    The Ipad Air 2 is much faster than our old Ipad gen3 and the 128 GB storage is great for pictures and music. The LTE enables us to take it anywhere and talk to family and friends anywhere anytime. Use it more than the PC now with all the apps that can be installed on it.

    Perfect size iPad for me

    Originally, I had plans to purchase the iPad Pro, but holding it along side the iPad Air 2, I decided it was too big. By itself, it would "ok", but you have to consider the addition of a case. The Pro weighs about 1.5 lbs, while the Air 2 is about 0.9 lbs. Adding a case like Otter Box Defender would add 1 lb, while a Lifeproof Nuud case added less than 0.5 lbs. Anything else would add significant weight. Since I recently purchased a 13" MacBook Pro that weighs about 2.5 lbs, I decided the iPad Air 2 was perfect for my needs.

    I found the IPad Air 2 to be worth the investment over the IPad Air just because of the Thumb Print ID Feature. It has spoiled me. Also - picture quality and Video Resolution is phenomenal!

    I've owned many versions of the Apple iPad and it has become a part of my every day life. There is not much improvement from this version to the previous version but I still love it!

    85% of my iPad useage is for aviation. This air 2 replaced my iPad 2. The difference is remarkable. The speed for my Garmin Pilot, ads-b, and resolution is very advanced. The memory is outstanding.

    I always liked Apple products for their excellent finish and features . Noteworthy is the quality of their display. This IPad Air2 with 128Gb stays true to Apple brand quality. Bought this for my Sister and she loves using it and she is using it as primary device for work and having fun .

    Great Upgrade for existing iPad users

    I have an older iPad with much less memory. The upgrade not only gave me a faster iPad with better display, better camera, but with 128 GB so I am no longer looking at my available storage everyday. The smaller screen is worth the lighter weight of the Pro 2. Off course I wish it was less expensive.

    I bought the 128GB iPad Air 2 as a Christmas present for my wife. I make my living in technology (been a software developer and architect for over 30 years) but my wife isn't a programmer. The iPad simply WORKS. Options are easier to find. Sure, an Android tablet will be cheaper but it will also be more difficult to set up or change as every developer has 'their way' of doing things and the Google Play store doesn't check the applications offered for sale in there NEARLY as much as Apple vets the apps through THEIR store. Most apps seem to come out for iOS before Android anyway. The magnetic clip for the 'smart cover' is good and solid - works like a charm. Getting connected and adding the iPad to my existing T-Mobile account was a breeze. Setting up other software (like OneDrive for cloud storage, Office for iPad, etc) was just as easy. It's fast. It's light. It works. You get what you pay for (and in this case you ARE paying a premium - I also have an Amazon Kindle Fire HD - much cheaper and still 'good' but a lot of compromises in many areas).

    With the new iPad Air, I decided to go all the way. 128 G WiFi and cellular, and I love it. The photo quality is definitely improved and that is saying a lot since the photos on the older models were good. It is fast, the battery holds a charge much longer than the oder ones, and its an Apple product. I can't say enough good things about it, except if you are considering making the change, go for it. It is well worth the money. I also love the service I received at Best Buy. I went in 30 minutes before closing time, knowing exactly what I wanted, and the sales clerk was happy to help me. He looked it up and said yes they had it, but then he couldn't find it. Before it was all over, there were two looking. I was getting worried when they came by and said "we have one more place to look" but they came back smiling, with my new iPad in their hand. (This was Christmas week so it was crazy time). Even though it was so close to closing time, he was cheerful, very helpful, even let me grab a case before he rang me up. I can't say enough about my iPad. Going from iPad 3 to the iPad Air 2 was an amazing upgrade. The service at Best Buy in Peoria was amazing!

    The tablet is quick and has been perfect for work and play. The display is very bright and comfortable to read. From spreadsheets to remote PC desktop connections, I'm able to view much more compared to my mini with retina. It's very thin so it's comfortable to hold. The cellular connection works great, it lasts at least 9hrs with moderate use. I haven't been able to fill the 128gb storage but it's nice to have, especially for the future.

    Great battery life. Perfect size for reading and working since it is just a little smaller than a piece of A4 paper. To me, Pro is too big for a tablet and Mini is too small. The portability of the Mini is great but since my phone can do everything I need and it is not much smaller, I decided to get the Air 2. The chip in the Air 2 is great for a tablet use, even though it is a year old but it is still faster than the newer Mini 4.

    I upgraded my 64 GB iPad 4 to the 128 GB iPad Air 2. At first, I did it mainly for the increase in capacity as I kept running out of room. I was immediately struck by its lightness; then by the great increase in speed. And though the iPad 4 has a Retina screen, the iPad Air 2 looked crisper. The Touch ID is a definite bonus, as is the ability to use Apple Pay on the internet. The hard part is finding a keyboard that will hold the thinner iPad.

    I upgraded from an iPad 3 to the iPad Air 2. The new iPad is thinner, lighter, faster, and greater in every way. The battery is lasting as expected and iPad doesn't overheat with heavy use. The best part is the addition of the finger print reader. I would recommend this iPad to anyone looking to update! I ordered online at Best Buy.com and receive my app iPad within One business day. I would also recommend buying from Best Buy.com

    The graphics and photos are beautiful on this ipad. My old ipad was also much slower, I like the quick downloads. Iam also on for the weight reduction, even in the case I purchased it is lighter than my old ipad. I'm hoping to get to some of the classes offered locally to get the most out of it.

    Without a doubt the finest tablet on the market today. I didn't really need 128MB of memory but I wanted the Gold model and this was the one they had in inventory. It is blazing fast with a gorgeous display and a very powerful camera that takes fabulous pictures. With 128GB of memory I can also take hous of high quality video. AN excellent purchase!

    I traded in a 2 year old iPad 4 for this awesome iPad Air 2 and am very happy. The Air2 is light and compact and the retinal display is terrific. I love the Touch ID on this which my iPad 4 didn't have. Apple Pay is a great option too. I debated getting the iPad Pro because I love a big screen! I have the iPhone 6 Plus. But the pro was just too big. The Air2 is a great option that is easily carried in my purse, carry on bag or tote bag. Another Apple home run!

    This iPad is literally my new best friend. It is so lightweight, and it is a great alternative to carrying my bulky MacBook Pro to school every day. I love it. The only thing with iPads are that a lot of iPhone apps are not customized for the iPad, so a lot of them look like zoomed in iPhone screens, which can be annoying and definitely leaves room for improvement on app developers' part (especially Snapchat and Instagram). And why is there no iPad calculator?! Other than that, the interface is so intuituve, and I love using my iPad for browsing and taking notes. It might not be the iPad Pro, but it's still such a great investment!
