    This is a great addition to any Apple household. It is incredibly lightweight and very fast; perfect for the kids to do their homework on and watch Netflix.

    I've had my iPad Air for a month now and am very happy with my decision to buy it. The form factor is only slightly thicker (1.4 mm) and heavier (1.5 oz.) than the iPad Air 2 - completely negligible differences. The camera is 5MP compared to the iPad 2's 8MP, but I have no plans to use it for photography anyway (have you seen how dorky people look when using it to take pictures?). Its processor speed is plenty fast for all my apps. Combined with a keyboard case, it has replaced my laptop for 90% of my daily computing needs - with portability that even my MacBook Air can't match.

    Definitely an improvement from iPad 3. Very crispy screen and fast processor. Can't beat continuity of apple products. Can't beat getting this on a discount.

    This is my second iPad air. I sold my original and got this due to the fact that I needed more storage (first was 16gb). The iPad air/ air 2 is by far the best tablet our right now. I did compare this to the air 2 but didn't think it was worth another $100. I notice no performance issues. Overall very good tablet.

    If you are looking for a larger iPad, this is probably the best option now (Jan-2015). You get the min. 32GB storage and the high-def display for a good price.

    I am a college student and I have a MacBook Pro but it is old and running slow having issues, so I decided to get a new laptop after dealing with the old for so long, I went to Best Buy and really liked this IPad I played with it for a little while and made sure that I could use it for school. I was able to do so, I am able to use word PowerPoint take test online does it all like a computer for me. The reason I love it so much is because it's more convenient and easier to carry around with me. Overall very satisfied with this purchase and I really love Best Buy!

    Easy to use. Work with my iphone and mac book pro. Faster than Samsung GalaxyTab 7 (Also own). You'll have to get it if you are in the market for a tablet.

    Great Product! What Else Can I Say About iPad?

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I don't know what else I can add to what has already been said about the iPad Air... I personally had a 64GB iPad Air, which I loved, and I wanted one for my elderly mother, who lives over 400 miles away, so we could FaceTime (video chat) and text. My mother has had this for several months now and it doesn't seem to have given her any problems. I think iPads are top quality and easy to use as compared to the Android and Windows tablets I have used in the past. So, especially for someone who is not tech-savvy, I highly recommend an iPad over Android or Windows tablets.

    Pricey As Always, but Still A Great Product

    I traded up from an iPad Gen 2, so I was already familiar with the product. I like the Retina display, the camera improvements & the lightning connector. The display, in particular, is a huge improvement over my old iPad 2. The bad: It's so expensive, as are the accessories. I still have an iPhone 4S, so I'm stuck with needing both the 30 pin & lightning connectors. Sigh. They get you coming & going.
