    Love this iPad much better than iPad 2. The camera is great and easy to use but would like the option for panoramic shots.

    Like I said I love my new iPad Air 64. I was able to trade-in my iPad 2...This was a big help in the net purchase price. This is an amazing machine and a very helpful tool in my work. I am amazed at how light the new iPad air is. Thanks to Anthony, the Mac expert at the North Charleston, SC for all of his help in my total purchase experience. It is very comforting to deal with someone who know the product and cares about meeting the customers needs. Apple products are first class.

    I have been wanting some type of device that I could take to Sunday meetings and be able to see without using a magnifying glass. It is hard to balance the glass, the Bible, and all study materials. With just this little iPad Air I can now do it all without dropping everything on the floor. But just in case I do I also got the Otter Box. The Wi-Fi and the Camera are just the frosting on the cake. Thank you Best Buy for having just what I needed at just the right time.

    The 64 GB model is ideal if you want to store a lot of movies and other media, the fastest and the thinnest iPad yet.

    I've had the ipad for about a month now. It was very easy for me to use because I have an iphone already. It's great to have for sitting on the couch and looking up things with the wifi connection. I don't have to go sit down at the computer to do my research or check my son's grades on the school's network. I like that you can customize it with the apple app store.

    Possibly my last iPad

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

    I have purchased every Apple iPad ever made with the exception of the Mini w/Retina. That list includes the iPad 1, iPad 2, iPad w/Retina, iPad 4, iPad Mini (original) and most recently the iPad Air. Out of all of those iPads, I have never had screen complaints until the Air. I originally bought a 32gb Air but exchanged it due to severe backlight bleeding along the edges. I subsequently upgraded to a 64gb Air. There were no backlight issues with the 64gb but I am very unhappy with the screen of both my Air and Mini. I have always felt that the screen of my Mini seemed a little dim compared to the numerous previous iPads I've owned. Well, I found out that Apple has switched to new manufacturing process and cut back on materials. They now use half the number of LEDs in their new iPads, starting with the original Mini and going forward. They also use less glass in the display. In addition to my own Air, I've also compared other Airs to my older iPads and performed several comparisons between my iPad 3 and Air display models in Best Buy and even the Apple Store. Every single test confirmed that the screen looks dimmer and duller than the previous models. Brightness was set to high on every model tested. If you look at the comparison photo I attached, you'll see that the screen of the barely 3-month-old iPad Air on the left does not even compare in sharpness, brightness and overall quality to the screen of the 2-year-old and counting iPad 3 on the right. The metal body also feels more plastic than metal. Lastly, despite the much touted A7 processor, it doesn't seem much faster than the iPad 3. Meanwhile, the Android tablets keep innovating and improving. Some people may dismiss the Air screen as simply being "warmer". Sorry, but that excuse won't work. All of the screens I checked looked just as dull, dim and lifeless. I'm getting tired of defending Apple's slow innovation or even the lack of same to my Android touting friends and family. I can't keep justifying paying more (in some cases, significantly) for my phones and tablets while watching them pay less while their quality improves way beyond Apple. They get waterproof devices with features I can only dream of while I get dull ugly dim screens that feel more like plastic than glass, and plastic feeling bodies. For the first time since iPad 1, I would honestly recommend going with Android tablet instead of an iPad. I don't think Windows tablets are there yet (and I detest Windows 8), but I would definitely recommend several Android tablets over the iPad Air. That is because I feel ZERO excitement about the next iPad based on what I've seen and experienced with the Air. Please get it together Apple.

    This is my first iPad so I cannot compare it to other models. That being said, this is perfect for my life (as a mom of three pre-teen boys). I can quickly catch up on emails while cooking dinner or watching TV. I can take a picture of the leaking gutter and show it to the guy at the big box store (on a large screen, not a cell phone). I can use it to entertain the kids while eating out or at the doctors office. I can record my boys during their football games if I forget the camcorder. I can read a book, play a game, and have my choice of thousands of apps. It does everything that I need it to --- what more do you need? (OK, maybe a little better megapixels with the pictures, but I'm not complaining!)

    This is my second iPad and I really love the device. Apple makes a product that just works and looks beautiful at the same time. There is great app support and the display on this iPad really brings out every app. Some of the games are console quality in regard to graphics. The sound is also really good for being a thin tablet. I highly recommend this device.
