I've had this iPad for just a few weeks but I love it. It arrived brand new in original packaging with all the standard accessories. I bought the iPad for the sole purpose of using it to start getting into digital art. When I say sole purpose, I mean I only use this iPad for ProCreate. I never have the internet on or use it for videos since I use my MacAir or iPhone for those things. I purchased the Apple Pencil and it works wonderfully on this iPad. For anyone who is interested in this more budget iPad for digital art or taking notes, I would recommend it.
I bought a case for the iPad and it isn't as light as you might think. It has some weight to it. So if you are someone who really needs a REALLY lightweight tablet, this might not be great.
The battery life so far is amazing. But, like I said before I don't have the internet on or any other app running besides ProCreate when I am using it.
Maybe in two years this little guy won't be running so great, but for right now I am so pleased with my purchase. The one thing I might regret is not buying the one with more GB of memory.
If you are looking into breaking into digital art, or would like to start doing digital illustrations, I would recommend this. However, for someone who has a good grasp of digital art or has used a previous tablet, consider the size of this tablet. If you need a lot of space to draw, this screen size might be too small and you should consider the 10 or 12 inch ipad Pro line. I have small hands and haven't ever used a tablet to draw before so it works great for me.
I am really enjoying my new iPad, and I’m so glad I paid a little extra for the extra storage (128GB) so I never again have to second-guess downloading something I really want due to space concerns, Also love the color - somewhere between Apple’s rose gold and regular gold. I do a lot or reading on my device, and the white border is easier on my eyes for that.
The clarity of the pictures and everything on my ipad is very very impressive. I have an iphone and for other purposes use dell and asus window computers. The size is great. Some things require some more research, like how to get extensions added to safari, but thanks to the internet questions like these are quickly resolved.
If you like clear pictures and text and easy navigation, then the iPad is for you. I noticed that the battery drains a lot slower than on my iPhone, but then it seems to take a while to charge once it is drained. Plugging it in at night should always give me an ipad ready to go.
So happy with this purchase.
Awesome tablet! A must have for me and what I have been using it for.....Apple is nice and I use android a lot so… This was a big unknown for me… buy one you won’t regret it…you may want to grab one with a little more memory if you need that but for me and my wife 32 gigs was more than enough…
The IPad came factory sealed in a white box. I had some issues. You are allowed to try and enter your wifi security code up to ten times. Each time I had entered the correct code to unlock and use wifi, a message had said incorrectly. I did not expect issues or problems for the cash spent. I called up my cable provider, they came to the house, and reset the modem and router. Mind you, the wifi code was correct, and the modem and router were working just fine allowing network access. After some hair pulling, I turned on the iPad and was able to connect, and set up said iPad. Let this be a lesson to those that expect a problem-free product from Apple. If you cannot set up using your wifi code, turn off the modem and router for ten minutes, then turn it on, then turn on the pad. If this won't work, call cable. If that won't work, box it and send it back. You should not have to go to iTunes because you had tried ten times to unlock your iPad. Nothing is worth that trouble, and frankly, even once restored to factory settings, the same issue will persist. Otherwise, product arrived in great condition from the seller, well packed and after some struggle worked fine. Had this issue continued, seller would have this iPad right back special delivery. One star off for the hassle.

And iOS makes iPad powerful, personal, and intelligent, so you can do more than ever before. Even better. iPad. There's nothing else quite like It.
I’ve had iPads since the very first one. They just keep getting better. This is no exception. I’m looking forward to being able to use the new Apple Pencil with this iPad. Info says it’s compatible with this model. My only regret is that they dropped the 64GB version. But 32GB is sufficient for me. I’m learning some options to reduce what is actually stored here. But it is a joy.
Very happy with my purchase :D I tested an iPad Pro and didn't see a huge difference. I use it mainly for digital art. Couldn't be happier.
I bought this for my wife as some game updates for it meant she could no longer play some of the games with her friends so she had to move from iPad 3 to iPad 6.
It seems she finds the iPad easier to use than an Android device - beats me why, I've always found Android to be simpler and more powerful to control. I guess that's it, really, Android is makes it easier to get more from a device while Apple maintains it's 'walled garden' approach.
As for the iPad itself; it works and that's about all I can say for it.
Moving data from my wife's old iPad to the new one proved to take over two exhausting, infuriating days - for me - she can't manipulate the thing at all. I hate Apple products and think the world would be better without them, but there it is.
I've given this device 4 starts based on my wife's rating, if it was mine, I would give it a one star, simply because it worked when I turned it on.
Full marks, however, to the suppliers, Laptops Inc, for a first rate service.
Great tablet for the money. I'm an Android phone person but there's really no competition with iOS in the tablet department. Yes Apple sometimes drives me crazy with their "high security" and bugs but overall it's still the best tablet for the money in quality, longevity, frequent updates, and resell value. The Android tablets I have bought are all cheaper but I never seem to end up getting anywhere close to the use I get from Apple tablets so the Android tablets don't really end up being the better buy in the end.
UPDATE 2019-02-11: Still a good tablet overall but I'm lowering my rating to 4 stars because Apple security is "nuts". It just wasted my time signing me out of stuff and forcing my to change my password. Really annoying when you are trying to get stuff done and you have to keep entering your Apple ID and password for anything to work and for all the annoying prompts to go away long enough for you to do something.
Ordered the new iPad because the sale was too good to let go. I had wanted the iPad Apple Pencil pair, so being able to get both for the price of just the iPad after tax was worth it. Apple got us, yet again. Not that I mind though, I love my apple products. This iPad is a great example. I will primarily be using it for digital art/graphic design/photo editing adobe type programs. I’ve used half the Wacom models, including the cintique. Haven’t had a chance to use the new iPad Pro and pencil, but for the more affordable version, this earns all 5 stars.
#1, gorgeous screen, easy to set up, easy to use right out of the box. Set up is even easier now if you have another apple device. The setup prompt me to grab an apple device logged into my account already. From there I entered my passcode on my phone, before I knew it the iPad was asking if I wanted all my apps brought over, or if I wanted to start fresh. They took what I thought was already a pretty easy process thanks to iCloud, and made it even more user friendly.
#2, it feels like the money you spent. Unlike other android devices I have attempted, iOS devices have never let me down in the quality department. This being said, it’s not as light as the kindle fire or what have you, but it’s going to last longer and be a more enjoyable experience over all for the extra couple of ounces. It’s not heavy compared to my MacBook, which is why I have it. Fits in my purse while still being a gorgeous screen to watch movies on. Retina displays will change your life, and ruin every other screen you look at.
#3, the Apple Pencil. I get it now. And do not regret a single penny spent. The pressure sensitivity, accuracy of the accelerometer, how fast it charges, and how the pen to screen experience is closer to paper than anything I’ve ever used. I’m talking Wacom Cintique level accuracy on a tablet. It feels unreal. I love my moleskines more than the next person, but I’m worried they might be getting less use in the coming months just because this is so user friendly.
I’ll be sure to add battery details or any updates, but those 3 alone were enough to sell me on the purchase.
