    Great new iPad Air!

    I have been using an iPad since they first came out. This is by far the fastest and the screen size is huge with a very light weight. I added a flexible case to protect the back and a screen cover to keep it from getting scratched and it is still light. I haven't had it long and am noticing several differences from my 4 year old iPad Pro but still find it easy to use.

    Walmart iPads more likely to malfunction?

    iPad arrived broken out of the box. I was unable to turn it on, even after following all of Apple's recommended troubleshooting steps. Looks like I got a faulty model. I'd recommend to others to purchase at Apple rather than Walmart to avoid the same issue.

      Essential item for 2025 American Living!!!

      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Apple iPad Air is the perfect combo of precision, speed, and just plain awesome!!!! This thing is so great! It helps me make my ideas into actual products, that I can use, in the real world. Without this thing, my life would be hard. I strongly suggest this product. If you like to design and make stuff…. Anything, then, get yourself this product!!!!! You won't ever regret it!!! Apple is the best choice for creating things. Check it out!!!!

      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am learning to use it pretty easily and it will be very helpful for my work as a pianist/organist. All previous music purchases From Music Notes are now available on my iPad thru their app. Plan to scan and catalog a lot of my personal sheet music as well

      Get ‘em when they go on special sale

      Bought this during a special (like Amazon) so I saved some money. My old iPad Pro needed to be plugged in all the time. With a Logitech Combo Touch, it is almost like having a laptop.
