    LOVE IT

    Needed my own iPad instead of always using my wife’s. I love to draw so I mainly use it for procreate. The battery life is great. I can draw almost a whole day or two on one charge. I got the blue one. The color is nice. It’s a blue metallic. The weight is incredible. It feels like nothing. It performs very well. I haven’t had any issues. The reaction time and speed are very good as well. I use it everyday. I love it. 10/10

    I had an IPad years ago, and while a nice tablet, it frustrated me how difficult it was to load music and videos on it from my PC. I stayed away for a long time, but thought I'd give Apple one more try. Apple has totally fixed that irritation since then, as file transfers are much easier in Itunes with this tablet and PC. Another thing that kept me away from Apple was the lack of expandable storage (micro SD slot) in every phone and tablet. An SD slot should always be included on any tablet over $300, but the lack of one makes you upgrade sooner, whuch is a garbage move by Apple. Combined with Apple's ridiculous premium $ they charged for higher storage capacity, I just stayed away. With this latest tablet, Apple finally charged a somewhat fair price for 256GB in storage, so I bought it. Gotta say, I love it now. ITunes works easily with my PC. Plenty of storage at 256GB. Nice and bright screen. Fingerprint ID button placement seems a little odd, but you get used to it quickly. It works every time. Long battery life. Includes fantastic M2 chip, which pretty much destroys every Android tablet chip. All in all, a ery nice tablet. Now Apple, about that micro SD slot......

    It's a great, super fast. It's my first time using an apple device. I still prefer my android tablet that I used to have. But as with my galaxy tab, for the task I use like reading, browsing, and watching videos, this too seems too powerful and kind of feels like a underused. So, make sure you first thing of what you are going to use it for. If you are never going to use the power of the m2 chip, you would be better off spending money on the 10th generation or get a fire tablet or the galaxy A9. Again, the tablet is fantastic, but not worth the money if all you are going to do is watch, read, and browse.

    Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2024
    Style: Wi-FiSize: 256GBColor: Space GrayVerified Purchase
    So for years I have been wanting Apple to make a tablet that is a perfect replacement for my Macbook Air. This to me is exactly that. With the keyboard and case, this is essentially an 11" laptop with a removable touchscreen screen. A dream come true in a lot of ways for artists, writers, and teachers like myself. One warning though, it ONLY works with the new Apple Pencil Pro and the Apple Pencil (USB-C). It does NOT work with the Apple Pencil (2nd Generation) that worked on the previous iPad Air 4th and 5th gen.

    I send this as a warning because I have the iPad mini (6th gen) and Apple Pencil (2nd Generation) and they work brilliantly together for what I need. When I got this new iPad Air M2 The Apple Pencil (2nd Generation) was not working on it. It was not securely connecting magnetically where it should and it was not registering on the iPad M2 when I did get it to slightly connect. I thought it was the iPad Air M2 that was busted but after a call with Apple themselves this morning it was cleared up. Late last night in my panic and frustration with buying a new device that seemed to be defective I began the process of a return. Amazon does not offer exchanged on this product. This morning though when I called Apple I was told that the description on the apple site says "Supports Apple Pencil Pro. Supports Apple Pencil (USB‑C)" and I figured it would work with the Apple Pencil (2nd Generation) as well but it does not. Return was canceled and I ordered the Apple Pencil pro.

    So if you, like me, have the Apple Pencil (2nd Generation) and it works on previous models of iPads perfectly and it charges perfectly and it does NOT work this new model iPad Air M2, you're not crazy and your new iPad is not broken, you just need either the Apple Pencil Pro or the Apple Pencil (USB-C).

    It is still an amazing device. Truly spectacular for what I need. I love love love it for sure, don't get me wrong. Apple just makes this stupid decisions and I want to reach out and people know they might need to get yet another apple device to use with this new apple device. I assume a LOT of people are going to be getting this iPad Air M2 model to replace their previous iPad air 4th or 5th generation model. Logic would say that the previous amazing top of the line apple pencil that worked on the previous models iPad Air would work on the new M2 model. Nope. Just a heads up. 5 stars because the device is still incredible -1 star because Apple is a pain in the arse at times.
