2022 Apple 10.9-inch iPad Air (Wi-Fi, 64GB) - Purple (5th Generation)

Apple products are always a breeze to use and set up. I use mine for watching media, drawing with the Apple Pencil, and even studying at university.It’s such a great piece of technology that fits perfectly into Apple’s ecosystem, just like any other of their devices.

Best Ipad Air, this has an M1 chip with 8Gb Ram and 256Gb Storage it is just as good as the new M2 model.If you have an apple pencil 2 this still works with this (although not the apple pencil Pro) saving you buying yet another apple pencil if you have had an Ipad before. I found it pretty fast opening and using apps, much faster than my Ipad Mini 6.

Lightweight, easy to use and very easy to set up. It copied all the apps from my iPhone. Great size so I can see the screen easily and I love taking it abroad so that I can still get my email.

I’ve wanted an iPad for the longest time being, last year Christmas is where it all changed. my excuse was that I’ve been stuck with my Samsung tab A from 2016 for 6-7 years and it hurt to let go, but I’m so happy for this upgrade.Got it as a first year uni gift from parents and let me tell you, I was slightly surprised it didn’t come with a pen. Usually when I thought of the latest iPads I pictured THE pen, but alas I had to sacrifice a couple more on it, luckily it was on sale.The iPad colour was space grey, it looked sleek, battery life is amazing unless you play Roblox for too long or use a large document file then that’s gonna drain it. Screen size is huge for a 10.9 inch it’s actually really good, not too square or too long.Speed- superr fast and there’s no lag at all.Setup- took me less than 20 mins since I connected it to my Apple ID through my phoneLook, if you’re here to buy it for education, you won’t be disappointed. If you just want to get it for lifestyle purposes then by all means don’t look no further. It’s the best £600 investment I spent. So yes, get it since it’s fairly brand new even though it’s been out for 2 years, but that isn’t an issue with me so I hope that’s not an issue for you. Is totally worth the money!

Works as expected, build quality amazing!

Great value great product used for uni

Screen, sound and general performance is immense. Very slick, easy to set up and everything is in typical intuitive Apple fashion.I've upgraded from a Samsung Galaxy Tab which was awful in every respect, especially with games, but I needed a budget tablet at the time.Cellular iPad Air 2022 is great, but....I really miss the home button..... also, for the money, it really isn't any better than iPads 3-4 years ago....This is all subjective of course!Annoyingly and reassuringly expensive.

For the last 5 years my previous iPad was stuck in a drawer because I was finding that a combination of iPhone and Mac met my needs. However, I was spending long hours at my desk (which did nothing for posture) or tapping emails and documents on my iPhone (bad for eyesight and plenty of predictive text awkward words for thought or I mis-read) (also bad for RSI).Increasingly I handle home and work tasks on my phone and when I go away I lug my laptop. ‘Lug’ because although it is lightweight, once the fast charger cable and shock protection case are added in it becomes more cumbersome.Three days ago I started something off relaxed on the bed but it was slow and I was squinting so I had to treck to the study. I couldn’t figure out why I had stopped using the iPad, which by now was gathering dust. It is still okay but I compared screen size and weight with the Air 5th generation and decided that I could justify upgrading.I did look at the larger Pro (12 inch diagonal) but it was seven ounces heavier and larger screen size obviously means larger item of kit. Also the Pro has a lot of elements that are of use for graphic designers and the like and would be wasted in terms of my needs.Here I am. Moved data across to new iPad, synchronised Dropbox and Mail and I have a larger screen (enough to make a difference) and the latest in hardware. I use Mac dictate where suitable - it wasn’t safe on the iPhone because I failed to spot inaccuracies due to the screen size. I also took the plunge and bought a Magic Keyboard for work such as spreadsheets where I find it very difficult to handle on a tablet.Why a Mac tablet? Because there just seems to be more thought into the ergonomics and operating system. Also because I have been on a Mac desktop for several years and it is very reliable. I have full integration across 4 Mac devices (phone, tablet, laptop and desktop).Is the 5th generation a sea change? It is more an evolution but with a distinct and yet intangible difference. I usually upgrade every third year because year on year the changes are too small to justify the outlay even though I can get something on trade in.Has it changed my life compare with using the five year old one? No but it just has a better feel. Apple generations are iterative and a tweak here and an extra facility there make for a better experience, just as with changing a car after a while. It still only gets you from A to B but the journey is easier.Why buy from Amazon? Saved a few bob but mainly because Amazon is very good on the rare occasion I need to return an item. By contrast, Apple led me a merry dance when they delivered a piece of kit (a fast charger when I couldn’t find my laptop fast charger) and provided the wrong lead to go with it. All on a recorded call with Apple clearly stating the cable needed.If you are not sure which IPad you want, the Apple site offers a very clear side by side comparison and I read a coupe of technical reviews of the ‘which is best for your needs?’ type.Star rating is because I find Apple functionality faultless. It can take a while to convert from Microsoft or other operating systems but I quickly realised how well thought out the Max OS is. The stars are the same as for all Apple kit i have bought except the keyboard that goes with the desktop. I don’t get that but only because I like a large keyboard.
