    Bought to replace my original iPad Air

    I have the original iPad Air with 16gb of storage. With that small storage and the older processor, I decided it was time to upgrade to this third generation of iPad Air. It is quite the upgrade and I’m happy to have made it. I would recommend this product for anyone who is looking for a tablet that can do a lot, but not quite everything the iPad Pro does, at a more fair price. Especially if you are already an Apple user with your phone.

    Perfect screen size for the price. I was able to replace my much larger laptop with this iPad. Very light weight which makes it easier to travel. When comparing to the 11 inch iPad Pro, I could not justify the price difference between the 2. Also 1st gen iPad Pro 10.5 accessories are compatible with the new air so there are plenty of accessories available.

    I'm a grad student and bought the iPad air to take notes on. There was definitely a small learning curve at first which was slightly frustrating when trying to keep up with lectures but that was only for maybe a week. Now that I can maneuver through it, the iPad air has made my life so much easier! If you do get it for note taking make sure to also purchase a matte screen protector, it makes writing with the apple pencil more realistic.

    Apple IPad Air 3

    I had the apple iPad Air 2 prior to getting this tablet, which I loved.... but wanted a little bit larger screen.... but didn’t see a need nor desire to shell out the required $$$ to buy the 11” iPad Pro. This Air 3 fit the bill EXACTLY! It has the same awesome screen quality and features of my Air 2 PLUS the bigger screen... and has faster screen refresh, faster wireless speeds, and snappier processing speed. Perfect tablet, in my eyes!

    Amazing investment for college students

    I should start with saying that the employee did everything he could to get the total as low as possible, which I really appreciated as I am a college student. This has to be the best money I've spent on a piece of tech for college. I recommend that you get the Apple Pencil along with this if you are buying it mainly for writing notes. This iPad and Pencil along with the app "GoodNotes" has made me actually want to write notes. The switching between colors, sizes, tools, and much more is so seamless that I spend hours on end writing notes now and don't even notice. The iPad itself is very fast, has a decent capacity for 64gb, and the screen is very clear. Some things I'd recommend to college student who have to handwrite notes because of diagrams, lewis models, or just science in general would be the following: Apple Pencil GoodNotes App ($8 app, but well worth it) PaperLike screen protector (It gives the screen a more gritty feeling when writing with the pencil so that it feels more like writing on paper rather than glass. If you don't like it you can just take it off though, and they send you an extra in case you change your mind after taking it off). UAG portfolio case

    This iPad is a great replacement for my older but still functioning iPad Air 2. I like that it is just below the iPad Pro but is just as powerful in my opinion due to the lower cost, upgraded A12 Bionic Chip, thin design, and even more powerful performance. Thank you for providing just the right tool that makes it so easy to perform my daily tasks. I appreciate the reduced price on this great machine. Thank you!

    Great product but battery degradation is an issue

    Ipad Air 3.. It was totally awesome for the first year, but it's a few months short of 2 years and the battery doesn't seem to last as long. I notice the battery lasts somewhere between 25-30% less compared to a year ago (it's on it's second year of ownership), depending on the application usage. This replaced a 3 year old iPad pro that did much better (battery-wise). The former experienced only a 20% battery degradation issue over 3 years ,compared to the same in less than 2 years with the Air. -- I wonder if it's an issue with the newer updates or simply a design flaw. Definitely user friendly and easy to use, but at the premium pricing compared to alternatives, I would expect a premium battery be equipped too..

    Bought these for two of my grandchildren to use to download school books and do their homework on. Also one does his billing on it for his lawn service business. Helps them to be organized and they love them. I can even FaceTime them to keep in touch. We are very happy with these I-Pads and the Best Buy warranty we got also.

    My first new iPad model since 2013. Old one is still working great but getting slow with new iOS updates. This new one is super-fast with much better battery life and a lighter so I can hold it longer in my arthritic hands. Visual quality is better than ever and with boost in speed I am going back and playing games that I had given up on. Hope this one lasts 7 years.

    I have an ipad air 3 tablet . After several years of use the battery began to weaken so I purchased the current ipad air tablet. It was great from the first use. I was able to easily transfer all information by have the tablets side by side. All information was transferred . I enjoy the larger screen and the overall ease of use of the tablet. I highly recommend this tablet.
