Apple - 10.2-Inch iPad (9th Generation) with Wi-Fi - 64GB - Space Gray

Good for college note taking and casual games. Had an iPad 2 back in the day and it’s nostalgic. The only issue I have with it is that it charges kind of slow, but it does hold that charge for quite a bit. I could go to classes all day on 30-40% and be okay. It shouldn’t be an issue unless you’re intensely gaming on it or streaming for more than a few hours (and at that point you should stop and take a break anyway!). Display I rate at 4 stars because clearly it’s not as great as the OLED models but no matter what sunshine is it’s worst enemy.

This was one of the best purchases i’ve made! I have had this tablet for about 3ish weeks and it has exceeded my expectations. I bought it because i am going back to school in january and need something to take notes on BUT also be able to take handwritten notes on. The battery is long lasting. I purchased a keyboard and pencil off amazon and it transformed my ipad into a laptop aka what i was hoping for. I got a special type screen protector that makes writing on the ipad really feel like you’re writing on paper. I’ve uninstalled all apps from my phone that i can use on safari because my ipad goes everywhere i do. It is the price of a used one on other sites so i was very quick to buy this one brand new and recommend best buy to my boyfriend for the same reason. My boyfriend is going to be purchasing the 256 GB version from Best Buy because of how happy i am with this one.

Overall very happy with this purchase! Works perfectly and I got it for a great price. I’m using it for my graduate program and it’s so convenient to take with me to class and pull out to reference an article. The iPad holds a charge for a long time and I can easily tether it to my phone via hotspot just from the iPad. I literally use this every day

There are many advantages for this 9th gen iPad. First is price. It's a great value. The speed is excellent for most of us. I switched from a Samsung Android tablet and got Apples built-in advantages such as better apps. Although the screen is smaller than some, it's slightly larger than the Samsung Galaxy (Android) Tab A7 even though the Samsung claims to be 10.4 inches while the Apple claims to be only 10.2. This is true for the actual viewable screen size even though the iPad is larger. This is because the space surrounding the viewable area on the iPad (including the "Home" button at the bottom) aren't included in measuring viewable area. What the edge-to-edge viewable area of the Tab A7 does it make it difficult to manipulate full-screen apps. For example, my wife and I read a little from the Kindle app every day. The apps full-screen-only view on the Tab A7 causes us to move pages and sometimes jump while reading . That's not a problem with the iPad because of the convenient area that's OK to touch that surrounds the viewable screen area. Our old Tab A7s battery life has weakened over the years but was always several hours. The iPad's batter can last up to 11 hours during use which is much better than the Samsung's battery. There a some drawbacks. If you plan on storing a lot of photos, the small amount of memory will limit you. Also keep in mind that this iPad tablet does not use a standard USB-C cable like my iPhone 15. Instead, it uses Apple's proprietary "lightning" cable (included). That's inconvenient. It's taking us a while to get used to the Mac OS but my wife and I are warming to the 2 iPads we now use. I give this 4 stars because its excellent value for the price. I didn't give it 5 stars because of the limited memory and the fact that it's not the latest and greatest thing Apple has.

I’ve been using the 10.2-Inch iPad (9th Generation) for a few days, and it has been excellent for both personal and professional use. The 64GB storage provides enough space for my apps, photos, and occasional downloads, and the performance is smooth and responsive for multitasking. The Retina display is sharp and bright, which makes watching videos or browsing the web enjoyable. Plus, the battery life easily lasts me through the day. The classic Space Gray color looks sleek and professional, too. Overall, this iPad is a fantastic option if you need a reliable, budget-friendly device for everyday tasks. Highly recommend!

I am absolutely thrilled with my Apple 10.2-Inch iPad (9th Generation) with Wi-Fi in Silver! This device has truly exceeded my expectations in every aspect, especially when it comes to productivity and note-taking.

Best IPad i have had in years I am really enjoying it the price was right for me, I definitely needed a better IPad mine was really old and it had only 16 gigs and I couldn’t download anything, cause it was so old the new apps were not compatible to this iPad, I am on a budget and the price was in my budget I only paid 270.00 for a brand new 10.2 inch IPad with 64 gigs I have downloaded a lot of great apps that I could not download on my old IPad, I am so happy I bought this IPad! I just can’t stop playing my games on it! I highly recommend this IPad! I Love it! Thanks Best Buy! You ROCK!

Why did I buy this iPad? - I’m a student, and I need a device for study and entertainment. - I’m managing a social media page for an organization so I can use the iPad to do that. Advantages: - For study and work + This iPad is really fast and reliable + Taking notes and outlining ideas is very convenient. + With Apple Pencil and Logitech combo touch, this iPad is more and more useful. - For entertainment and other purposes + The display is clear and bright. + Speakers are good. + The very light weight that helps I can hold for a long time without any difficulty. + Touch ID is fast and reliable. + Fast charging and it may take around 1 hour not too long. - Disadvantages + Display color is a little bland compared to the iPad with my iPhone and my Macbook. This point has not affected my experience but if you have any works with color, I think you should consider other models. + With the keyboard and cover it will be a little heavier. + The new iPad OS isn’t stable right now, Safari sometimes crashes. + The trackpad of the Logitech cover sometimes freezes, I think it is because of the new OS but I’m not sure. + The non-laminated display is not beautiful like the Mini, Air, or Pro models. To be honest, I can’t realize if they are not side by side but I want to mention it because it may help you to make your decision. Summary With $250.00 this iPad has a good price/performance Thank you for reading my iPad 9th experience :)
