter to hold. The speed is twice that of my old one and the storage is doubled!

Purchased this iPad on sale during Black Friday to use in the home for streaming TV, movies, games, and web browsing. For basic day-to-day tasks this tablet fits the bill. I tested this iPad vs the Pro 10.5 version and the Pro definitely has more power behind it and smoother graphics...I'm also expecting an updated iPad model to be released sometime in Spring 2018. The upgrades on this version are pretty standard but was hoping for a better processor, sleeker design, and bit better graphics. Ideally wish Apple would make a model in-between this and the Pro for ~$499 for people who want more juice in their iPad for movies and games but don't need the bells and whistles for productivity tasks, e-pencil, keyboard, and apps that use high rendering. All in all this tablet is still very snappy for most tasks, Retina screen is best in class, and iOS is the best tablet UI around. I will say the iPad 9.7 is the best tablet value you can get.

Upgraded from a 16GB IPAD because of storage issues. Now I can download more games. Also it is much faster and holds the battery charge much longer.
