Customer Ratings & Reviews

This tablet is everything reviewers said it was. Apple is always a bit higher priced but you get top of the line excellent quality. Also recommended by a friend who likes apple. Which was nice I had the chance to see his iPad in operation and use a bit to get the feel and impression of the Apple OS. I feel Apple has a sort of elegance to its products. This tablet has great resolution and screen quality and is super fast. Light weight and thin nice to use and not get fatigued. iPad air 2 has the newest OS and is quite an improvement over the older iPad which were not iPad airs, speed and weight wise. For Android and Windows users-I find Apple OS and Apps not hard to transition to there is something for everything you need to do and plenty of games. Great screen size just a nice improvement over 7 inch I had before. That little bit larger screen size and iPads sharpness and resolution make a huge difference. Best Buy employees were very friendly and helpful great store.

So exited to have my New IPad Air 2, very thin and faster than my previous IPad Air. Got a a good deal for trading in my iPad Air, got a value of 250 bucks and a 50 bucks coupon towards a new IPad Air 2. So 300 off a new Air 2, plus a 15 bucks gift card. Ended up paying only 211 for my new IPad Air 2. Great Buy!

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.

I'm as quickly as possible moving from the world of Chromwbooks and Androids, to Macs and iOS, as I'm a classical musician who's getting into some experimental electronic media, and my husband is a photographer who's increasingly using electronic editing and such. I bought the iPad Air 2 when it was on sale for $300--only a tad more than my year-old Chromebook, which I'd gotten so frustrated with, I literally decided to smash it. Yeah. (And I'm normally copacetic. As we have another computer, I thought I'd replace my ultimately "disposable" Chromebook with a good tablet I could conveniently use before falling asleep or easily take wherever I go. The only problems are, now & then the touch screen can, at times, be maddeningly nonresponsive. And while I certainly like the 9.6 inch size, it's just slightly too big to hold in one hand--but I'll fix that by finding a case that has a little strap that I can slip my hand into. Otherwise, I really like this solidly built, convenient device--and it's certainly far superior to any Android tablet I've ever used or looked at. Good price--& I caught it just when it went on a decent sale.

I love my new IPad 2.Glad I finally bought an Ipad! It was easy to set up and use. It is lightweight and screen is especially clear and detailed.Gave as a Christmas gift and she hasn't put it down. This is our second ipad purchase and this one is thinner and quicker than the generation prior. It also takes better pics and has better storage ability. I will probably buy another one in a few months for myself.

The iPad air 2 is much thinner and lighter than my old iPad 1. It also is faster and is easy to use. I have installed many of my favorite apps for work and play. The screen size is plenty big enough for watching videos or playing games. Battery life is quite good too.

As a former owner of an iPad 3rd gen (gifted it) I have always enjoyed the form factor but my uses of it for reading at night lead me to the same critique as others- kids too heavy. I purchased an iPad mini to replace the larger one and have really enjoyed it. I just wished it was a larger format. When the iPad Air I almost got it but figured I wait until Apple did its upgrade. This machine is so fast compared with my other iPad experiences, it is only a few ounces more than my iPad mini and the screen is awesome with a lot less glare. It really is a delight.

I like the iPad Air 2 It has an even sleeker design and loaded with nice feature's It is 20 percent thinner and weighs just one pound; the best and lightest on the market. The 9.7-inch Retina display is the perfect size. Not too big and not too small. The A7 chip with M7 motion coprocessor makes it very fast. In-addition, it's ultrafast wireless, powerful apps, and up to 10 hours of battery life makes it a exceptional unit. The over 475,000 apps in the App Store are just a tap away.

Most people are familiar with Apple products nowadays. You can find an iphone, ipod or an ipad in almost every house. In this review I only focus on the differences between the ipad 2 air with the previous generations. Having owned an 3rd generation ipad for 3 years, this was significant jump for me. The size is considerably smaller compared to the old versions with sacrificing the screen size thanks to thinner bezel. As everyone knows the thinner and more efficient hardware resulted in much lighter device which you can feel when holding both in your hands. I was always annoyed by the sharp edges of the older version when I was holding the ipad without a case. this model though has round edges which gives you a far more comfortable feeling. The new A8 processor has been greatly improved. The browsing experience with ipad air 2 is nothing like the old ipads. The pages load much quicker and overall the ipad is a lot more responsive. Clearly with the IOS updates, the older versions which run on slower processors can't keep up with the updates. If you usually use the typical apps (games or whatever) you won't notice much change except the graphics. But if you use your ipad for browsing, the two devices are incomparable. Last but not least, if you have sesitive eyes, you will love this far more because of the anti-glare coating. The laser sharp ceiling light reflections is now mellow! It's not to the point were you can compare it with high quality anti-glare laptops with matte surface, but for a touch screen it is a huge upgrade. I found the best deal out there and used Bestbuy's price match to save the most. Overall, If you have an ipad prior to the air models, I think it is worth the upgrade.

As a senior who is not computer/technology savvy, I decided to have my grandson go with me to BB after showing me the Sale flyer. His B-day is Dec 21, so thought this would be a great way to have him show off his skills and knowledge to me while we had quality time shopping in a retail store together, that had sales clerks he could relate to, and when they did not have an answer for me, they got a clerk that could. Another nice thing was they had a motorized shopping cart, which was helpful as I was using a walker. He decided on a thinner model- a Apple-ipad Air 2- wi fi 16GB in a silver color. What I like best is we also got headphones-now there is no one complaining abt sounds disrupting them. Altho, he now appears to have selective hearing, as he does not appear to hear his name being called.LOL- There are no parts to lose or misplace, like a stylus. It affords him the opportunity to complete homework in just abt any setting as we can pick up wi fi at the Doctors office or McDonalds- so no excuses! He appears to be on it 24/7 and he has an attitude of satisfaction when he completes his endeavors. Thank U Best Buy!

Wife had the iPad 3rd Generation and the Air 2 is so much lighter, thinner and faster. Apps open fast, always reliable, never crashes. The ios system is so stable. Battery life is extremely long. With moderate use, writing email and playing a few games here and there...a full charged battery lasted me a week before having to charge again. Great product with a variety of cases to choose from.

As per me iPad main feature is size that is 9.7 inch. Mini is too small and iPad pro 12 inch is too big. Now provided the size range this is best iPad for this price range . Off course iPad pro is better but if you don't want to pay 400$ extra just for slightly improved chip set and screen quality ( which any how we will not notice ) , this is worth it. Pros: ( like all apple products ) -Good eco system -Light weight -Good camera and screen quality -Abundance of accessories in market Cons( again like any other apple product ) - difficult o move anything in or out the system , data copy , songs copy - Need iTunes for everything Having said that the iPad does all the purpose of a tablet and fills the gap of perfect tab .

Love this iPad Air 2! This is a great size and weight for a tablet. It has an excellent battery life. Although if you plan on storing music, pics or downloading a lot of apps I would recommend going with the 64 or 128gb version. Works great for what i use it for.

The Apple IPad Air 2 features a 9.7″ Retina display, 2048-by-1536-pixel resolution at 264 ppi, A8X chip with 64 bit archetecture and M8 motion coprocessor. This device also features Touch ID made possible by the Fingerprint identity sensor built into the Home button. I am very impressed with the design and build quality of this device. This device not only meets the standards of quality that is expected from Apple products but it is also very lightweight and comfortable to hold. The picture quality of the retina display is stunning. The visuals of movies, games and media web content all look amazing. I am also very pleased with the speed of this device. Thus far all of the apps and games that I use on this device opens smoothly and run very well. I coupled this device with the ZAGGfolio Bluetooth Keyboard Case and it works absolutely wonderful. I am able to create and edit my blog posts using WordPress. I am also able to create and edit documents and presentations using Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint on my IPad.The keyboard adds more functionality. The battery life is also very good. I am able to listen to music and play a few movies and/or television shows to get me through my 8 hour work day and still have over 50% of battery life remaining. However sometimes I will leave it plugged in if I am going to be using it consistently through out the day. I am also very impressed with the sound quality of this device.The speakers sound great and the sound is loud and robust. This is a big plus when streaming movies from Netflix or watching Home Videos.The IPad Air 2 is a nice upgrade from the previous generation of IPads and I feel that the device is an exceptional value for it’s price. This device is great for students and/or the casual home user. I highly recommend this device if it’s price fits into your budget.

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'm sure most of you already know what an iPad is, what it can or can't do. This is Appe's latest version, announced in Fall 14'. This new version is slightly different from the previous version mainly due to the following: Touch ID to log in like the phone, make purchase etc, slightly thinner, better camera (one facing away from you), better processor, and can take slo-mo video. If you already have an Air, I don't think its worth upgrading. Anything older than air, it's a decent upgrade. While it is thin, if you plan on putting any protective case in it, it'll take away from the thinness. The original air is pretty thin already and can be had for $100 less, maybe more. I have an iPhone 6, so I got used to the touch ID. Sometimes I find myself trying to log into my gen 1 iPad air with my finger, but it's not supported. Anyway, a nice device overall, enjoy!

What more can I say. This iPad is great perfect size , weight and is very slim . I feel as if the touch screen response should be a lot more sensitive . And the iPad should initially offer way more GB than 8,16,32,64. I would appreciate font and text options for easier viewing ... but can't complain too much because the camera on this bad boy is INSANE! 4 stars!

I purchased 2 of these items. One for my 12 year old son and one for my 14 year old daughter. They were being upgraded from IPAd 2s. This is an excellent tablet. It has a more vivid screen, lighter, and much thinner than the IPAd 2. So far, battery life is excellent as well. The kids love it. My only regret is not purchasing the 32 gb or 64 gb version. The Apps take up a lot of space. Overall, excellent tablet.

My reason to recommend the Air 2 over all other iPads is that 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 softcover book. Magazines and feature articles look good on its screen. Movies -- even letter boxed ones -- look sharp. But it's big enough to do some work on. Apps run side-by-side in split screen (Split View) mode work well, and with a keyboard attached it's a solid portable writing machine.

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.
