Just Fantastic!
I really like this iPad Air! Itâs beautiful, lightweight and has plenty of storage and features! Since my M1 only had 64 GB; it was easy to fill up. But, with this new beauty, I can add as many apps as I wish! The price was good and it will give me years of service. Some tech-savvy users talk about the refresh rate as compared to the iPad Pro. I have an M1 Pro and I donât compare the two. I just know that when I am using either one of the 3; I am thoroughly satisfied with overall performance! Love me some iPads ð¤©

Upgrade from a gen 5 Ipad
I recently purchased a new IPad Air M2 to upgrade from a generation 5 IPad. So far, it has been a seamless experience. I am still using the older IPad for a second screen or for listening to music or streaming, but the new IPad has pretty much taken over the du ties of my MacBook Pro too! I purchased an Apple Pencil for work and it has worked out pretty well so far. It is nice being able to write again. My fingers were getting tired of the typing motion so it will be nice to switch between the two mediums. I highly recommend the new IPad Air 11 inch M2. It makes me feel all grown up and super productive! : )

Love it
This is my very first brand new iPad and I love it. The tablet is the solid quality I expect from Apple, and the storage will be fine for me as I donât have a lot of apps on it yet. It does come loaded with a full suite of apple apps, which is a great way to get started. I was able to use my iPhone to set it up and it only took me a few minutes. The bright and large screen is much easier on my eyes than my iPhone. It is a bit heavier than I expected once I put it in my case, but I donât mind because of the size and protective quality of the case. Iâve already taken it on a trip out of town, and it works great.

The iPad that plays second fiddle, but should be the one everyone buys!
I was in the market for a smaller iPad, I previously had a 13 inch iPad Pro but found that it was actually TOO big for what I used it for. I was excited when I saw Apple announce the new iPad Mini 7th Generation. but when I looked at the actual specs, it was actually really disappointing.And then I started looking into the iPad Air 11-inch with M2 chip. For an extra 50 dollars compared to the $499 price tag for the new Mini, I get a much better chip (M2 vs. A17), a slightly bigger screen, a landscape positioned front facing camera for video calls, and overall just a more powerful machine.Let’s face it, unless you are a video editor or use your iPad as your computer replacement, a M2 chip is WAYYYY more powerful than what your average user uses their iPad for. I mainly use it to consume entertainment, fire off iMessages with my friends, watch YouTube, surf the web, or play a few games, and the iPad Air M2 does all of this seamlessly. And the 11 inch form factor is perfect when you are lying in bed or traveling.At $550 (the current price on Amazon, and what I paid for) the Air is an absolute no brainer and should be future proof for a good 3-5 years.Buy the iPad Air with confidence!

Bigger than the iPad Mini’s I’ve owned.
Bigger and heavier than the iPad Mini’s I’ve owned, from the first generation to the 5th generation.After a few drops of my 5th gen iPad Mini, its display started giltching. I’ve had it from its release day to present. So it’s been a few years. I was going to upgrade to the 6th gen Mini next, but being sixty-ish…… things are harder to see, so I decided a bigger, more productive iPad would be the better buy.This iPad Air M2 11″ is awesome! So many upgrades and definitely a more productive tablet! Reading at night is so much easier. Using a keyboard and typing up reports and ideas is so much better. Gaming is so satisfying and it’s just the second day of owning this tablet!The journey from the very first iPad Mini to 3rd and 5th generation to this, just astounds me! And to think it all started with a Kindle for reading.I highly recommend the iPad Air M2 11″ and may, in a few years, upgrade to an iPad Pro in the future!

You Need to Know Your Use Case
I own a regular iPad and a 13â IPad Pro. The iPad Air is replacing my regular iPad. The reason for replacing my regular iPad is that my iPad is old, the battery does not hold a charge as long as I would like and the touch screen was getting inconsistent to my touch. The iPad was slowly dying and I chose to get a deal with Black Friday as opposed to waiting for the device to fail completely.You might ask why I didnât just use my iPad Pro. The reason is simple: the iPad Pro is bigger and heavier and I added the Magic Keyboard, which while a nice keyboard is heavy. I found myself using my regular iPad because it was just lighter and more easily portable. I still use the iPad Pro, but I just donât like walking around with it. For light use, the bigger screen just doesnât matter that much to me.I went for the iPad Air primarily because the device was on sale for $100 off and the base Air has more storage than the regular iPad. Also, instead of getting a Magic Keyboard, I got a Logitech combo case and keyboard that is much lighter. This is an iPad I want to walk around with. In retrospect, I question the use case for the iPad Pro. At that size and weight (including the Magic Keyboard), Iâd just get a Mac.Other than that, the Air is a regular iPad with more memory for most people. It seems to work just like my old iPad, just shiny, new and a bit faster. Biggest different is that the finger print scanner is on the side of the Air, which is nicer and the screen is nicer. But there are no âday and nightâ differences.It works the way it should. Seems to connect better than my old iPad. I also got a better case this time. The old one was more bulky and connected via Bluetooth and there were always delays in connecting with the iPad. The new case is designed for the Air, connects the same way as the Magic Keyboard and does not need to be separately charged. All the things that irritated me about my old iPad are now gone and I am now a âhappy camper.â As for anyone who has a working iPad, I cannot tell you that you will see much difference from your old iPad. Aside from the issues with my old iPad, I would not have made this purchase. The improvements in the iPad are just too incremental to recommend upgrading for the sake of upgrading.
