    This iPad is much faster than ipad2 I had. The colors are brilliant. There is a big difference between this and the other iPad. Much more pleased with the faster response . Would recommend this model to upgrade to.

    This is a great tablet, works great and no real bugs, but Apple has learned how to make money so everything costs. I had difficulty transferring from 2 to 3 and still problems with my ID and Passwd. I had to delete and reload all my apps. Also when you put things on the cloud it only transfers apple things. Home videos don't transfer, so you have to go back to your computer with iTunes...that's a big pain. Good things include ease of use, convenient to carry, versatile, and good battery life. I would recommend it to anyone who travels, healthcare professionals, coaches and teachers.

    Love love it!! I upgraded from the original IPad, which totally worked great in itself, but after playing with the 4th generation in Best Buy I could not refuse! My husband is now the proud owner of my "old" IPad while I am the super proud owner of the IPad with retina! We use our IPads for everything and don't except to ever not own one! Great job Apple!

    I thoroughly enjoy this iPad w/Retina display; very versatile device. I have had each version of the iPad and this is the best one yet. I find it to be noticeably faster with absolutely outstanding resolution. It is truly enhanced when using IOS 7 new operating system. Apple has done a great job with this as I have no desire for other tablet devices.

    Made the purchase in part because we wanted to take it with us on a long driving vacation. Though a new user, I found it easy to get the info I needed, invaluable for navigating to new places and get ourselves out of spots we didn't mean to go to. Also loved the instant weather info, traffic warnings, being able to make reservations on the road as we approached a stopping place, and finding info about new places that helped us enjoy being there. I like that its small and handy to use even at home - it's my go-to info source. Loved all the help we were given by the Best Buy staff in helping us set it up and get us out the door ready to use it.

    Upgraded from 1st gen iPad. Best Buy made it easy with a generous trade-in allowance, and $75 credit from Reward Zone purchases. No hassle purchase, easy to configure, absolutely amazing screen resolution. Processor is considerably faster than my wife's iPad2.

    I bought my own iPad with retina after using one for work. I got this because I am going back to graduate school, and an iPad seemed the easiest way to manage these. There are some great apps (nook, kindle, goodreader, and quickoffice for starters) that make the iPad a one-stop shop for all my course readings. It's hard to take hand-written notes even with the stylus, so a bluetooth keyboard is a must if you want to also use it for notes.

    This was as easy as my iPhone to set up. Turn it on the first time and follow the prompts. The retina display is AMAZING, and the LTE is blazing fast. The virtual keyboard takes some getting used to, but overall the utility and functionality are as you'd expect from Apple.

    Simple Perfection

    I love this product. It holds many uses and is thin. At first, this product seems heavy, real heavy. After a few days of continuos use, it seems light, one gets used to the split "thumb" keyboard. The retina screen is marvellous, making it perfect for watching HD movies and Netflix. However, if you are in the medical field, I would also suggest the mini for its portable size, easily fits in the scrub pockets.

    I love my I-Pad with Retina Display; I can use it for work, pleasure and travel. The only downside is it's very difficult to see anything on the screen when you are outside in the sun. If I tried to take my I-Pad to the lake or beach to read, it would be nearly impossible. Otherwise, I use it every day and absolutely love it!

    This iPad is my first Apple product. I was apprehensive because of the price, but after using it for a few days, I realized it was definately worth every penny. There isn't anything I can't do with my new iPad. The screen with the retina display is amazing, and the apps available through the App Store are endless! LOVE IT!!!
