Review: Very Happy Purchase — I’d Buy It Again in a Minute - I’ve been extremely happy with this iPad Air. It’s a beautiful, dependable, incredibly fast device with a stunning display and excellent battery life. Everything about it feels seamless. I simply connect it to Wi-Fi and it becomes another convenient port of entry into the cyber world. I use mine constantly—even keeping it handy in the bathroom and reading it like a newspaper. It’s lightweight, responsive, easy to use, and the M1 chip gives it more than enough speed for anything I’ve asked it to do. The Liquid Retina display is gorgeous, the battery lasts well, and the overall build quality is exactly what I expect from Apple. It has become one of those devices I didn’t realize I’d use quite this much until I owned one. Very happy with this purchase. I’d buy another one in a minute.
Review: A Perfect Upgrade for My Wife's Digital Life! - My wife's old iPad Air 2 was starting to show its age, so for her birthday, I decided it was time for an upgrade. After listening to her needs – mainly video streaming, web browsing, emails, and reading – I landed on the 5th generation iPad Air. Now, I'll admit, I'm not the biggest fan of Apple phones, but they definitely know how to make a great tablet. Initially, I was debating between a tablet and a laptop, but the iPad Air proved to be the perfect middle ground. With a good keyboard case (sold separately, of course), it essentially becomes a versatile laptop replacement for her. And honestly, it's been a fantastic choice. The M1 chip is a powerhouse. Everything is incredibly smooth and responsive. Streaming videos is a breeze, web browsing is snappy, and even handling larger email attachments is no problem. The 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display is absolutely gorgeous. The colors are vibrant, the text is crisp, and it's just a pleasure to look at. My wife loves how lightweight and portable it is. She can easily take it from room to room or toss it in her bag when she's on the go. The battery life is also impressive. She can easily get through a full day of use without needing to recharge. The 64GB storage is plenty for her needs, as she mainly uses it for streaming and browsing. And the Wi-Fi 6 connectivity ensures a fast and reliable internet connection. I also appreciate the Touch ID feature. It's convenient and secure. And the cameras, both front and back, are surprisingly good for a tablet. Overall, the iPad Air has been a huge hit with my wife. It's a powerful, versatile, and beautiful tablet that perfectly meets her needs. It's a great gift that's both practical and enjoyable. I'm happy to say that this was a 5-star purchase!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does Amazon offer a trade in? Apple offers a $125.00 trade in for my current iPad.**
A: Yes there is an option. My iPad Air 3 64g has a trade in value of $150 is very good condition. And apple only offered me $30!

**Q: Can you add an external hard drive?**
A: Add the magic keyboard ( expensive $300, to be honest yes you’ll want it as it magnetically attaches to ipad and on bottom left it has a usb-c port for charging only but frees up the ipads usb-c port for external ssd OR ( delete keyboard and grab $70 compatable dock with multi usb-c and og usb ports and hdmi out ) get both. Expensive yes BUT the ipad air 2022 has the m1 cpu 8 core 8 gpu core and 16 core nueral learning engine and 8 gigs of ram. I have apple mini mac, mac air 2021 and 11” ipad pro all with m1 processor and even though m2 is out its still a desktop class chip capable of blowing away anything from intel in its class range. tbh i’d wait to see if it drops back to $519 but hooked to a dock and tv/monitor its pretty close to a full laptop ( it doesnt run full mac op system but as a trade off it is close with its apps AND its a touch screen that can be removed from magnet keyboard ( with dock still plug in mouse use on tv etc ) and mac laptops except ipad set ups are not touch screen. Sorry to sound like a fan boy but yea i am a big fan of m1 chip! Became believer replacing my windows tower which sounded like a jet taking off to completely quiet system! Cheers!

**Q: How does the 5th gen compare to 4th gen apple ipad air 256gb?**
A: DjSjR provided a great answer. One additional note is that the M1 processor in the 5th gen Air will allow it to support full screen external monitor use with stage manager.  It’s a great feature and is currently in iPad OS 16.2.1 Dev Beta. Only M1 iPads will support this addition. When plugged into a 4K external monitor, it looks a lot like Mac OS with windowing, a dock, and drag and drop files and windows between the iPad and the external monitor. I think this upcoming feature / better CPU / GPU performance, plus the improved camera make the 5th gen Air a good choice vs the 4th gen Air. That said, the 4th gen Air is also a great device.

**Q: is it compatible with the 2nd gen apple pencil?**
A: Yes. One hundred percent. Ordered this for my mom for Mother’s Day and bought the 2nd gen pencil from target they correspond well. This sticks right to the side no problem at all, charges, connected and works with all the apps and goodnotes and other downloadable products.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Replaced my original iPad Mini
*by J***B on May 28, 2022*

The iPad 2 was my first iPad, I moved on to the original iPad Air and then the iPad mini. I'm not crazy to upgrade to the latest iPad so I have to base my experience off some older devices. Other iOS devices include the Apple Pencil 2, iPhone XR and I also own a 2019 Mac Book Pro. It seems every time I open a new Apple device I always find myself smiling simply by unboxing the item. Definitely held true with this device. Before making this purchase I balanced the features and functions of this iPad Air Gen5 with the iPad Pro and the latest iPad mini offered in May 2022. Balancing the performance and features, I found the iPad Air to be the best compromise. I liked that it has the same processor as the iPad pro and I wanted a larger display than my previous iPad Mini. I opted for the 256 GB version which when comparing price, the 128 GB pro isn't much more but I was trying to stay in a budget as this was going to be used as a study tool and if I decided I didn't like my experience, I'd pass the device along to a family member. What I do with my iPad device: * Read * Take notes * Web browse * YouTube Everything on this device is very snappy, as things always are with new iOS devices. The screen is quite vibrant and extremely responsive. Reading: I have not made this my daily driver for reading, but I am an Amazon Comixology subscriber and I find this experience is really nice. I generally read on my iPhone XR, as it is very easy to hold and always on me. I've read on the new iPad a few times, but still find myself reading books on my phone still as I don't worry about falling asleep in bed with it and dropping it on the floor. Taking notes: Wow, this is my first time using the Apple Pencil, but what a great experience. I used the built-in notes app for a couple days but then downloaded GoodNotes 5. What a great combination for taking notes. My only possible gripe is a noticeable shadow appears around the tip of the Apple Pencil when moving it around, not sure if that's a feature or an artifact of the LCD, but it annoys me on a rare occasion. Web browsing: Great experience as it is on other iPad devices. A really great feature I've found is taking a screenshot of a web page in reader view and capturing the full website and then importing into GoodNotes5 for markup. YouTube: I can have YouTube open to the side and take notes while watching an instructional video, very handy. Overall, it's a great device. I didn't need a better camera (iPad Pro), as I don't take many pictures with any of my devices. The iPad Pro offers a better screen resolution and a higher frame rate, I don't think I need it for my use though. The Mini would be a little more portable, but I'd still have to put it in a bag to carry it around so I think for the price the iPad Air 5th gen is the overall best choice for me.
