want to buy an ipad air. Any thoughts?

I upgraded from a iPad 4 to an iPad Air, and in all honesty, there isn't a great difference except the weight-loss. The Air is much more comfortable to hold because of its lighter design, and the reduced bezel in someways improves the grip, as it is more ergonomically designed compared to the previous generation iPads. Performance wise, I didn't notice a great improvement but for someone going from a iPad 2 to a Air, they will notice a vast improvement. Compared to a iPad 4, applications load up a little but quicker and iOS 7 feels bore utilized and responsive. But one key feature is the 64bit architecture which hasn't really been fully taken control of by app developers, I'm sure there are developers producing an update to embrace it, but the only developer I know of who uses it is Apple. The iPad Air isn't the greatest tablet in my opinion, there are many more tablets that have more PC-like features such as USB's. But the iPad Air is a pretty good competitor because of its specs, design and reliability... Until you drop it.

  • If I want to buy the iPad Air from US although I'm from Hong Kong, is there any difference between buying in Apple Store and in BestBuy ?

    If I want to buy the iPad Air from US although I'm from Hong Kong, is there any difference between buying in Apple Store and in BestBuy ?
    E.g. I buy it in BestBuy, I still can take the iPad Air to the genius bar if there are problems for the iPad?
    Thanks!

    Yes, as long as you buy a new device from an Apple Authorized reseller (which BestBuy is) then you have the normal Apple one year warranty with it.  Apple will honor that warranty in any of their stores, and anyone with any Apple device is welcome in any Apple retail store with questions or seeking help.

  • I want to buy an iPad Air and iPad Mini online, my question is if they are unlocked so I can use it on my country

    I`m from Costa Rica and want to buy an iPad mini and Air, when I try to buy it online I have to choose Verizon, Mobile, etc. to add it to my cart, is this normal buying on line so I can use it unlocked in my country.

    Some iPads have the ability to connect to a cellular connection for data.  This usually requires a subscription contract of 2 years.  If this is not what you want, don't choose the iPads with data services and just use WiFi.

  • I buy a ipad air i wanted to reset it but i dont have apple id of it plus i dont have any access to previous owner?

    i buy a ipad air i wanted to reset it but i dont have apple id of it plus i dont have any access to previous owner?

    If a second-hand iOS device has been 'Activation locked' then only the previous owner can unlock it, either by providing you with the account ID and password, or by removing it from his list of devices (as he should have done before selling it) - please see http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4515
    If you are unable to contact him to do this then I'm afraid you will not be able to use the device - there is no other way of unlocking it at all. Apple cannot unlock it for you.
    You should if possible return it to wherever you bought it and ask for a refund as in this event the device is completely useless.

  • Is possible buy the IPAD air open to any celular companies?

    is possible buy the IPAD air open to any celular companies?

    There are still different cellular systems.  You should purchase an iPad with cellular for the carrier you plan on using.  You can purchase with cellular, but not activate the option and use wifi alone.

  • Can I buy a IPad Air wifi and cellular in Thailand and use the full options in the Netherlands?

    Dear all,
    I was wondering if i can buy i ipad air in Thailand and use the full options also in the Netherlands. At the moment I am in Thailand for 5 months. After those 5 months i will return back to the netherlands and want to use a dutch sim card for internet access? Is that possible?
    Do some people have the experience with tis, and do you recomend me to buy the product over here?
    Thank you in advance,
    Marco

    At least with the Apple Stores in Southern California and in the Los Angeles area, only the lower-end standard models listed on the Apple web site are in stock. Ones with upgrades to the processor and RAM -- and also to storage -- need to be custom ordered either via the web site or through the toll free Apple phone number. They will build the new Mac to the exact specifications that you request right at the factory and then ship it to any store that you specify, and they can also give you a very good estimate for the day it will arrive at the specified store.
    I recently did this for a 13-inch Macbook Air, where we ordered the fastest processor, the max memory (8 GB), and the most internal storage (512 GB). It arrived at the Apple Store about 5 days after the order was placed.

  • I want to buy an ipad for someone that lives in Brazil. Which carrier should i buy so that it will work with the carriers in Brazil?

    Look, any officially unlocked GSM iPhone will work in India. You purchase from Dubai, no FaceTime, and Dubai is part of the UAE. You purchase anywhere but India, and you will have NO warranty or support. Frankly, doesn't make any sense to me why you want to do this...and don't bother telling me you save hundreds of dollars...still doesn't make any sense. Do a forum search here. We get posts daily, from users in India, who didn't purchase their iPhones in India...guess what? They all have problems. You want to join that bunch? It's your money, have at it.

  • I want to buy an Ipad , my usage would be apps like Guitar Pro, iRig, a few books and a few games. would 16gb be sufficient?

    I want to buy an Ipad , my usage would be apps like Guitar Pro, iRig, a few books and a few games. would 16gb be sufficient?

    I've always had 16GB iDevices and have personally never had any problem with running out of space. You definitely do not need to keep everything on the device (like 2-3 weeks or more of solid music playback). You can always offload what you don't need on the device to your PC and have plenty of space. If you mange your memory, you will always have enough...and I've always had enough, even with a "paltry" 16GB. Others may feel differently.

  • I'm hoping to buy a "ipad air" or "ipad mini 2" to read PDFs, which one is the best....????(need a help), I'm a university student .

    I'm hoping to buy a ipad air or ipad mini 2 to read PDFs, which one is the best....????
    (need a help)
    I'm a university student .

    They can both read PDFs. It will really boil down to what screen size you prefer and how portable you want it. The iPad Air has a larger screen, but weighs more than the iPad Mini2. Either one will work for you, its just a matter of preference.
    Hope this helps!

  • I want to buy an ipad 2 3G but i am not a US resident, how can i get to work on a local network NOT verizon or AT

    i want to buy an ipad 2 3G but i am not a US resident, how can i get to work on a local network NOT verizon or AT&T

    From your screen name would it be safe to guess that you will be using it in Egypt? If your carrier uses is a GSM network you can do as Chris suggests.
    From the Apple page http://www.apple.com/eg/buy/   there is a link to Arab Buisness Machine, they sell the iPad 2 and offer local support should any problems arise.

  • I want to buy the ipad 2... but i know the ipad 3 is coming soon... will you have a pre-vent of ipad 3?

    i want to buy the ipad 2... but i know the ipad 3 is coming soon... apple you will have a pre-vent of ipad 3?

    I have no idea what you mean by a "pre-vent", but Apple has not announced any new models of iPad, and discussions of rumors and speculation is not allowed in these forums. We'll have to wait until such time as Apple announces a new model and then see if they have a "pre-vent", whatever that might be.
    Regards.

  • I live in the US and want to buy a MacBook Air with norwegian keyboard in the Apple Store. Is that possible?

    I live in the US and want to buy a MacBook Air with norwegian keyboard in the Apple Store. Is that possible?

    In earlier years you can go th an Apple Store, buy a Macbook Pro and ask for a replacement to a other type of keyboard. I do this 2-3 times in the last years for german keyboards. If you done this on the same day you bought the macbook, the replacement happened without charge anything. It was a great service.
    Yesterday i go back to the same store like before and both - the sales representative and the guys an the GeniusBar told me - that this is not offered by Apple anymore. Because the US Apple Online Store do not offer other Keyboards the US-based keyboards and the German Apple Online Store do not deliver to other countries the final conglusion from the Apple Stuff was:
    Flight to germany, but it over their.
    I see here in the Support community a lot of questions about norwegian, german and other kind of keyboards they want to buy in the US. Their is obviously a need for this. And from the logistic standpoint, it should be easy for Apple to offer that in the Online Stores itself.
    For me the conglusaion is: I stay with my old Macbook Pro and hope i need no replacement within the next years. To order it in germany, ship it to a friend, pay taxes twice (in germany and vur customers) plus shipment, make it to expensive (bottonline: 600-800$ more than buy it in the US) make no sense to me.
