    Great For Everyday Use

    I bought the iPad because I was tired of using my iPhone for everything. Lets face it, nowadays the services that everyone uses have better apps than websites because everything has gone mobile. A PC just makes it difficult to get full use of services (looking at you Comcast/Xfinity). The iPad makes a great compromise between getting more screen space on a PC, but gives you most of the functionality of an iPhone. The other great thing, if you have an iPhone, the two work together fairly seamless. As long as a my iPhone is close, I can make phone calls, send and receive text messages so, iPad becomes a giant iPhone. The iPad is lightweight, so throwing it in my backpack every day to take work or trip is not a big deal. I have the keyboard with it, so using it to bang out an occasional email or review is easy peasy. If you’re tired of staring at the small screen of your iPhone, got get one. It’s a game changer.

    Upgraded from the first gen iPad and the difference is amazing. The new iPad is lighter, faster, has a better display, and lots more capacity. The old iPad could not be updated because and as a result we were losing apps. Highly recommend to anyone with an older iPad.

    The iPad to buy in 2019

    I own all the current iPads: Pro 11, Air 3, 6th gen and Mini 5th gen. I have used all 4. I already owned the Pro when the Air came out. So the Pro is my favorite but if I had to buy an iPad today I would go with the Air. Why spend an extra $300? The screen is great. Size and picture quality have greatly improved since the Air 2. This is basically a Pro 10.5 (which I owned). My only problem with the Air 3 is the speakers. There are only two at the bottom. This is very annoying to me. Not worth $300 but a clear cons. And that's coming from someone who don't use these speakers much. Other than that, this is the iPad to buy in 2019.

    I absolutely love using my iPad Air! It’s perfect for me as it is lightweight and the right screen size for me. I use it primarily to take notes and for school. It’s been great so far and I would recommend this if you don’t want to buy the iPad Pro. It’s great if you’re budgeting as well!

    After using the iPad 2 for almost 9 years, it finally quit on me. I wasn’t sure if I wanted the iPad Air or the pro. With help from the sales person at Best Buy I decided to purchase the Air. And I have to say, I am very pleased with its performance, speed. It was a little funny how light it was compared to my old one.

    I purchased this for my wife to upgrade her iPad Air 2, which was approaching 4 years old. Seems a bit funny that a product named "iPad Air" is an upgrade to a product named "iPad Air 2". Thanks Apple for keeping things so clear and straightforward! Joking aside (and names aside), the device is a nice piece of hardware that is noticably spunkier than former models and the larger screen size (10.5" vs. 9.7") is a nice bonus too. I didn't get the Apple Smart Keyboard or Apple Pencil to pair with it; I myself have an iPad Pro with the Smart Keyboard & Apple pencil and love them. It's nice that the new iPad Air is compatible with them for possible future addition (i.e., gifts). She loves it!

    Went back and forth about what to buy, an iPad Pro or an iPad Air, I had a great 6th generation iPad, but I needed a little bit more power. And the iPad Pro is a monster, but I didn’t need all the power. So I went with the New IPad Air.. and I love it, fast, beautiful screen and great battery.

    It has so many different apps and it’s super user friendly. It works incredibly well with the Apple Pencil. I use it to draw, write, keep a calendar of my life! It’s fast, lightweight and can do anything you could possibly want a tablet to do. I’m incredibly happy with my purchase!

    I was looking for a tablet that would be easy to use and convenient for travel. The iPad Air is a great option and I have enjoyed it. Bigger than the iPhone it is great for games and streaming movie and tv shows. The size and weight also makes it convenient for travel.

    I had been using an iPad mini for a number of years but it just became slow and unpredictable. My new iPad is fast, easy, crystal clear picture. As always I feel like the apple products are on the pricey side but quality and usability are top notch!

    This 3rd Generation IPad Air, the latest model, is very fast with the A12 chip. The picture clarity is amazing. It is light weight, thin, and you can add the Apple Pencil and the Smart Keyboard to this model. The sale price at Best Buy was an added bonus.

    When your iPad mini no longer supports certain applications like YouTube, it’s probably time for an upgrade. Better battery life, larger screen, more storage, etc. etc. This was worth the upgrade and was a great accessory in recent interviews to display my work.

    Just the best purchase I could have made. Very easy to use, light in weight and quite powerful. My advice is to make sure to get more memory because eita very easy to fill up with pics and docs.

    I traded my 2018 iPad 6 for this iPad in large part because I thought it would be better able to take advantage of the changes in iPad OS 13 than my 2018 iPad would. Still, I was skeptical about how much of an improvement it would be over my 2018 iPad. It's a very pleasant upgrade over my year old iPad, and well worth it. The screen is larger and better than my original iPad thanks both to the improved color gamut, True Tone, and the laminated display. I don't notice much difference in terms of the speed though the overall experience does feel smoother. The Apple Pencil is more pleasant to use and I appreciate being able to hook up an Apple keyboard to it. But the best part about this iPad is it just feels so much lighter than my 2018 iPad did. I know the weight difference is negligible, but because it's thinner it just feels so much lighter and more comfortable to use.
