I recently bought the iPad Air 2 - WiFi 128 GB model for my mother as she loves watching cookery videos on Youtube and trying them out at home. She considers the iPad to be a boon for her hobby and never lets go of it.
The iPad, like all Apple products before it, has a very sturdy built. It came in the typical minimalistic packaging Apple is famous for. It has a brilliant display with a super responsive auto brightness adjust feature.
The storage capacity of 128 GB is sufficient even for the biggest movie buff.
Its seamless integration with your iCloud account is a blessing in disguise and works wonders.
The Touch ID is a bit slow(its 1st generation) when compared to the likes of iPhone 6s, 7, 8 and their Plus sized versions.
The iPad’s processing chip is a mini Lamborghini in my opinion. It never lags, never lets you down and is super responsive.
All in all, the iPad is a solid investment for at least 4 years, provided you use it with care and love.
