    The Value Sweet Spot in the iPad line

    As of this writing, and most especially if you obtain this when on sale (during the thanksgiving week BB sold this for $430), a 32G LTE-enabled iPad Air (*not* Air2) is the price-performance sweet spot in Apple's iPad line. 32G's a fair amount of storage. The Air 2 is only slightly thinner/lighter and marginally faster if at all than the Air. Do the math for yourself and patient scout for sale time.

    Great Upgrade

    This is an upgrade from my previous iPads. I had an iPad 1 and iPad 2, and I've used every version. This is by far the best iPad I've owned or used. The light weight of the iPad makes a significantly better to use, especially for extended periods of time. The lighter weight doesn't sacrifice battery life, which is fantastic. Its also extremely quick when loading web pages or playing games. The only downside is that extensive multitasking can be slow or occasionally cause the iPad to reboot.

    I've never had an Apple product before. I've always been a fan of Windows. I have to say, I like my iPad Air a lot! I may even go to an iPhone next time. This thing is light, easy to navigate, has great battery life and has great apps. I can even get my Google Maps for navigation. I was not willing to give that up. I researched other tablets and was balking on the iPad because of the price, but I think I made a great choice.

    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 new iPad Air is noticeably lighter. Battery life is long and the . Love the ease of use and functionality. Graphics are clear and brilliant. I use it daily and take it to work also. Overall it's a great personal device for work and daily life. I would recommend it highly. I also have a lap top but end up not using as much anymore. It's also great for games and viewing photos.

    I wanted an ereader that I could use in the sun. The iPad is a second tablet in the house but does more than my other one. It is the ereader I wanted, syncs with the iPhone and my calendars. It is lightweight and easy to travel with.

    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.

    I just bought this iPad Air for a Christmas gift. I had it set up in minutes using my old Apple ID. The screen resolution is amazing, as is the speed. It is 10x faster than my original iPad. It is used for personal, as well as for business. If you are in the market for an iPad, the Air is highly recommended. Lightweight and very powerful.

    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!
