Customer Ratings & Reviews

After having been through a 1st and 2nd gen iPad, and watching the product go through 2 more generations since then, I finally decided to go for a new one. The iPad Air is without a doubt the state of the art in tablet technology today. The display is amazing (once you use the retina display, nothing else will do), it's considerably lighter, and it's ridiculously fast compared to previous generations. The battery lasts seemingly forever compared to my old iPad 2. I looked at the retina mini, but decided that I'd rather have the bigger display even if it meant more weight (and another $100). Also, there are some variations in the UI between the Air and the mini -- such as the size of the browser address bar -- that I didn't like on the mini. Got a nice trade-in price on my iPad 2 from Best Buy, so it worked out well.

Love this iPad easy to use lightweight, fast , clear, I take it wherever I go..I love how easy it is to use this iPad , my children bought my first and second one for me because they knew how easy it is to do the things I need to do with it without any problems and they were right!!!!

The iPad Air delivers more performance and comparable battery life in an attractive and impossibly thin-and-light package. An improved front-facing camera makes FaceTiming look better, and the Retina Display still looks great.

This tablet is incredibly lite and thin. Very fast processing power. If you are okay with the usual Apple proprietary system then you will not be disappointed with the iPad Air. 16GB is low these days but I don't store photos or videos on my tablet. If I did I would probably go up in memory. Finally, great price on sale at Best Buy.

Bought the iPad Air to replace a 3 year old Samsung Tab 2, which I really liked. The iPad is much faster and much lighter. It also seem to be more user friendly. In addition, it is compatible with my iPhone which is a convenient feature.. Overall, I believe the iPad probably offers the best value for a tablet in the market today.

I was very surprised how quick and easy it was to get up and going. Very intuitive. Love the size, weight and appearance. Can't wait to learn more. I did order a manual because I am a senior and do better learning from a book I can keep on the right page as I go, instead of using digital instructions where I have to go back and forth.

I had an old ipad 1 and it had become really slow and sluggish. I started to check out new ones but the price was way over what i wanted tonspend. But when i saw this older model on sell, i pulled the trigger. I am very happy I did, its a great improvment, very snappy fast and extremely light, and the resolution is great.

I was pleased how thin and lightweight the Apple iPad Air was. The battery life is great. The picture and resolution are awesome. I am very pleased. They only thing I would wish for as an improvement would be louder speakers and sound quality. Other than that this iPad Air is awesome and I would recommend it to anyone.

i bought the ipad 3 when it came out, but was disappointed. the tablet was heavy, lagged, got really hot as well. this ipad air on the other hand is light, then, fast and responsive and an all round delight to use! i do not regret my purchase. app selection is also miles ahead on ios compared to the competition

Just bought this for my son who is an android fan. This is the 4th iPad my family has purchased- now everyone has their own. As I stated my son is an android fan, but was frustrated with the previous tablets he has owned- all versions of the Nook and his last tablet a kindle Fire. He was tired of the devices constantly crashing, short battery life, and not enough memory. After seeing how happy the rest of the family was with their iPAds he made the switch. He has been using the device for a few months now and hands down he is a fan! Can't compare the overall quality feel of the device- extremely light., images are crisp clear color really pops. iCloud allows for so much storage of music, books etc. that you can manage just fine with the 16g model. PLus iCloud allows for family sharing. Only down side is that there is less free content than an Android device but on the upside of that Apple is very protective of what you can place on your device which helps you to avoid viruses and other bugs- thus prolonging the life of the device. iPad is the only way to go.

Bought as a gift for my 60+ year old mom. Easy to set up and intuitive enough for her, a tech novice, to navigate ad get set up. Long battery life and light on weight. Paired with Zagg keyboard it's a great replacement for an old laptop. Much more flexible for her to transport.

I had a iPad 2 and it was great but this iPad is just amazing. I almost forget that I am carrying it some times. It is so light I feel like I am using a phone but with a massive screen. It is so easy to carry wherever I go.

Bought this for my dad who is retired and who is interested but not very tech savvy. Easy set up and usability had him on line and looking things up quickly. Good battery life, comfortable size and Apple functionality is easy to follow. Would buy again without a thought.

The iPad Air 2 is everything you need in a tablet. Apple did a fantastic job of making the iPad Air 2 lighter in weight, making it more enjoyable to hold and actually use. The updated wifi driver is much faster than on the older iPads, so internet speeds are much quicker (this is also based on your provider.) With the use of Google Docs and Google Drive this tablet can replace your laptop for on the go use. I also purchased the logitech keyboard case so it is practically a laptop. The camera is superb for a tablet, and much better than the other brands. Actual image quality doesnt always have to do with megapixels. So although Samsung tabs sport more pixels their actual image quality is no better than that of Apples iPad. The price of the iPad is very fair, you are paying for excellent build quality complimented with Apples amazing OS system and unique processors. If you are in the market for a tablet, the iPad Air 2 is your best investment.

I was hesitant about buying this. Wanted it, but wondered if it would be worth the money. Can't believe I was hesitant! I use it all the time. Totally worth the money! Can't describe how much I love this. It is easy to use, a nice size screen and very fast and responsive.

I had an iPad 2 and decided to upgrade to the iPad Air because of the improvement in the screen resolution. The other factor was that the Air was an improvement in the size and weight. Overall the iPad Air is a solid improvement to previous models. It seems the battery life isn't as good as my iPad 2, but it's still very good and I'd consider it a strength. The narrower width, thinner depth, and lighter weight make the iPad Air more usable. I still think the iPad mini is a better size if you want to read a lot of ebooks, but the iPad Air comes closer to being a good ebook reader. iOS is easy to use and runs smoothly. I would have liked to get the next level up in storage capacity, but I couldn't afford the extra $100, but 16 GB doesn't leave a lot of room for lots of games/apps, music, books, movies. It requires the user to be frugal with what's stored on your iPad and what apps you keep.

My wife and daughter both have had tablets, but I refused to depart from my old ways, until recently. I was a desktop/laptop guy. This device was actually larger than I realized, but that is okay. The screen is so clear and photos are vivid. I had no problem setting up a bluetooth keyboard so I could speed things up a bit when writing longer E-mails. One of the main reasons I decded to go the tablet route was for travel. It was so inconvenient to lug around a 15-inch laptop in the bottom of my carry on with a full-sized camera sitting on top of that. The Otterbox I got to go with it makes it difficult at times since hitting the on/off switch and other buttons is a little bit harder to access, but not impossible. I guess the best two things about the I-pad are the brilliant screen resolution, and the portability. The abundance of apps is an asset too.

The iPad Air delivers the best experience to date of all iPad. It's the fastest lightest by far. Weather you are browsing the web, gaming, or running apps you will be pleased. The color will pop an excellent display to watch videos on. What's not to like?

I use this mostly for entertainment purposes. And it does get used a good deal by everyone in the family... To sum it up, I would say that no work and ALL play... I do have a full bluetooth keyboard but have not found a way to use it as a full work/laptop replacement. As far as the device itself... Its great. Light, great screen, smooth through every application I have ever run on it, and battery life is ridiculously long. I would have expected the speakers to be a little better but perfectly fine on the go. I bought a cheap tablet on Amazon and the Ipad makes it look like a caluclator.

I enjoy using this ipad. The battery stays up a good time. it works fast and is easy to use. also not to heavy.
