Customer Ratings & Reviews

After a couple years, it was time to replace our iPad 2, and the trade in deal Best Buy was offering was too good to pass up. This model is better in every way. It's much faster, thinner, and lighter. If not for the promotion that was going on, I would have gladly saved the money and bought the iPad Air instead of the Air 2. However, buying the latest and greatest gives us just that little extra future-proofing.

The iPad Air2's performance is excellent and there are no lags at all in using any of the apps or while web browsing. The quality of the display is simply beautiful. The battery also is sufficient and you never feel you will run out of battery. The sound quality is also very good for a device of this size. Added to that it is not very big and provides the right mix of mobility and size for ease of use.

I love my new iPad Air 2. Light weight and easy to use. The features (such as picture-in-picture on video) are great. Flawless performance so far. I replaced an ol iPad 2 with this one. Had to find something on my old iPad the other day and was shocked at how big and clunky it was. I ordered online at Bestbuy.com and it was hassle free. It came a day early. Couldn't be happier with my purchase.

Bought this as an open box item and got a great deal! Absolutely nothing wrong with it, maybe wanted gold instead of silver, but it lives in a case anyways. Soo much faster, brighter, lighter than the old iPad 3 I was upgrading from. Looked at the iPadPro, but decided it was too big. This iPad Air 2 is the perfect size for home use or traveling. Fits in my purse nicely. No complaints here!

Great tablet. Light, fast, and beautiful! Can it get any thinner? Just like my iPhone 6, I really love the finger print scanner! Makes it easier to unlock and make purchases in iTunes andd App store! I also like the new and improved camera. Very good battery life.

Fast, light weight, love the touch security, ample storage and great camera/video!

The display is awesome compared to my ancient iPad! The next thing noticed was the speed of the downloads and how fast the web pages filled. The size of the screen was the same but it was a smaller and thinner case that weighed a lot less. I have also noticed the battery charge lasts longer than my old ipad2. Very happy with the new one and glad I spent the money to upgrade.

I'm an over-50 woman with eyes that aren't so sharp anymore (have bifocals). The larger size of the iPad is just what I need. And the iPad Air 2 is perfect - larger size and very lightweight. The built-in apps are a breeze to use. Overall it's very easy to navigate and get what and where you want to be. I'm not very tech savvy, but am pleased it was so easy to set up and use!

The iPad Air 2 has surpassed the iPad Air in every conceivable aspect. The camera has been improved, the weight has been lowered and the thickness has been reduced. With the faster processor, the iPad Air 2 is able to handle any task thrown at it. I went from an iPad Mini (1st Gen) to the iPad Air 2, and the size difference is barely noticeable, and you get a much larger screen. The iOS Operating System has always been considered one of the most intuitive OS's out there, and the latest iOS8 version proves to be the same. The jump in capacity from 16GB to 64GB for only $100 is something you should consider as the large apps, pictures and videos will take up plenty of space on your iPad.

The screen is big enough for handling tasks that may prove too difficult on a smaller screen like the iPhone's, yet the device is light enough to carry around without it dragging you down. I've found that I've been using my iPad for a lot of tasks previously reserved for my laptop. And of course it takes much less time flipping open my iPad cover than turning on my laptop!

I’ve used a bunch of different tablets. Except for the iPad Pro, this is the best one. It’s so light and powerful! I got this before the iPad Pro came out, so when I bought it, it was the best that money could buy. If I was buying a tablet today, it would be the iPad Pro, but I can understand if you preferred the lighter weight and the smaller price tag of the iPad Air 2.

I purchased my first Air 2 when it came out last fall, to replace my original iPad mini. The weight reduction and reduced size along with the full size retina screen makes this thing a joy to use especially coming from a sluggish Mini. This thing is blazing fast and almost feels overpowered. With iOS 9 and multi tasking and PIP coming its going to become even more versatile.

This tablet is a no brainier for any apple fan. It is by far the best iPad yet. I love the new size it is very slim but not low quality by any mean. I use it to do all my daily work from email and surfing the web to watching YouTube and surfing Facebook at night. The high defr screen is just amazing. Most of all the battery life is the best it last me 20 hours of straight use.

Everyone should know by now that if you are looking for a tablet, the iPad Air 2 is the way to go. The iPad pro is a little too big for my needs, and the iPad mini is just a little larger than my iPhone 6 Plus. This iPad is fast, thin, light, and the perfect size. Don't hesitate, just go and get this model if you're looking for a dependable and easy to use tablet.

This is easily the best tablet on the market anywhere. The A8X is incredibly fast, the display is fantastic and it's also extremely thin and light weight. With new iOS 9 features such as Split View and Picture in Picture coming as a free software update this fall, it will only get even better.

Does everything you need from a tablet, and does it fast. There is always an app available for any need. The battery lasts a long time so good on airplane flights overseas. The lightning connector is easy to use, small and non-polarized. As a PC user, I found the iPad easy to learn. The only downside is the price, but I have seen discounts of 15%, which is considerable.

I have had all previous versions of the iPad and this is by far the best product Apple has produced. The processor is lightning fast, the unit is slim and light weight. The screen size is perfect for any use from preparing documents and spreadsheets to watching movies. The battery doesn't last as long as my previous iPad 3 but it charges twice as fast, really quick.

Great buy from Best Buy. Got it on sale. After using it for so many months, still no body can't beat the price the Best Buy gave me. This Air 2 is the bestest i pad ever owned. So light weight with great screen quality. Got 64 GB, its so really usefull for all daily usage from browsing, gaming to watching movies. Usefull and must have device for everyone.

I upgraded from a iPad 2 which I loved. This new iPad Air 2 is a lot better. It is much lighter and faster. The finger print technology is a nice feature. The camera is a lot better also. I highly recommend this product. You cannot go wrong with a Apple product. I would also recommend some sort of protective case because I could see it being scratched easily.

The 64gb iPad Air is my first iPad purchase. Let me tell you, when I first held it I was amazed at how light it is. The new design is stylish as well as extremely comfortable to hold. The amazing screen resolution makes the iPad a complete joy to look at for hours on end if need be. Pros: -Lightweight -Battery Life (Holds up to a day of regular use no problem) -Fingerprint Home Button -Amazing Screen Resolution -64gb is enough space to store a lot of media without worrying about space -Compatible with Wi-Fi ac (and has excellent Wi-Fi range) Cons: -Vibrates when playing audio (the iPad Air 2 is so thin that just about any audio coming through the device's speakers can be felt while holding it. I use a folio style case, which helps dampen this effect, but it is still noticeable) -No Flash (which means no flashlight)
