    I absolutely love my new Apple iPad Air! It's much lighter weight than my old Tablet and much slimmer. It has so many more usable features than my old Tablet too. And very user friendly with a much better camera quality. And Facetime....It's fantastic! I chat with my friend in Canada who also has an Apple iPad Air. I'm just thrilled with this purchase!

    Really Good Tablet

    I have been looking for tablets for a while, and finally decided on either the Ipad Air, or the Ipad Air 2. With so much similarity and the lower price point, I believe that the Air significantly offered more value for the dollar. It's a very good tablet, very sleek and sexy. It is good for what it is, a tablet for web browsing, a few emails and gaming. It is not, however, a full laptop replacement. you would need to purchase a separate keyboard for it, and the lack of direct multi-tasking severely limits it capabilities.

    I purchased this for my 80 year old father who would like to "play" on the computer. It was nice to be able to buy a smaller version of the IPad without all the bells and whistles at a lower price. He didn't need a lot of memory or any of the newer features. The price made it affordable to give as a gift. Now he just needs to figure it out!

    I use this mostly for my job but have taken it on trips instead of my laptop. The screen is great. It's super fast and the battery lasts so long! I love how light and compact it is with the new design. Lots of apps too. Really great

    My grandson uses the ipad air for school. He attends Rockhurst High school here in KC. All school books and apps are downloaded on it. He uses it to communicate with teachers and school officials, as well as do homework on it to email to teachers. He says it is awesome. He went from an ipad mini to the ipad air, what a big difference.

    The Apple ipad Air is truly a very light weight, sleek and as always a very user friendly device to use. The 9.7 inch size is perfect for movie watching and not too big or too small for other purposes. Genuinely recommended if you are a true Apple fan or even otherwise if you want to see, how great technological breakthrough this is.

    Very easy to operate for me, an older lady. Takes the place of all my laptop does , game control, email, easy camera to operate, plus youtube and videos, etc. Amazing device to use and enjoy. Am exploring its many uses day by day. Like the Apple IPads so much that my immediate family bought two different ones within weeks of each other.

    Best tablet out there considering stability, easy to use and battery life. It is light with great resolution and almost no lags. If you are that kind of person that like easy and don't want to waste time on crashes and small things like short battery life span, go for it and pay the extra you will be rewarded on the short long run!

    Easy to set up out of the box and the price was right since the iPad Air 2 had just hit the stores. I bought this for my 73 year old Mother who lives out of state so we can FaceTime and text. . The big screen is easy for her to see and iMessage on the iPad is much easier than using the keyboard on her phone to text. Mom loves her iPad!

    Bought this for my bf and he specifically asked for the 16gb because it is for recreational use only. Don't spend money for more memory. Also I have the 3rd generation iPad and this one is a lot lighter! Definitely a plus. Also I have never had any issues with mine. Worth the money compared to other tablets. Overall excellent product.

    This is the first tablet that I have purchased after online reviews. The iPad was easy to connect to wi fi and set up. The display is fantastic even though it is smaller than my desktop monitor. E-mail was easy to set up. 10 hours of battery time is way more than I use in a sitting. All in all it's an excellent tablet.

    Apple has done some impressive things in the days since the iPod first came out. With the advent of the iPhone and the iOS operating system, things changed. Then came the iPad. A revolutionary new device, a vision from Jobs himself. The third and fourth iterations of the iPad were major improvements, with the Retina display, and an upgraded processor with each subsequent release. The fifth iteration, this new iPad Air, is the biggest improvement yet. While the Retina Display hasn't really changed in the three generations it's existed, it does of course continue to be a sharp, beautiful, high quality display. The hardware is a welcome improvement. Unfortunately, the memory has not been upgraded yet, but it's negligible. The processor has been upgraded to the new A7 processor, the first mobile processor built on 64-bit architecture, and the new M7 co-processor, for motion. The iPhone 5S was probably the main intent for this feature, but the motion processor still allows for some interesting innovation too come. Beyond that, I'm not exactly sure what else it's for at this point, but it's impressive nonetheless. The A7 on the other-hand, you really can feel and see the difference on many tasks. Unfortunately, iOS 7.1 is still a little buggy, and this potentially takes away some of the awesomeness you might otherwise see in the new processor, but that will improve with later iterations of iOS 7. Overall, it's still great software, and by far the greatest looking mobile operating system there it. Not clunky at all like android or windows, but fluid, dynamic, with depth. It's beautiful. Overall, the iPad Air is a fantastic piece of technology. The software is great despite its flaws, and it's gorgeous, the device itself is powerful and fast. The body is now tanner and lighter than any previous model, and with a thinner bezel, while keeping the same great screen size. The App Store is the largest of any mobile system. And since Apple requires a $99/year developer license to release apps in the App Store, the vast majority of iOS apps are made by people who are dedicated and care about what they create. They follow quality design standards and are well-built. A tablet is a vastly more intimate experience than a computer. The iPad, probably more so than any. If you want a fast, efficient, beautiful, tablet experience, this is for you. Whether you want it for content consumption, like mail, browsing the web, Facebook, YouTube, Netflix, etc, or for content creation such as writing, school, or business, I highly recommend this device. I hardly use my laptop. Well, I do use it, but this is my daily driver now. The iPad began my Apple conversion, after spending 25 years - basically my whole life - as a PC guy.

    Apple products are always great. The iPad was purchased for my mother-in-law for Christmas. She had another tablet (not apple) that was very confusing and started to give her issues over time. She finds the iPad easier to use, faster, and is enjoying it every bit. The Best Buy salesperson was awesome and very informative.
