    I loved my previous two Ipads and this Ipad Air is an even lighter with a richer screen and a better feeling device. I may be biased when it comes to tablets but I would recommend this product to anyone.

    I didn't think I would use an iPad but at the suggestion of my son I purchased one & really enjoy using it. We travel back & forth to our Lake condo, the iPad has replaced my laptop, it's lighter easy to use & does most things I used my laptop for. Really happy with the iPad should have purchased it soomer.

    The iPad Air is a great product. It's easy to use and has access to all of the best apps through the Apple App Store. Makes email and online surfing a breeze. Just downloaded all of my photos from a digital camera quickly and it's great to view them in the larger format. It's everything that I hoped it would be.

    My second iPad, iPad Air

    I wanted the lighter more compact version of the iPad so I upgraded to the iPad Air. No regrets in making the move. Setup was super easy. All of my setup from the first iPad was automatic via iCloud except for passwords. The unit seems much lighter which I love. The battery life is excellent and everything works like a charm. I resold my first iPad via one of the online resellers and got a nice price making this upgrade less painful financially. I bought it from Best Buy which was a pleasant experience. I am now hoping for a larger screen iPhone so I can focus on one platform for both the tablet and phone. I am still a Windows guy for computers even after Windows 8 but that is a different story.

    Another Apple masterpiece -- until the next one

    iPad Air is another apple masterpiece. I am so glad they did away with the number naming convention. I am still confused what was iPad 3.... All in all, ipad air bundles everything you liked about ipads into one place and makes sure you get the feel of iPad-mini too. It is extremely light when you compare it to the previous generation ipads. Much more confortable to hold and manage. The Display is crisp and the new processor makes everything really snappy. Only drawback is the low storage capacity. With ios 7, every update needs 2GB of free space. Thats really hard to find on a 16GB ipad now. With apps growing in size and pictures becoming larger, more storage in iPad is crucial now.

    I purchased to do product research/ reviews while watching tv. I chose to purchase a case and keybord for it at the same time and it works great for me. It holds a charge for a very long time and the screen is soo much better than trying to do my research on my small screen smart phone.

    Perfect gift for a 'special needs' relative

    Although I have purchased four previous iPads for myself and my family, and just many iPhones, this purchase was for a member of our family who is "special needs," and was going through a serious health crisis and was in an ICU for weeks. My wife and I saw the iPad as an easy to use tool to provide this loved one comfort, entertainment and mental stimulation. Its ease of use and our ability to personalize it to his needs were key. We loaded it with his favorite movies; queued up some favorite YouTube topics like the Space Shuttle launches; and installed games he could play with us, with nurses or by himself. HE LEARNED HOW TO DO EVERYTHING. IT RESTORED HIS CONFIDENCE, and I believe it helped him heal. He's fine now, back at home, and that iPad never leaves his side. It was the perfect gift.

    I upgraded from my generation 1 iPad to this model. The speed as compared to the Gen 1 is amazing (though expected). The built-in cameras are good enough for me, and as I only use a handful of apps, the 16GB is plenty for me. However, the iOS does eat up quite bit of the initial 16GB of space.

    I bought this device to use with my DJI Phantom 3 drone. The large screen makes it much more enjoyable when flying a FPV quad copter. It's very lightweight, which keeps it from changing the center of gravity of my remote.

    While I've had a few Android devices, this is my first iPad. I'm glad I waited. I've had it about 1 month now and the primary uses are for web surfing, reading and movies. I like that its very light but still feels solid. I like the processing power as some of my previous products would get bogged down scrolling through several pictures. The screen clarity is excellent. I like the amount of software titles available in the App Store but I wish the price would be lower. I would like to see a microSD slot to expand memory or even a USB port so that I could connect other devices easily. I would also appreciate if the speakers were directed more towards the front of the screen.

    I love my new IPad. I bought the Wifi version because I have an unlimited network plan for my phone and it has a hot spot. I had an older iPad version but I am glad I updated to the iPad Air. The screen has much better resolution, the unit itself is much faster and it even feels lighter.

    Love the iPad Air, definitely a good investment if you have a lot to do and keep organized. I use iPad for facetime, reminders, calendar, travel, and so much more. Apple is always on top of products and keep it up to date. Comes in three different colors (silver, space grey, and gold)

    The iPad line is great and the Air is an excellent addition to the family. It's very light and sleek. Apple's products are always excellent quality with a sleek design. You may find cheaper options, but Apple is a name you can always count on, even if it may cost a little more.

    Exactly what you would expect from Apple. This is a nice model because the screen is bigger than the iPad mini, which I find to be too small for many applications especially surfing the Internet. It is nice and thin and light weight making it easier to pack and carry with you

    While this is not the latest, most-advanced iPad currently available, it is a nice upgrade to my original iPad. It's lighter, faster and runs apps more smoothly. And the price is in that sweet spot that gives you an option if you don't want to spring for the most-expensive model.
