    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've had my original IPad for almost Four years and it was very slow. My new IPad Air2 is much better. I'm able to do all I could do on a laptop. Great to take with you to take super photos.

    The iPad has come in handy for a lot of reasons. It has also helped me utilize my iPhone in more ways. The fact that I continue learning keeps me interested in using it.

    Best iPad for price range

    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 .

    First iPad Ever

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This is my first iPad ever and I do like it and would recommend it. I cannot compare it to any other models or current manufacturers, but I did have an old HP Touchpad that I loved. I still like the Touchpad interface better but unfortunately they discontinued it years ago so development of hardware, updates, and apps stopped. My wife and I both have iPhones (the new 6 and my work phone a 4s) so we decided to go with the iPad for compatibility, pairing/sharing, and ease of use. I purchased the classy looking white/gold 16gig Air 2. The Fingerprint ID is very nice, and of course the apps are abundant. I'm a techy by trade, but my wife is not. This is a very easy device for her to use. We have a pc and this is not a device to replace a pc used for running programs. It's perfect for 95% of my wife's productivity and about 50% of mine. We use it for: 1) email and Facebook, 2) internet surfing, and 3) sports, TV, Netflix, apps. It might be justified, but I still think these things are expensive. I did get a good deal from Best Buy on Black Friday 2014. My first choice was the new Microsoft Surface Pro 3, but at $750+ the iPad Air 2 was half the price. Pro's: Fingerprint (touch) ID, Retina Display, camera, thin, lite, abundant apps. Con's: Price, cannot set up multiple user accounts. I'm rating the Air 2 a "4" because of the con's listed above (I think all tablets over $250 are expensive), and I still think the HP Touchpads interface was better. All that aside, if your looking for a tablet that is easy to use, thin and light, with abundant apps you will not be disappointed. So far the battery life is impressive, but I will hold judgment after at least a year of use. I would recommend it.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Feel good going into the Air2. They always have the next one coming so... You just have to know there will be an Air 3 as soon as you get the Air 2 out of the box. But the tablet is fast light and I prefer it over my wife's iPad Pro by far. The Pro is amazing but it's not nearly as portable and low profile. Tablet for me was a way leave the laptop in the car, room, office (not too far away) and manage less gear away from the desk. Air 2 does that very well. Great for minor edits and presenting content, emails, web activity etc. Not so great for creating the slides, documents, or whatever content...do that on a pc. Only con is on the 16GB version. You fill it up Day 1 just with apps. Even with all my content in iCloud I have to juggle which apps I have installed for the day and am constantly battling the storage issue. It really isn't fair to even sell the 16gb model because it barely has the capacity to sustain itself.... Let alone anything you add to it. They should have baselined the Air 2 at 32GB. Pay the extra hundred bucks and get the 64Gb... Trust me.

    Everything about this IPad is easy to learn and use. So far it has been basically perfect. The only glitch I have encountered at all is in the browser. Sometimes when I open the Google search page, the keyboard will disappear after I type the first letter. But as soon as I tap the search box, it pops right back up. In this day of technology, if that is the biggest issue I have, then I am completely satisfied. Otherwise, the machine performs beautifully. The screen is amazing and the speed is as fast as you could ask for.

    Great iPad, can't be thinner, feels light and great in hand, picked a smart cover for it, impressive performance, it can handle any iOS games easily and will be the only iPad supports multitask in iOS9 right now. Still the tablet industry standard. One big problem is the sound, which vibrates the entire iPad like crazy, if this problem can be addressed and solved next year, the iPad air 3 will be a big success.

    I received this as a birthday gift to replace my original 1st generation iPad which was limited to ios5. This one is much faster and lighter. I am now using it on a regular basis to web surf and do e-mail which I used to do on my macbook air. I also use it for reading books on overdrive. If I was making the selection myself, I would have opted for the 64GB model. Since I don't use a lot of apps and I have a large amount of icloud storage, the 16 GB is working fine.

    My iPad is a 2nd generation and is still working great. I bought this for my husband and it is a great tablet. We are able to share apps across devices which is great. I can now FaceTime my kids when I am away for work. The size is slightly smaller, but the screen is still large enough. It is thinner and lighter which is nice. He mostly uses it for web browsing, YouTube, and some games. The camera and screen resolution is also great.

    If you don't have a tablet yet, this is the one to get. The device is extremely light and thin and it looks really nice. Battery life is unaffected by the increased power. Overall, great device, excellent for apps!

    iPad Air 2 is a great product. I love the ease of use. The lightness of the unit is perfect. The rotating case I purchased was a great addition. I've been using iPads since the first one came out. You know, the one without a camera. Lol! I really like the camera of this unit. It takes better pictures than the iPad 2 which I donated to a daycare. The kids love it. Im planning on getting the air for my mom.

    Apple has done it again! The iPad air is one of the most innovative and user friendly mobile devices on the market! The iPad Air 2 is a huge step up from the already perfect iPad Air. The Air 2 is 18% thinner and 40% faster than the previous version and weighs under 1lb! You can find yourself being productive (or watching Netflix) for hours on end with the 10 hour battery life and upgraded processor and graphics chip. The tablet is extremely versatile with a variety of apps to suit anyone from a business professional to grandparents perfectly. The tablet also features a handy fingerprint reader for added security as well as an invigorating, 9.7 inch, Retina display touting a resolution higher than most HD TV’s! Only thing that's disappointing is that the speakers vibrate when watching movies, or you tube. Other than that, it's the best iPad yet.
