    With 32Gb it is enough for normal use with casual games and apps. It works all the time with great battery life, nice display and fast performance. I didn't want the Touch ID, taking puctures, this iPad is great for me.

    I use this device daily and became frustrated with my older version because it felt like it was slowing me down. The newer version is a great improvement. I like the lighter weight and the screen quality is also better. I am so pleased with the improved speed/search quality.

    Debated over 32gb iPad Air & 64gb Air 2. Decided on 32gb iPad Air. Bought it on sale for $380 (Best Buy price matched another store) The Air 2 has Touch ID and it's slightly faster, but neither of those things justified the $220 price difference between the 2 models. If you don't care about Touch ID on your iPad, go with the Air, you can find great deals, and it's an excellent product, couldn't be happier. Also bought a $40 Belkin iPad case on clearance for 90% off from Best Buy...$3.99 for a case...whaaaaaat?!?!

    iPad® Air is thinner than my old one and weighs a little less, so it feels light in hand. It comes with a 9.7-inch Retina display, the A7 chip with M7 motion coprocessor, ultrafast wireless, powerful apps, and up to 10 hours of battery life. Camera is much-improved

    This iPad Air is a replacement for the first generation iPad that I bought used from a friend. I really enjoy the light weight and easy to use controls along with the camera which my old one didn't have. Looking forward to many years of use from this new unit.

    I own a first generation iPad. This is a nice upgrade. It is much lighter, faster, and the camera takes incredible pictures. I did not choose the version which can be added to a cellular plan because I only use the device in areas that have WiFi.

    I upgraded to the iPad Air 32 GB from an iPad 4 32 GB. The iPad Air is faster, takes better photos, & has better screen quality. The battery life is pretty much the same. The only con I have really is it would of been nice to have a USB port Apple would allow you to use a thumb drive with or plug in a printer. It's not always convenient to carry around a laptop to move photos or files while traveling, or print a file when an air printer is not available. Yes icloud is nice but the internet is not always available & it can take a long time to upload files to the cloud.

    This is a replacement for an iPad 2 that met an untimely death after years of services with the kids. This new hardware generation runs the current generation of processor and IOS allowing the latest and greatest apps. The battery is also much better! The kids like the lighter weight as well. Only drawback somewhat is that IOS is starting to show its age. The lack of customization, widgets and other flexible options from Android and even Windows 10 on some tablets is something that perhaps one should consider before buying. We as a family have already invested in the IOS ecosystem, so a newer iPad made sense. If it's your first tablet although, do your homework. The iPad is still the undeniable juggernaut, but viable and worthy alternatives are available.

    The full sized iPad we've all been waiting for...

    I have used the iPad as my daily driver since the release of the iPad 2. That was the device that made me fall in love with Apple. Naturally, since I use it so much, it was a no-brainer to upgrade to the iPad 3 once it came out, just for the retina display alone. But that's where I stopped. There was no real need to upgrade from the iPad 3 to the iPad 4 because it was essentially the same device with a new processor and the lightning connector. So when I started to see all the rumors surrounding the 5th generation iPad, I had a feeling that this will be the one to get me to upgrade again. After it was announced, I was very up in the air about whether I wanted an iPad air or an iPad mini with retina display. For me though, the decision boiled down to a very basic concept: if I was more mobile with my iPad, like if I used it for business or if I traveled a lot, the retina iPad mini would have been my choice. But since it's primarily just something I use around the house and occasionally take over to a friends house, having that extra screen real estate definitely made more sense to me. I bought it on launch day at my local Best Buy. Going from the iPad 3 to this, I definitely noticed snappier performance. And the weight reduction was definitely a huge plus. Much more comfortable in one hand. Fans of the iPhone 5s might be a bit disappointed to find out that it doesn't have touch ID or the new 8mp camera, but for most, it won't be a deal breaker. This is definitely the iPad to get if you're looking for a full-sized tablet. I would recommend it to anyone.

    My previous iPad died after dropping it while in the case, and I needed a replacement. My choices were either this or the iPad Air 2. The graphics and processor are significantly better than the original iPad, though it is a little worse than what I saw from the iPad Air 2. It is also a LOT lighter than the original. This is still significantly cheaper than the iPad Air 2, and has more screen space than the iPad mini.

    Everyone should have at least one iPad , and this is the best iPad ever, This is no reason to buy some other brand, those tablets are not good Compare to this beautiful iPad air, it's super light, fast, easy to use, and The battery lasts long time, it worth 150% of the money you spend, you would be a fool not to buy this one just because some other brand are cheaper, and that's just sad

    Brilliant display, easy to read. The iPad is intuitative to use from the beginning and the features for sharing of photos, contacts and such, and sending to printer over the wifi network, through AirDrop makes things so easy. Love the "Tips" sent to educate user about new features. Through iBooks you can download a free copy of User Guide to help in the learning process if needed, and it can be notated by user for easy reference later. The feature of email to yourself, of pdf files and then, once on the iPad, sending to iBooks, makes it easy to build your own library of documents, tables, clips, and such of special interest or need to you. An excellent investment.

    I loved my ipad 2, but it was only a 16gb and it was time to upgrade. The ipad air is noticeably lighter and the screen is much better. I did a side-by-side comparison of speed and the ipad air loads apps much more quickly, which is nice when trying to complete tasks quickly. I wish it were a bit less expensive, but its build quality is representative of the premium price.

    By now everyone knows what an iPad is. Great screen, great battery life. Tons of apps. The newest version is light, thin and is wonderful to use. Plenty of case options to choose from, and Apple's warranty is outstanding. Only beef is with the price. Its a lot of money, but Id rather spend more on Apple due to quality and the number and availability of apps. I use this for work too, its handy for getting out that email while you are sitting on the couch.

    I have owned the iPad 2, iPad 3, iPad Air & iPad Air 2.....this purchase was a gift for my aunt. She loves viewing her pictures on it and prefers it to her Mac Mini I also bought her. I would recommend these to anyone especially older people who find computers to be too much and too confusing. The Air is so light you might forget you are carrying it ;-) Be careful I've thrown my purse around not thinking there's anything important in there! Also, Apple really is tops. I am a web design major very very such savvy person and I do use Windows occasionally but Apple is so simplified and easy to use when Windows tablet users switch they over think everything.

    This is my second iPad and I knew I would love it and do. I have an iPhone and it's great but the iPad is so much easier to see when using most apps. If you use the Kindle or Pinterest App and so many more, you will love it also. The sales associate for my phone was outstanding and the iPad associate was good but not great like the other. Am very satisfied. Btw, if you get a cover for the screen, don't get the one where the screen has to be wet to apply it. I had Best a Buy apply mine but it still ruined my iPad.
