Purchased to replace my 4.5 year old iPad 3 (the first version with retina display). The upgrade was well worth the bother. iPad Air 2 has a much faster processor, making tasks that had become irritatingly slow on my old device a breeze on the new one. Display, as always, is brilliant.

I formerly had a Kindle Fire (2011 model) before I got the iPad Air 2. The Air 2 is a massive upgrade over the Kindle Fire in every way (when it is 3 years newer, it should be). The screen is really nice.

Top of the line; Excellent camera; Very fluid; Runs 20+ apps at once

Expensive

I received my new iPad Air a few weeks ago. I am totally in love. I was able to transfer everything I needed to do business with ease. Smart purchase indeed.

I purchased this item yesterday. It might sound dumb, but I wanted to play a game that I love. The game kept kicking me out and causing me all kinds of headaches. So, I bit the bullet and purchased the apple ipad air 2 and boy am I happy. It is like stepping into the 21st century from the dark ages.

I bought this because my iPad2 was really slow and starting to act up and do strange things.The iPad Air2 is lightning fast in comparison. It's retinal display is a real pleasure as well.

I've had an iPhone for several years and this is my first iPad. i bought it to use for work. So far I'm very happy with it. It's much easier than carrying my laptop around with me and I can do pretty much the same things with it that I could do with the laptop.

I purchased this item expecting it to be new and not refurbished costing me an excessive amount of stress and difficulty. I've had it only 3 months but it is now outside the return period so I am left with a device that barely is functioning, and needs to be trashed.

The only pitfall with my purchase is that it is not eligible for Apple Care Plus, being that my first IPad motherboard fried, I thought being able to protect my refurbished one would be a great idea......not so. I will pray that this one lives a much longer life than my first one!

If you're short of time and need to get off then all you need to heed is this, the iPad Air 2 is the best tablet we've ever reviewed. Apple has done it again and improved on the already excellent iPad Air (that's remains on sale for a lower price) from 2013.

Screen doesn't reflect much; Great performance; Ultra-slim design; Improved camera

Battery life a little lower; 16GB version storage too low

When we began this review 3,000 words ago, we wanted to determine whether the iPad Air 2 was as perfect in 2014 as the iPad Air was in 2013. The answer is yes. It has earned the same perfect score as its predecessor, making the iPad Air line the only two products to which we have ever awarded...

Gorgeous design; thinner and lighter than last model; tri-core CPU screams; double RAM of last model; long battery life; excellent photography for a tablet; fingerprint recognition; excellent selection of apps; still easy to use

Drawbacks will be subjective, such as a less open app ecosystem; lacks 60fps video capture of iPhone line; speaker quality reduced versus predecessor
