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

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

I was upragding from an IPad 2 and am pleased with the increase in speed even though wi-fi speeds here are dreadful the bigger processor has made a difference. I was amazed at thiw easy it was just to download all the information from the iCloud and there was everything as it should be.

Quality; weight; speed of operation

It is functional, and does what we require of it. Have not got to grips with everything yet, but are getting there.

Purchased two of these a few weeks back now to replace a 5 year old iPad that the family has been sharing, the new ones's are for my wife and I, I purchased the pencil's with them too.

This product is a requirement at my son's school when he becomes a Freshman next year at a private high school. The staff there has given it raving reviews.

Durable; Easy To Configure; Lightweight; Quiet; Versatile

My son love to watch videos and play games on his iPad. He loved how much better the graphics are on the new iPad. The camera is also a lot better and the sound is very clear. There are so many upgrades on this iPad it is amazing, my son had to check something on his old iPad and he told us he...

App Availablity; Easy To Customize; Screen; Web Browsing

Charging time; Speaker Quality

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.

Not a must-have for owners of the original iPad Air, but a great buy for owners of older iPads and first-timers

Slim and light; Flawless responsiveness; Fast; Useful Continuity features

iCloud features have some problems; No waterproofing

Bought for my son as a replacement as his old ipad was stolen in a burglary at our house. This one is a much better version, lighter, quicker and more storage. He loves it!
