I switched from a Kindle Fire to the 9.7 version of the iPad and I'm so glad I did. This tablet runs all of the apps I need perfectly without graphics glitches or slowdowns, and it's finally priced very competitively with other tablets with similar specs. The generic stylus I have works pretty well too, so I can use this iPad for taking notes too. I've downloaded and started using more apps than I thought I would, so the decision to buy the iPad with more storage space was a good one. The apps available from Microsoft and Google are very well done so I'm not tied completely into Apple if I don't want to be, and that's a major plus. Overall, I love my first iPad!

This iPad is great! It is really fast, bringing up my Apps perfectly and surfs the web with ease. I love the fact that it has cellular capabilities in case I need it when away from a WiFi network. It hasn’t missed a beat on anything since I’ve had it. Fast, dependable and versatile describe this great iPad. I highly recommend it.

When the iPad (2017) was announced I made immediate plans to buy one. I use them in my small business, and I needed to upgrade from 2 older iPad 2's. I already had an Air ( gen 5), so this newest one was especially appealing since I already had cases and keyboards to fit, because this newest one is exactly the same size as my Air. Back when I bought my gen 5, a 128gb, 4G LTE was about $950, while this one with identical storage and 4 G, was less than $600. There has never , ever been a better time to buy an iPad. 32gb standard instead of 16, all for $80 less. Having a lot of iPad experience, I can't think of a reason for most people to plunk down a fortune for the 9.7, or the just announced 10.5 pro. Way to go Apple!

This iPad was purchased for development and testing of our event check in system. As a developer, I spend little time on tablets themselves - I prefer a "real computer." After spending a couple of weeks logging hours of user testing and light development tasks on this iPad I'm wondering why I don't have one on my desk all the time! And the event check-in... Flawless! Easy for volunteers and staff to use with just a couple minutes of explanation. Quick, responsive, attendee friendly, convenient. Love everything about this system.

This iPad was purchased to replace my wife's ancient iPad Mini which had aged out to the point of being more frustrating than useful. The new iPad, which has both WiFi and cellular capability is fast and capable and has returned the fun factor in spades.

Got this to replace my 6 yr. old iPad which still works but had gotten somewhat slower. This one is much faster and holds the charge much longer. Like unlocking with fingerprint.

This is my 3rd iPad, it replaces my retina one aka iPad 4. I am very happy with the performance and have had no issues with overall performance. It loads everything quickly and switches nicely between wifi and cellular.
Battery life is excellent even with push notifications and other battery hungry settings turned on.
The speakers are a bit lacking so I use a Bluetooth speaker or headphones when I want better sound. It works well for videos and such however not so great for music. That being said, the iPad Pro is supposed to have better speakers however for the price difference, I will use external speakers and be very satisfied.

Replaced an older iPad 3 with this iPad. Much lighter weight and improved battery life. The touch security feature saves time.

This is a great iPad with most of the latest features of the iPad Pro. The camera is great. Really clear pics. It is so much lighter than my prior iPad (one of the originals). SO much faster!

This is my 3rd iPad, and definitely the best one yet. The screen is absolutely beautiful. The colors are so vivid! I am completely satisfied with this iPad. I was afraid that I would regret not spending the extra money to move up to the other iPad with all the toys, but I do not regret that decision at all. This one has everything I need. I tend to store a lot of music on my iPad, and keep my pictures on it forever, so I needed more storage. This one will have all the storage I need for a long time. And did I mention that the colors and the screen are gorgeous? Definitely beyond my expectations.

I have an iPhone but had purchased a Microsoft surface tablet a couple years ago because I needed a regular flash drive for a project I was working on. He kept telling me how he loved his iPad so I finally did it. I have not had it very long but since its just like my phone its pretty ez! And now the pictures on my phone can be saved right to it!

Decent iPad. Very fast. I just wish that they would make the smart keyboards compatible with the regular iPads and not just the iPad Pros.
