    Apple did it again! Upgrading to the new iPad Air2 to increase memory. The Air 2 is lighter and faster. I find that it charges faster and holds its charge longer. I'm just now starting to use the included word processor Pages. I'm hopeful that with the increased memory, use of the Cloud and use of Pages I can use the iPad Air for most of my typing. Love the size and speed. So glad I upgraded! Service at Best Buy was great and I'm glad to know I can stop in with any questions I have.

    The newest iPad, the iPad Air 2 may just seem to be a slightly thinner version of the last generation iPad Air, but the refreshed internals and improved display are really a big step up. I can't believe this thing is thinner than my iPhone 6 Plus! It's nearly as light too and my wrists don't get tired even holding it for hours reading. I'm very impressed at the screen's brightness, even in outdoor lighting situations. For a tablet, the speakers are quite worthy, although they'll likely pale in comparison to any dedicated wireless bluetooth speaker or other stereo setup. In all, I'd highly recommend this model to anyone trying to decide whether to pay the extra $100 over the iPad Air.

    I bought the Apple IPad Air 2 128GB to go with the DJI INSPIRE 1 QuadCopter; I wanted the biggest screen that it supports, best quality picture, fast processor, and plenty of memory storage for a couple of videos and a few pictures, so I am very happy with this IPad. And that's not all, this iPad does everything: all of my Bible and spiritual literature, music, clock/alarms, notes, flashlight, calendar, calculator, NetFlix, magazine subscriptions, email, video chat, maps (which also works with the QuadCopter). It goes with me nearly everywhere I go and I use it constantly in every day life. Life can function without out an IPad but this brings us out of the Stone Age.

    Although you can get tablets cheaper these days, you won't find a tablet this responsive or beautiful. You will catch yourself just looking at it when you take it out of the box. When you pick it up, it just feels like you are holding a luxury item. I still find it hard to believe that something so thin could be so powerful. Every time I use it I feel like I'm in some sort of futuristic sci-if movie. What will Apple think of next? The iPad Air is a little rough on the pocketbook, but once you get over the purchase price you won't know how you lived without it! Start installing apps and you'll never go back to a cheaper tablet. Now if I can just keep my kids away from it.

    I upgraded to the iPad Air 2 from a iPad mini 3 and I'm really glad I did, This iPad is fast, The battery last a long time also charges fast. Im a heavy user with tons of apps downloaded and still have lots of space left, I use it for work and personal use the slim design and how light it is works great for taking it everywhere with me I recommend this over the Pro model if you don't need the apple pen capability.

    Love the iPad Air 2

    I have the iPad 2 with only 16 gb of storage (non air 2011 - Purchased new in 2013). So I was very excited to use my Gift Certificate for the iPad Air 2 128gb. I waited until Black Friday (my birthday was in Sept so it was not easy; patience is not my virtue) and I got an incredible deal. I could not be happier. No more seeing, "Storage is low" etc. I have filled it with so many apps and pictures. The rear 8 megapixel camera is a great improvement. People always comment on how nice the pics are. Love how light it is also. So much less bulky and I even have an Otterbox case on it. I wanted to keep it sleek and beautiful but fear breaking it so it is ensconced in plastic/rubber. My iPad 2 has it also and I highly recommend it for the Air. Does not add barely any weight. Since I jumped from the 2nd generation iPad I see a great difference. For me this was an obvious and excellent choice. Pros (Especially over the iPad 2): Retina Display Resolution (1,536 x 2,048) Lightness Storage is plentiful Very attractive Fast 1.5g ghz A8X chip vs 1 ghz A5 Fingerprint Sensor Speakers are much better 2 gb of Ram vs 512 mb Cons: The switch on the side of the tablet for the mute/screen lock rotate is gone 6-digit password takes some getting used to but there is the fingerprint sensor... In a nutshell I made a huge jump but I could see this being an improvement even over the iPad Air 1.

    The IPAD Air 2 represents a significant improvement over my old its generation I-Pad. The camera is really nice and having face time to chat with the family is great.

    This is our very first iPad, and we are extremely happy with it. We are iPhone users, so it was great to be able to use the same Apps we have on our phones but with a much larger screen. We got the larger hard drive so we don't run out of space like we have on our phones. It took a little bit to get used to taking pictures with it so they are in focus, but it does take great pictures. The only thing we have had an issue with is the Touch ID. It always works for my husband, but almost never works for me. I'm used to entering a passcode on my phone though, so it doesn't really matter.

    An upgrade worth the cost

    I purchased my iPad "new" (Also known as 3) a while back and I haven't seen anything that would indicate that an upgrade was needed. A few month back I noticed some newer apps seem to struggle more with the iPad and so I started looking to replace it. Purchasing the iPad Air 2 was a no brainer for me. My information and files just show up from the cloud, the new device is so snappy and things seem to happen as you tap on them with no delay. Watching netflix is still a pleasure. I cannot complain its a great device and I will likely buy another in 3 or 4 years.

    This is about my new iPad Air 2, with twice the memory of my old iPad 2. I've long been a fan of Apple, and am migrating more toward Apple products after having used Android devices in the past. Although I miss some of the Android features (memory cards especially), the amount of memory in the new iPad 2 Air makes up for it. The images are much cleaner than my old iPad 2; it operates quicker; it charges faster and the battery life is much longer between charges. I'm VERY happy with my new iPad Air 2! (Getting it on sale was an even better perk!!!)

    I had purchased this on Black Friday.. Best Buy had the best deal - $100 off with 18 month free financing. I was looking to replace my iPad 2 which was getting a little sluggish, especially after the last few updates. That one was a 64GB with WiFi and Cellular, which I rarely activated because I have WiFi. I got the iPad Air 2 in gold with 128GB with WiFi as I felt I needed more storage. It is wonderful, love the lightness with the look and feel. The speed is amazing, and the graphics are crisper. So glad I upgraded, it was worth the investment to me.

    Purchased the iPad air 2 128GB Celluar, Christmas /2014. I am very happy with my purchase. At first I did not believe that I need so much space, but after I received it n was so excited that I could not put it down I was searching everything. It's fast. The set up was simple, no complaints at all. Can't wait to get home so I can be Wi - Fi on Verizon network! Go ahead treat yourself! The Gold is so pretty as well. I will advise to get yourself a case/cover to protect your investment. The the speakers are great to. betray is amazing ....

    Apple iPad Air 2 is Almost Perfect

    Just unpacked my new 128GB Apple iPad Air 2 and absolutely love it. I loaded 3 years of apps and still have 50% space available. The aps are running very fast too. The best thing i cannot wait to have is the long due SPLIT SCREEN when IOS 9 arrives next month. Only on the IPadAIr2 and next gen iPads. This an add-on that will Finally make the iPad into a viable tool. I also purchased Apple's Smart case. With the lower weight of my iPad Air 2 the Smart Case brings it under 1lb. Try that Microsoft Surface!

    I own the iPad 2 which only had 32GB of space. I wanted to upgrade to a newer iPad with lots more space and this fit the ticket. It's uber thin, and lightning fast. Normally I always purchase black but took the leap and got it in white with the gold trim. I have to say, I really like the white. So far no problems out the box, and have enjoyed this iPad almost daily. Although a little pricey compared to other tablets, I got this one during the holidays at an excellent sale price at Best Buy.

    My iPad Air 2 Wi-Fi 128GB (Gold) has proven to be a great upgrade from my previous iPad, which was an iPad with retina display. The 128 GB capacity absorbs all my content, and has ample remaining space. The display is definitely a step up from older iPads as well, and it has an awesome slim design. I definitely recommend this product if you're either new to the iPad or simply looking to upgrade.

    I've had an iPad since they were first released. I always upgrade to the latest version and sell the gently used version on Craiglist. This upgrade has been the easiest. I didn't restore from the cloud backup, as I wanted to pare down some apps to the essentials. This iPad is VERY speedy and user-friendly as is now the standard established by Apple. The camera is optics are a nice enhancement over the previous version. All in all, another great upgrade from Apple!
