    I am absolutely thrilled with this iPad upgrade. Previously, I used an iPad Air 4, but this new purchase has exceeded my expectations. Now, I can utilize the stage manager app, and the iPad also supports external monitors—a game changer for my productivity. It has quickly become my primary device for nearly all my computing tasks. Whether I'm on the go or in my home office, where it seamlessly connects to my 40-inch monitor alongside a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, it handles everything effortlessly. To those who doubt the iPad's capabilities as a serious computing device, I say: don't listen to the nay-sayers. You should purchase this device, if you do not, you will be sad, lonely & all your friends will say not very nice things about you.... okay, that last part may not be entirely true.

    I couldn’t decide between the 11 or the 13. I ended up going on Reddit and Reddit was saying if you got the 13 and you like to read in bed then it was a bad choice because it’s hard to hold. So I decided to go with the 11 inch and I couldn’t be happier. It is so much more diverse. It’s still big and bulky, but I can do a lot more with it. I really like the Apple Pencil. It’s been really helpful with work related things. You can do so many things with the iPad it’s touchscreen. You can use the Apple Pencil. There’s so many different cases. I got a Bluetooth keyboard and it is so nice. so easy to set up. I use it in my car for my toddler and it is a game changer. The performance is great. The picture is great and it charges fast. Since I got it, I’ve only charged it once and I’ve used it every day.

    After 5 years I decided it was time to finally upgrade to a new iPad and I’m so glad I did! The screen response is very quick and the graphics quality is perfect for what I need. The main reason I updated was that I need more storage, and I’m very please with how much storage this iPad has. Additionally, the screen and over all size of this iPad is perfect if you just plan to use it for personal use (like watching movies or taking notes). On that note, it also has AMAZING battery life. I can go a good week without needing to charge it! (With light use of course.) Over all, I am very pleased!!

    I bought this to replace my iPad Pro 2022 because the battery was getting bad. This battery is awesome and lasting well past 8 hours. 10 easily if not using the Apple Pencil much. The purple is so pretty and silver in some lighting. If you’re thinking about the Air Gen 5 vs this one-hands down go with the M2. For $160 more you extra 64GB and M2 chip. Well worth it. I went 11 over the 13 inch screen because I have a MacBook 14 inch already and wanted smaller for portability.

    I bought the iPad Air to replace a 2018 iPad Pro which had some earned honorable battle scars, dents, and scratches, but was valiantly chugging along with an aging battery. I was surprised that for my daily use I could see no detectable differences in display or speed. I was especially surprised that an obsidian display of some 8000 notes took about the same time to form on each machine. I have not timed it, but then I am concerned with perception and not numbers. A imperceptible difference is not a difference.

    The two machines are now my constant companions. I use one while the other charges and the major difference is the color of their cover. Instead of a replacement I feel I purchased a younger, companionable, clone.

    I am satisfied with my purchase. The combination of Apple tablet, watch, and phone continues to be unsurpassed, though I have replaced my MacBook Pro and Mac Mini with a Linux laptop.

    I am undecided about the new Apple Pencil. My second generation pencil does not work with the air, but a no-name pencil I purchased from Amazon in 2022 works intermittently. I can usually get it to work again by closing and reopening the program I am using. The pencil is still on sale for $9.99 but I will probably purchase the $15.99 model with fast charge and palm rejection before considering the generation 3 pencil.

    I am a college full professor and use these devices primarily for research, writing, preparing and delivering classes, and general office functions. Number crunching is done on the laptop.
