    Excellent Tool That Nearly Replaces a Laptop!

    We've been a fan of the iPad for a while, and the iPad Air is no exception. The new model features a thinner and lighter design, great battery life, and the ever-sharp, crisp, and vibrant Retina Display. We purchased the LTE-enabled version and are always using it on the go. We're running Microsoft's CloudDrive Office Suite and use the iPad as an (almost) laptop replacement. We've paired it with a bluetooth keyboard and stylus to get the most out of our apps, and it works beautifully. Set up is a breeze, and battery life isn't an issue. With light to moderate use (so far) we get plenty of power. The iPad air is definitely a great combination of capability, compactness, and value!

    This new iPad is faster, lighter and has a much sharper display than our older iPad. Definitely would recommend this model or the mini version.

    Great option if this is your first ipad or if you have an ipad 2 or earlier with the slower cell service and non retina screen. The retina screen is beautiful, the processor is super fast, and the device is very slim and light. Very comfortable to hold, but the side bezels are a little narrow if reading (you have to be careful not to flip a page by accidentally touching the screen). It also comes free with the apple productivity suite (pages, numbers, Keynote, iPhoto, iMovie, and garage band) which are great.

    Beautiful tablet...lighter and faster than my old ipad 2, and of course a clearer screen. It's speed really does make a difference, eg on projects with many PDFs to open. I was intending to buy the retina mini, but at the last moment got this, and am so glad I did... It's weight and width decrease makes it somewhat 'mini' anyway, at least for me. And honestly, with middleaged eyes I do not think Id be happy with a much smaller screen

    The iPad Air is a wonderful machine! We chose the 32 GB just to be sure we would have room for lots of pictures of a collection, so that they will be handy when away from home. The iPad Air is so slim and that it even fits in some purses! I suggest buying a book and how to use the iPad Air. You will learn the basics quicker and be able to use more of this machine's potential. I bought a slim magnetic cover that shuts the iPad down and wakes it up instantly and doesn't take up much room (though it does add quite a bit to the weight).

    This is an addition to my ipad mini, and the quality of the screen and speed of the processor is really amazing! One word of caution, if you travel a lot like me and want to turn cellular data off and on, you NEED to use the prepaid (built-in) option. There are charges to activate and deactivate if you put it on your regular Verizon phone bill. There are no additional charges for prepaid service and it works very smoothly.

    The I-pad air is an improvement on previous versions but not so much so that I would recommend upgrading. If you need a new tablet then get the I-Pad air but if you have a relatively new I-Pad then it isn't worth the expense.

    Besides the photo quality of either camera being grainy and wishing it was able to be louder, everything else is great! It processes fast and really does have a beautiful picture and is smaller in actual size while the screen size is the same as an iPad 3. I recommend this product!

    Great weight. Great size. The Mac products are the very best even though they are at a higher price. I wouldn't buy any other brand on the market. The Mac products are state of the art. Can't wait for the iPhone 6 to come out in a few days. Definitely will buy one of them. I want to be able to hold both sizes before I make a decision. Go Apple!

    I love my new iPad Air! It was so easy learn how to use it and it helps me accomplish so many tasks! I love reading books on it because it has an easy to read screen. The battery life is good and I can go several days without changing it! It is compact, but still large enough to be complete tasks with ease.

    The retinal display is fabulous for old eyes. This iPad is much faster than my previous version. However the staff was not always the best at applying the screen saver and had to change it 3 times.

    The new I pad air works great for both work and personal use. It is faster and better screen quality than the last generation I pad which I also own.
