    This is a top rated tablet and rightly so. Quick response with no lag in running multiple items. Great screen size and light to carry around and hold for extended periods of time. You have the Apple name and quality and plenty of apps. You are in the Apple world though so to speak a bit different than windows or Android but easy to figure out.

    The tablet is extremely fast and the new multi-tasking features included with iOS 9 make it even better. The display is stunning and it is very light. The only issue I had is I got the 16GB originally, but you'll definitely want to upgrade to the 64GB. You don't want to be limited to storage capabilities. You won't be let down!

    A great tablet that continues to raise the bar

    The Good: The iPad Air 2 has a great balance of size and weight. Crisp, bright display. iOS 9 runs perfectly, including split-screen apps. The Bad: Priced relatively high for a tablet; used to resist paying additional cost for Apple products. Apple continues to make great tablets. Having used Android and Apple tablets, the Ipad series continues to be the better tablet. Ipad air 2, better performance/more responsive. The main reason to recommend the Air 2 over all other iPads is it strikes the perfect balance between a reading/playing/viewing tablet and something a bit more productive. It can be carried pretty easily in one hand and feels like reading a book. Magazines and feature articles look good on its screen. Watching Netflix provides a good screen size, looks sharp. IOS 9 runs great which includes all of the latest features, including split screen and finger print access.

    I got this iPad for a great price for their 4-hour sale and the performance, display, and especially the weight for the size is superb. As thin as it is, the battery life is amazing. Worth the the upgrade from the first generation iPad Air.

    I was looking to upgrade from my iPad 2 when I purchased the iPad Air 2. Having had an iPhone 6 already, it was tough going from a Retina display to a non-retina display. My iPad 2 was starting to get laggy too. The Air 2 has surpassed my expectations. It's extremely lightweight and fast. It's a powerful tablet to say the least. There IS a fairly significant vibration felt when the volume is half way up and higher due to the thin profile of the chassis, but it wasn't a big deal for me since I don't play music on it, and whenever I do watch movies or video I use my Bose earbuds, which are far superior in sound quality anyway. This also gets me around the vibration "issue". I wouldn't let this hinder you, however, from purchasing an otherwise great unit.

    Didn't think I would like Apple products, I decided to purchase it because my daughter really like hers. After I started using it, it performs get. It is fast & pictures are very clear. The only problem I see myself not liking is how you get on the internet. I love that it is thin & lite weight. It is also easy to flow from one area to another. For a first time user of the Apple I'm very impressed.

    Satisfied College Student

    I've had the iPad Air 2 for two months now. As a college student, I use it for web browsing, streaming videos, reading/notes, and light games. Performance for me has been great with no stutters. Friends like to point out how lightweight it is, and the screen feels like the perfect size for any activity. Syncing with my iPhone/iCloud has been easy, and AirDrop has been useful for quickly sharing anything with other Apple devices. I have not yet installed iOS10. This iPad is expensive, however, and others with my level of usage would probably be just as satisfied with a different tablet (I decided to splurge). Also, there is no expandable storage. This made me hesitant at first, but I decided 16GB should be enough for my usage.

    iPad feels pretty close to perfection. And the iPad Air 2 hasn't done all that much to change the equation. It's even thinner than last year's version. It has a faster processor. It has improved cameras. It has a Touch ID sensor. It has an anti-reflective display.

    Great tablet

    We own 4 generations of the Apple iPad devices. They are the iPad 2, the iPad3, the iPad Air and the iPad Air 2. We each use the tablets about 8 hours per day for photography editing, video taking and editing and working on the internet. I am extremely familiar with the products and we own a total of 16 tablets using Apple, HP and Android technologies. In my attached video I have tried to do a comparison between several of the product generations and the overall performance. Physically the iPad Air 2 is about the same, appearance wise, to the iPad Air. If you look closely you will see some differences. * The iPad Air 2 is 18% thinner and a little lighter in weight. * The Retina display is better as it is thinner and the colors and clarity is much better to my eyes. The parallax side views are clearer and the colors are deeper and more realistic. It still has 264 pixels per inch and it is an excellent video device. * The iPad Air 2 has the newer finger print sensor on the home button. * The rear facing camera is in a different location on the back of the tablet and so your iPad Air cases will not work as they will interfere with your taking photos. * The microphone ports on the tablet have moved and I show the new locations in my video. * The portal holes for the stereo speakers are just one row now and larger and the speakers are louder sounding. Not a major difference but it is noticeable. * The slide switch on the side of the tablet for the mute/screen lock rotate is gone now. You have to make those adjustments in the operating system of the tablet now or use the sound volume switches. The major differences in the tablet are the ones regarding performance. The CPU and GPU in the iPad Air are just very powerful.

    i love my new ipad air 2! it is fast, no lag and the screen is beautiful. i was picking between ipad air 2 and the samsung galaxy tab S 10.5 but after testing both products at the store and even asking several different employees between both as well. better performance and quality than samsung. i played with both at the store the samsung screen was laggy.

    This is easily my favorite piece of technology. My previous tablet was a first generation iPad Mini and I loved it. The larger surface area took a little getting used to but it is soooo nice. I really enjoy the fingerprint sensing technology as well. No more typing passwords to log in or make purchases. The camera improvements are both welcome and noticeable. This tablet performs well for both professional as well as personal use.

    This is a great product. It's very thin and light. I can take it to classes with unnoticeable weight change of my backpack. It's very powerful and can run matlab/texwriter/wolfram alpha etc which are essential to my studies. I bought Belkin Qode Ultimate keyboard with it And it's very efficient not only in typing but also those shortcuts can be summoned with long press of command button. Nice and neat for everyday use.

    very light weight. Easy to carry, and slim. Screen is big enough to do some productive work. Picture quality is good. Good for watching movie. Split view is good. Apps can be placed side-by-side. It is little faster as well and performance is good. Nice feature of fingerprint scanner. with keyboard accessory, it is a great portable and easy to write.

    Functionally, the iPad Air is nearly identical to last year’s model, offering only faster performance and better video chatting. But factor in design and aesthetics, and the iPad Air is on another planet. It’s the best full-size consumer tablet on the market.
