I bought this Monday evening and it was with me Tuesday morning. Very happy. The Ipad itself is amazing. I've had Motorolo and Samsung tablets in the past and this one trumps them all. I've downloads over 40 apps and I've still got 101gb free space. Very very happy boy over here.

very fun to play on and a grate photo.

Plain and simple, the iPad Air is Apple's best 9.7-inch iPad tablet to date. It's faster than any previous version, it has a gorgeous display that doesn't care what angle you view it from, there's a burly processor inside, and it's significantly lighter and thinner than even the previous model.

Light and Sturdy; Sexy Display; Hello A7; How Do You Do?; Amazing Battery Life; Improved FaceTime Camera

High Expectations; Stale Features; Put Those Speakers Up Front

It's hard to believe but it's been less than four years since Apple released the iPad, opening the door to an entirely new market of portable devices that, along with smartphones, has eroded the traditional PC industry in a way that most people would have never imagined a few short years ago.

Thinner and lighter, but still solidly built; Great performance with power to spare; Efficient design, runs cooler than previous iPads; iOS 7 is a worthy update and strong app ecosystem

No Touch ID; Camera is just ok; iPad mini might give the Air a run for its money

Just as the original MacBook Air redefined laptop design, Apple is hoping to do the same thing for tablets with the iPad Air. This 1-pound slate attempts to combine a big-screen experience with a design so compact you can easily use it with one hand.

I am still learning all the ins and outs of my I Pad. I am very pleased with all the extras that came with it. I love shopping on HSN.

Look and feel Apple's last 9.7-inch iPad was far too clunky, but the iPad Air is beautifully slim and light enough to comfortably clutch for long periods. It still looks gorgeous too.

Light and slender build; Zippy A7 processor; Sleek new iOS 7; Great battery life

Not cheap; Good ol' iTunes; Still no memory card slot

That line was prominently displayed to audiences at Apple's June developer conference and the iPad Air event, during a video about the company's values and commitment to design. "If everyone is busy making everything," the video asks, "how can anyone perfect anything?

Lame as Apple's "Power of lightness is" tagline is it does seem apt. The iPad Air is much lighter than the iPad 4 , in fact it's lighter than most other tablets in its class at 469g. It has shed almost 200g, or 29%, of the weight that the iPad 4 carried. That's a massive generational leap.

Very light; Robust and premium design; Excellent screen; Solid battery life; Consummate all-rounder

Storage comes at a premium; No Touch ID
