I bought this a few weeks ago and was a little hesitant about doing so to be honest. I love apple products and have quite a few of them, and I had had an iPad years ago, but I didn’t really use it in the way I had planned because I generally felt that it was much easier to just do things on the computer, hence, my hesitation buying this product. However, my initial hesitation was unjustified because this product is worth its weight in gold! The functionality of this device is superb and now that it has handwriting to text capabilities with the Apple Pencil, it is everything I didn’t realise I had wanted and more. Unbelievably happy with this purchase and zero complaints.

I purchased this and a.gen 2 pencil, the product was amazing as I expected. But JB HIFI made the experience exceptional, from the in store advice thru to the online customer service, and delivery... this was an amazingly stress free, right on Christmas purchase from a A+++++ Company...

I’ve been using the new iPad Air (2020) for the past few weeks, throwing everything from writing and emailing to media editing at Apple’s midrange tablet, and I’m struggling to figure out why most people should step up to the iPad Pro.

iPad Pro design but far more affordable; Screen is excellent; Apple A14 Bionic processor is fast and future-proofed; Touch ID is slickly integrated

Cellular and higher storage upgrades are expensive; iPadOS still has some multi-tasking foibles

Cancelled my iPad Pro order when I heard this was coming out. So happy I did that. It has everything I wanted from the pro, cheaper, and has a finger print sensor which I prefer.

In 2020, the iPad Air will continue to position itself between the iPad 8 and the iPad Pro 11 , but it is now looking more to the Pro model. This is not only visible in the new design but also in the optional accessories such as Magic Keyboard and Pencil 2, which can be used with both products.

great design and processing; modern SoC; good battery life; good IPS display; versatile expandability; very good loudspeakers

WLAN is a bit slow; no 5G option; sparse scope of delivery

The iPad Air finally has a solid identity with its fourth-generation model—this time as an affordable alternative to the iPad Pro. While you miss out on features like the 120hz ProMotion display, quad speakers, FaceID, Ultra-wide-angle camera, and LIDAR, the 4th-generation iPad Air comes with...

TouchID finally makes a comeback; USB-C connectivity; Great display upgrade

TouchID location takes a little getting used to; More expensive than the previous-generation iPad Air

The iPad Air is a versatile, capable tablet that'll tempt many away from the iPad Pro 11, but it's not as cheap as it once was.

Great design; Large display; Compatible with Pro accessories;

Touch ID can be hard to locate; £100/$100 price hike; Thicker bezels than Pro range;

Apple iPad Air 4th generation (2020): The new iPad Air is a powerful, portable and practical alternative to a traditional laptop

Nearly as fast as the iPad Pro; Thin and light; Decent camera

Accessories are expensive

“The iPad Air 4 is the iPad Pro for the masses. It's perfectly situated to offer an exceptional tablet experience, without pushing into the territory of high-end laptop pricing.”

Excellent hardware design; Strong battery life and USB-C; Wonderful display; Pro-level performance; Magic Keyboard support; Fast fingerprint sensor

Base 64GB of storage; Expensive upsell to 256GB

Yes, if you are looking for a versatile, powerful portable computing device. In fact, if you are bored of the laptop and not really tied to that form factor then maybe you should consider that iPad Air which is most probably more powerful than most laptops out there now.
