Apple iPad MC706LL/A (32GB, Wi-Fi, Black)

Wasn't sure what I was getting into when I bought it. Compared to Nexus and Samsung models along with Nook tablet. This just seemed to be a better option. I've been happy with it ever since. I did have to have friends help with the learning curve and I will be going to the Apple store for some classes, there is a lot of capability that I'm not utilizing yet.

I know that apple is going to the smaller connection, but everything I own is the older wider connection so this iPad worked for me. I did not have to buy two connectors for each device.<br />Works well.... I should have gotten one sooner

The 3 is a great product. Display is second to none, speaker isnt bad, camera on back is far better than my ipod touch4g. 1080p video with this cam is excellent. I have always been happy with Apples products, altho theyre a little overpriced. I got an otterbox dfender case for it, i highly recommend the ipad3.

It's an Apple product so as always, it's pretty easy to use right out of the box. Lots of nice features, but does lack a few cool ones that I've seen on certain Android devices. The screen is awesome, I mean, it's a retina display so that's the be expected. As for the value, it's overpriced as most Apple products are for their features, but it's worth it because it runs so much smoother than any Android I have owned.

There's almost NO limit to what you can do. Whether for business, art, music.<br />The only turn off is the very low quality camera. I mean, if you're gonna make an ultimate tablet, might as well kick it in with a good camera.<br />Other than that, really there's nothing I can find wrong with iPad. I mean, it's the iPad.

This is simply one of the best devices. I'm using this instead a travel computer and it is good since I can read news, reports, email and watch TV.<br />Since I'm using it only when I'm sited or in a plane, I don't see necessary to have internet all day on it.

You should be aware that the 3rd generation iPad is a discontinued model. Although it offers retina display, it's not the same as the iPad with retina display. Considering that it's a discontinued model (no where will you find this on the Best Buys site) it should be considerably cheaper than it is. The 4th generation iPad with retina display is faster, has a sharper screen, and contains a number of other hardware improvements and it's only a little more expensive than this model. I would think that the 3rd generation would be discounted heavily, but they continue to sell it as if it's state-of-the-art. When you're looking at the Apple site and comparing units, you'll see there are only 3 iPad models: the mini, 2nd generation and iPad with retina display (4th generation). This is a good product, but for the price you'd be better off purchasing the 4th generation iPad.

I consider this an upgrade from Android Tablet to IPad 3rd Gen. Great screen quality and the usual user friendly Apple technology. Very fast response. Great value for the price. Love it.

I purchased this iPad for work. Its great for doing email, the note apps that are availabe are cool for meetings and seminars. Facetime is a great app for talking with people in other markets. I did try an android tablet before buying this ipad. It was the Asus transformer prime. It was nice too but had some bugs. It would shut off for no reason and wouldnt always work right. I took it back and got this iPad instead. You just don't see those problems on the Apple products. They cost more but seem function better. Accessories are expensive but its nice that you have plenty to choose from.

Bought this as a follow up for my lap top, but seem to be using it more than the other computer. It's so handy and responsive, fits nicely into a tote bag for travel.

I'll admit this thing is great. It's easy to use most of the time, it is fast and easy to respond to your finger input. I like how th screen is almost the exact size of a piece of paper. I don't like how restrictive the ipad is, as with other apple products...like a file manager( ie, if I download a file, I want to know where it goes instead of relying on a program to open it. And your still at the mercy of the Open In function).

i am very satisfied with my ipad. it is my very first purchase like this. so i am still learning all about it. i also took pictues and video with it. pictures outside are awesome. so clear and bright. inside, i wish for a flash.

I've hesitated to buy the ipad for 2 years as I kept thinking I could use my laptop just as easily. Not so. I love sitting on the couch playing word games, taking it outside to enjoy the weather. I would do that with my laptop, but less often. the ipad is so much easier to hold

Over priced (like all Apple products) - especially if you want more than the minimum amount of memory. Iif you're looking to save, get something Android powered.

Everything's great about it. But when I upgraded to iOS 6, they got rid of the YouTube and Google map so I had to install the alternative apps but they're not as great as the 2. I don't use those as much anyway so I'm still loving the iPad.
